Ideally Scotland (flexible for the right person)
£70,000 – £80,000 + Car Allowance + 5% Pension + 25 Days + Bank Holidays

This is a Technical role, not just sat behind a desk drawing schematics. We’re looking for someone who can design, build, and then go out and make it work on site.

You’ll need to come from the generator / power generation world. If you don’t have that, this won’t land.

The Role

End-to-end responsibility for control systems across complex power projects:

* Design full electrical schematics, wiring diagrams & GA layouts (AutoCAD Electrical / EPLAN)

* Program and configure ComAp (InteliGen / InteliSys) and Deep Sea (DSE 7000 / 8000) controllers

* Deliver load sharing, synchronisation and export control systems

* Ensure full compliance with G99 / G100 and DNO requirements

* Carry out technical site surveys and define integration points

* Support and guide panel build teams to ensure designs are delivered correctly

* Get involved in commissioning when required

What We’re Looking For

* Proven experience in power generation / standby power / energy systems (essential)

* Strong hands-on knowledge of ComAp and DSE control platforms

* Experience with PLC logic & comms protocols (Modbus, CANbus, SNMP)

* Ability to design 3-phase systems and LV control circuits

* Solid understanding of G99 / G100 and grid compliance

* Comfortable working both in the office and on-site

Qualifications

* HNC/HND or Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering

* 18th Edition (desirable)

* Full UK Driving Licence

The Opportunity

* Work on high-spec, technically complex power projects

* Be part of a business pushing into advanced energy and grid solutions

* Real ownership - design it, see it built, see it working
