This is a rare opportunity to join a major nuclear commissioning programme, playing a key role in bringing critical electrical systems into operation on a flagship power generation project. You'll be working alongside some of the industry's leading engineering professionals, gaining exposure to large-scale commissioning activities in a highly regulated environment. If you thrive in a technical, hands-on role and want to be part of a project that will shape the UK's energy future, this could be the ideal next step. Few engineering projects offer the scale, complexity, and long-term career value of nuclear commissioning. You'll be involved in the testing, validation, and handover of critical electrical systems across a major infrastructure programme, developing expertise that is highly sought-after throughout the energy, nuclear, and industrial sectors. Working within a collaborative commissioning team, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of commissioning activities while supporting the safe and successful delivery of a nationally important project. As an Electrical Commissioning Engineer, you'll support the delivery of commissioning activities across a variety of electrical systems, helping to ensure they are safely tested, validated, and prepared for operation. Your responsibilities will include: • Developing commissioning documentation, test procedures, and validation plans, • Planning and executing commissioning activities for electrical systems, • Carrying out commissioning tests in accordance with approved procedures, • Reviewing and supporting electrical system designs to ensure efficient commissioning and operability, • Liaising with project managers, designers, contractors, and commissioning teams, • Supervising contractor commissioning personnel during testing and commissioning activities, • Analysing, verifying, and validating commissioning results, • Producing technical reports and commissioning records, • Supporting project milestones and commissioning programme delivery, • Ensuring compliance with nuclear, industrial, environmental, and safety regulations, • Completing commissioning documentation, test records, and system handover certificates, • Identifying and resolving technical issues during commissioning activities Engineers will typically specialise in one of the following areas but will have opportunities to work across multiple disciplines throughout the project: • High Voltage (HV), • Low Voltage (LV), • DC Systems, • Generator Systems You’ll gain experience working across a wide range of electrical systems including: • 400kV systems, • 10kV systems, • 690VAC systems, • 400VAC systems, • 220VDC systems, • Control and instrumentation voltages, • HNC, HND, or equivalent qualification in a relevant engineering discipline, • Strong experience carrying out commissioning, maintenance, testing, operational activities, or fault finding within electrical systems, • Previous experience working in high-hazard or industrial environments, • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills The following would be advantageous: • Degree qualification in Electrical Engineering, • Previous experience within nuclear or highly regulated industries, • Experience with commissioning and system validation activities, • Knowledge of electrical system testing and operational readiness programmes, • Opportunity to work on one of the UK's largest infrastructure projects, • Exposure to complex electrical systems and world-class commissioning practices, • Long-term contract potential within a growing sector, • Valuable nuclear industry experience, • Collaborative and highly skilled project teams, • Excellent career development and future opportunities within the energy sector, • The chance to play a key role in delivering a nationally significant project If you’re an Electrical Commissioning Engineer looking to expand your expertise within a major nuclear programme and work on a project of unparalleled scale and complexity, we’d love to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
