Summary

HV Commissioning Engineer - Contract

Up to £800 per day

UK Wide | HV Power | 11kV-132kV

Experienced HV Commissioner?

We're looking for an experienced

HV Commissioning Engineer for ongoing project work across the UK.

You'll be working on major HV infrastructure projects, with a significant proportion of the current workload supporting renewable energy and data centre developments.

This is hands-on commissioning work across systems from 11kV through to 132kV.

You'll be working across:

Primary and secondary testing

Protection relay testing and configuration

Secondary injection testing

Transformers and HV switchgear

CTs and VTs

SCADA and control systems

G99/G59 testing

Fault finding

Energisation and handover

Commissioning documentation

We're looking for:

Strong hands-on commissioning experience at 11kV+

Protection relay and secondary injection experience

Omicron/Megger or similar test equipment experience

DNO, ICP, IDNO or private network experience

Ability to work independently on site

SAP status or experience working under an SAP

Experience at 132kV would be particularly attractive, although strong engineers operating at lower HV levels will also be considered.

The important bit

This is

UK-wide project work and will regularly involve staying away during the week.

You can therefore be based virtually anywhere in the UK, provided you're happy travelling to wherever the project is.

Rate: up to £800/day depending on experience.

If you're an established HV Commissioning Engineer looking for well-paid, technically interesting project work with a strong pipeline behind it, we'd like to hear from you.
