Principal HV Cable Design Engineer
Linkit Recruitment Limited
Manchester
Hybrid
Senior
£65,000
TECH-AGNOSTIC ROLE

UK Energy Infrastructure | Hybrid | Leadership Role

Let’s not overcomplicate it.

If you can design high-voltage cable systems properly - and lead others to do the same - this will interest you.

We’re hiring a Principal HV Cable Design Engineer to take technical ownership across major grid and renewable infrastructure projects.

Not a back-room checker.

A leader.

The Role

You are the technical authority on HV cable design.

  • Lead design of 33kV-400kV cable systems
  • Develop routing, thermal calculations, bonding designs and jointing philosophies
  • Oversee cable ratings and ampacity studies
  • Review and sign off detailed engineering outputs
  • Interface with civils, substation, and protection teams
  • Provide technical guidance to junior and senior engineers

You’ll influence design standards, not just follow them.

The Work

Major energy infrastructure.

  • Grid reinforcement
  • Renewable energy connections
  • Onshore HV export cable systems
  • Large-scale substation interfaces

These are nationally significant projects. High scrutiny. High standards.

What We’re Looking For

You’ve already earned your stripes.

  • Proven experience in HV cable design (132kV+ preferred)
  • Deep understanding of cable systems (XLPE, bonding, sheath calculations)
  • Strong knowledge of UK utility standards
  • Experience leading design reviews
  • Commercial awareness - you understand buildability and cost impact

You don’t guess.

You calculate.

You lead.

What You Get

  • Senior technical ownership
  • Influence across multiple major projects
  • Competitive salary & package
  • Hybrid flexibility
  • Clear path to engineering leadership

This isn’t a stepping stone role.

It’s a platform.

Why This Role Matters

The UK grid is expanding fast.

Cable infrastructure is at the centre of it.

If you want to design systems that move gigawatts - not kilowatts - and lead at principal level, this is your move.

Confidential discussions available.

If this is of interest, please forward an updated CV as soon as possible.
