HV Commissioning Engineer

Description

HV Commissioning Engineer - 11kV-132kV

70,000- 80,000 + Overtime + Door-to-Door Pay + Vehicle + Excellent Benefits

Home Based / UK Wide

Realistic total package 120,000+

If you're an experienced HV Commissioning Engineer and don't mind spending time away from home, this is a package worth looking at.

We're recruiting for a growing specialist HV engineering business delivering major power infrastructure projects across the UK, with a particularly strong pipeline within renewable energy and data centre environments.

You'll be home based and travel directly to project sites across the UK. Staying away during the week will be a regular part of the job.

In return, the earning potential is excellent.

The package

Basic salary circa 80,000

Paid door-to-door, including travel between your hotel and site

Regular overtime opportunities, including double-time payments

Additional payment simply for staying away

Generous subsistence allowance

Company van and fuel card

Private healthcare

Dental cover

Excellent wider benefits package

Realistic overall package worth 100,000+

The job

You'll carry out testing and commissioning of HV electrical infrastructure from 11kV through to 132kV.

Projects include major grid connections, substations and complex power infrastructure, with much of the current workload supporting renewable energy and data centre developments.

You'll be involved in:

Primary and secondary testing

Protection relay testing and configuration

Secondary injection testing

Transformers and switchgear

CTs and VTs

SCADA and control systems

G99/G59 testing

Fault finding and diagnostics

Commissioning documentation and reports

Energisation and handover

About you

We're looking for an experienced HV commissioning professional rather than somebody whose experience is predominantly installation or maintenance.

You'll ideally have:

Strong hands-on HV commissioning experience

Experience across 11kV, 33kV and ideally higher voltages

Protection and secondary injection experience

Experience with equipment such as Omicron and/or Megger

DNO, ICP, IDNO or private HV network experience

Ability to read schematics, SLDs and protection drawings

SAP status or good experience working under an SAP

You don't necessarily need to have commissioned at 132kV already if you've got strong HV commissioning experience and the capability to progress.

You can live anywhere in the UK.

What you must be comfortable with is travelling nationwide and regularly staying away Monday to Friday.

For somebody who enjoys site work, wants technically interesting HV projects and is happy travelling, the combination of basic salary, overtime, paid travel and stay-away payments makes this a seriously strong permanent package.
