Full Job Description

Join us and drive innovative cable engineering solutions for our transmission network. Strategic Infrastructure is developing and constructing a series of HVDC projects along the east coast of Great Britain. These projects play a vital part in achieving the UK Government's ambition of connecting 50GW of offshore wind by 2030. As a Senior Cables Engineer, you'll oversee the scoping, development and technical assurance for new cable assets supporting our growing HVDC technology portfolio. The principal value created by this role is the identification and management of cable engineering opportunities and risks so that the overall business risk profile is suitably managed. To create asset value, we require a cable engineering design, installation and testing plan which underpins the quality and timely delivery of a complex onshore and offshore electricity transmission portfolio. The role is designed to build upon the good work already underway and support the implementation of an engineering capability growth plan. As a Subject Matter Expert, you'll establish consistent ways of working with Asset Operations, JV partners and OEM's to create and embed world-class engineering practices across our growing portfolio of transmission assets. You'll be a thought leader who is passionate about creating sustainable cable engineering solutions to shape the asset management strategy.,

  • Provide technical and asset management leadership in the area of high voltage cables.
  • Develop and implement strategies for the management of onshore and offshore HVAC & HVDC cable systems.
  • Lead in the scoping, development and execution of cable system projects, for example planning and managing subsea cable surveys.
  • Ensure the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of cable solutions - be they physical assets, digital assets and their associated construction and maintenance methodologies.
  • Lead and shape National Grid's relationships with key external stakeholders (e.g. regulators, professional bodies, suppliers, international engineering institutions, academic institutions).

    Good technical understanding of High Voltage Cables, both AC & DC, Onshore and Offshore.
  • Knowledge and understanding of the principles of Asset Management.
  • Ability to assist with the commissioning of HV cables to recognised standards and procedures.
  • Strong knowledge of strategy, policy and procedures development and implementation.
  • Project delivery experience on a full range of complex, multi-interface projects.
  • Experience of working with procurement and suppliers to introduce new ways of working and sustainable products.
  • Able to think beyond convention; employing strategic frameworks and concepts, engineering, asset and market knowledge to a range of new and novel applications to derive value and to solve business issues.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of gaining a high degree of credibility and influencing teams.

    The British Energy Security Strategy set out the Government's ambition to connect up to 50GW of offshore generation to the electricity network by 2030. Facilitating this ambition will require significant reinforcements to the onshore electricity transmission network. National Grid Strategic Infrastructure will make this happen.
  • Here at National Grid, we connect homes and businesses to power, making sure supply and demand match each other. We make sure the lights are on in schools, operating theatres, and sporting arenas; we're thousands of people working on behalf of millions of people. Our investment in Strategic Infrastructure via The Great Grid Upgrade will mean more home grown power, greater energy security and a cleaner future. Whatever your role, wherever you work with us, you'll help us hit stretching targets and achieve our far-reaching goal: to secure, clean energy that supports our world far into the future. Here, you will be at the heart of energy., At National Grid, we work towards the highest standards in everything we do, including how we support, value and develop our people. Our aim is to encourage and support employees to thrive and be the best they can be. We celebrate the difference people can bring into our organisation, and welcome and encourage applicants with diverse experiences and backgrounds, and offer flexible and tailored support, at home and in the office.

    A competitive salary between £70,000 - £85,000 - dependent on capability.
