The Opportunity
Shape the Future of Critical National Infrastructure!
At Black & Veatch, we are helping clients modernise, upgrade and develop some of the UK's most important infrastructure assets. As part of our growing Nuclear Infrastructure team, we are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support the design and engineering of facilities, systems and infrastructure that enable the safe operation, maintenance and expansion of nuclear sites.
This is an opportunity to work on technically complex, high-profile projects that support the UK's energy and infrastructure goals. Importantly, this role focuses on the engineering and design of electrical infrastructure within nuclear environments, rather than nuclear technology, reactor physics or power generation science.
Whether your background comes from nuclear, power generation, transmission and distribution, industrial process plants, manufacturing facilities, data centres, defence infrastructure or other highly regulated environments, we would like to hear from you.
The Role
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will provide technical expertise across the design and delivery of electrical systems supporting major nuclear infrastructure projects.
You will work as part of multidisciplinary engineering teams delivering solutions for both existing and new-build nuclear facilities, supporting clients through design, upgrade, refurbishment and asset optimisation programmes.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead or support the delivery of electrical design packages for nuclear infrastructure projects.
- Develop and review:
- Single-line and three-line diagrams.
- Protection and control schematics.
- Motor control and equipment wiring diagrams.
- Cable schedules and cable sizing calculations.
- Electrical equipment layouts and interconnection drawings.
- Perform engineering calculations including:
- Load flow studies.
- Short circuit analysis.
- Motor starting studies.
- Arc flash assessments.
- Battery and charger sizing.
- Protection coordination studies.
- Prepare technical specifications, scope documents and bills of materials for procurement and construction.
- Undertake site surveys and assessments to understand existing infrastructure and identify engineering solutions.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, project managers and clients.
- Support project planning, budget development and programme delivery.
- Provide technical leadership, mentoring and guidance to junior engineers.
- Ensure compliance with UK regulatory requirements, client standards and engineering best practice.
