  • Analyse and reporting test results related to grid primary and secondary equipment.
  • Review design documents to effectively support projects and mitigate technical risks at all stages of project delivery.
  • Proactively identify and address technical issues, taking preventive measures, and managing deviations from project schedule, budget, or scope.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional internal and external stakeholders including system operators, design teams, construction management teams and construction contractors to manage the design and delivery process, with a focus on providing technical grid connection designs and installation.
  • Conducting site visits and supporting project delivery teams to mitigate challenges from installation through to commissioning and compliance testing.

  • Basic understanding of ROI/UK distribution and transmission systems and key stakeholders.
  • Proven track record of successful project delivery of high voltage grid connection assets, with a focus on safety, timelines, quality, and cost.
