Design Manager / Senior Design Engineer – HV Grid Connections Salary: £55,000 – £70,000 + package Location: Bristol (hybrid working) The Opportunity An opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing engineering contractor delivering high voltage grid connection and renewable energy projects across the UK. This is a business that has established itself quickly within the market, growing from circa £8m turnover in its first year to over £15m currently, with a clear plan to reach £28m in the next financial year. A significant proportion of that revenue is already secured, providing strong stability alongside continued growth. They specialise in delivering 132kV grid connections for solar and battery energy storage developments, operating on a full turnkey basis from design through to commissioning. With expansion underway into transmission-level private connections and international markets, the business is entering a key phase of development. This role will suit a Design Manager or Senior Design Engineer looking to move into a broader, more influential role within a growing organisation. The Culture The business operates with a genuinely close-knit team dynamic, built around individuals who have worked together previously and continue to do so in a collaborative and supportive way. It is not a corporate environment. The structure is relatively flat, communication is direct, and individuals are trusted to take responsibility for their work. There is a strong emphasis on creating a workplace where people enjoy coming to work, supported by regular team events and a relaxed but professional atmosphere. As the business grows, maintaining this culture remains a key priority. The Role This is not a traditional design role focused purely on production. The position centres on managing and coordinating the full design lifecycle across projects, ensuring alignment between civil, electrical and earthing disciplines. Key responsibilities include: • Managing design from initial data capture through to as-built, • Coordinating external design consultants and subcontractors, • Ensuring integration across all design disciplines, • Reviewing and validating design outputs, • Supporting overall project delivery alongside operations teams About You You will have experience within substation or grid connection projects and a strong understanding of how design integrates into overall delivery. Key experience: • Substation or high voltage project experience, • Design coordination or design management exposure, • Understanding of full project lifecycle, • Ability to work across multiple disciplines A civil engineering bias would be highly advantageous, although candidates with broader coordination experience will also be considered. Working Arrangements • Bristol-based, 3 days per week in the office, • Hybrid flexibility outside of this, • Limited site travel as required Package • £55,000 – £70,000 salary, • 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, • Private healthcare (AXA) after probation, • 5% pension contribution, • Death in service (4x salary) This role does not include a car allowance. Additional benefits include company events, team activities and a strong emphasis on a positive working environment. Why This Role This is an opportunity to: • Join a growing business at a key stage of development, • Play a central role in shaping the design function, • Work within a close-knit, collaborative team, • Move into a broader role with greater influence and responsibility Process Two-stage interview process with flexibility on format and quick decision-making

Project Manager / Senior Project Manager – HV Grid Connections Salary: £65,000 – £85,000 + car allowance (£500–£600 pcm) + package Location: Bristol (hybrid working) The Opportunity An opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing engineering contractor delivering high voltage grid connection and renewable energy projects across the UK. This is a business that has established itself quickly within the market, growing from circa £8m turnover in its first year to over £15m currently, with a clear plan to reach £28m in the next financial year. A significant proportion of that revenue is already secured, providing strong stability alongside continued growth. They specialise in delivering 132kV grid connections for solar and battery energy storage developments, operating on a full turnkey basis from design through to commissioning. With expansion underway into transmission-level private connections and international markets, the business is entering a key phase of development. This role will suit a Project Manager looking for greater ownership, visibility and progression within a growing organisation, rather than being one part of a larger corporate structure. The Culture The business has been built by a close-knit group of individuals who have worked together previously, and that has shaped a collaborative and supportive working environment. It is informal without compromising on professionalism. There is a strong sense of trust, accountability and shared responsibility across the team, with people given the autonomy to manage their work without unnecessary layers of process. As the business grows, maintaining this culture is a priority. New hires will be joining a team where relationships matter, communication is open, and there is a genuine focus on enjoying the working environment alongside delivering high-quality projects. The Role This is a true end-to-end Project Manager position with full ownership of delivery. You will be responsible for managing projects from design through to commissioning, ensuring programme, commercial and stakeholder requirements are met. Key responsibilities include: * Full lifecycle project delivery from design through to commissioning * Ownership of programme (no planners in the business) * Budget and commercial management * Managing client, DNO and subcontractor relationships * Leading project teams including QS, design and site delivery Projects are typically greenfield developments ranging from £7m to £20m. About You You will come from a high voltage or ICP background and be comfortable taking full responsibility for projects. Key experience: * 132kV or high voltage substation / grid connection experience * Delivery of turnkey infrastructure or renewable projects * NEC contract experience (Option A preferred) * Programme management using MS Project or Primavera This role would suit a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager, and may also appeal to a Project Director who still enjoys being hands-on in delivery. Working Arrangements * Bristol-based office, 3 days per week * Site visits typically a couple of times per month * Hybrid flexibility outside of this Package * £65,000 – £85,000 salary * Car allowance (£500–£600 per month) * 30 days holiday plus bank holidays * Private healthcare (AXA) after probation * 5% pension contribution * Death in service (4x salary) Additional benefits include regular company events, social activities and a strong team-focused environment. Why This Role This is an opportunity to join a business where you will: * Have genuine ownership of your projects * Be part of a close-knit, supportive team * Progress as the business continues to scale * Work in a less corporate, more agile environment Process Two-stage interview process with a quick turnaround for the right candidate
