Our client are seeking a Senior Electrical Cable Engineer on a permament staff basis to be based in Warrington. This role is supporting the SMR programme within the nuclear industry.
As a Senior Engineer, your day-to‑day responsibilities span the entirety of the electrical system lifecycle:
Cabling & Datasets: Develop, maintain, and quality-check critical electrical datasets, including load schedules and cable schedules.
System Design & Calculations: Perform design calculations for electrical distribution networks, specifically focusing on cable sizing, protection coordination, discrimination studies, and earthing/lightning protection systems.
Layout & Integration: Work closely with the Layout and Installation Assemblies team to integrate Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) modules, ensuring cables and installation assemblies support the factory‑fabricated modular delivery strategy.
Verification & Validation (V&V): Formulate independent planning, review, and assessment of verification evidence for HV and LV power networks, transformers, switchgear, and cable routing systems to satisfy nuclear regulatory standards.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Interface seamlessly across Mechanical, Civil, Control & Instrumentation (C&I), Safety, and Supply Chain teams to resolve technical assumptions or design changes.
Technical Governance: Author technical reports for regulatory engagement, act as an "intelligent customer" when dealing with supplier deliverables, and mentor junior engineers.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Education: Degree-level qualification in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline (or equivalent depth of industry experience).
Industry Experience: Proven experience across the electrical system lifecycle within a highly regulated industry. While a nuclear background is highly desirable, experience in Defence, Aerospace, Rail, Marine, or Oil & Gas is highly valued.
Technical Knowledge:
Profound understanding of HV/LV and MV power networks, electrical system architectures, and power distribution.
Familiarity with electrical design and analysis software (e.g., ETAP, SKM Power Tools, or similar industry packages).
Mastery of Systems Engineering methodologies (requirements management, interface controls, and configuration traceability).
