Role Responsibilities Oversee the delivery of substation primary plant and cable engineering activities, ensuring outputs meet agreed quality expectations, timescales, and commercial objectives. Develop comprehensive primary plant designs, including layout development, equipment specifications, short-circuit and cable system calculations, TMF assessments, and the selection and specification of auxiliary systems. Apply an in-depth understanding of earthing philosophy and system X/R characteristics to define suitable transformer neutral earthing resistor requirements. Carry out transmission- and distribution-level design tasks in alignment with relevant DNO and national transmission operator standards. Undertake site‐based assessments and provide guidance on constructability considerations and installation constraints for project teams. Take full responsibility for the technical integrity of primary designs, managing risks linked to design changes, safety, operational performance, and compliance with client and industry requirements. Introduce and champion innovative approaches to complex design challenges and technical issues. Provide leadership across all aspects of primary plant engineering, including transformers, GIS/AIS switchgear, busbar arrangements, GIB systems, cable terminations, and associated substation equipment at voltages up to 400 kV. Use strong analytical capability and numerical proficiency to produ...
