Electrical Design Engineer - Protection & Control
Working on HV projects already, but not getting full exposure from design through to commissioning? This role gives you the chance to work across high-voltage infrastructure projects from early-stage design through to testing and energisation. You’ll be part of a team delivering protection and control systems on HV and EHV projects across power and renewables, with real involvement in how designs translate into site delivery. What you’ll get out of this
- Exposure to full project lifecycle, not just isolated design work
- Involvement in technically complex HV projects (11kV to 400kV)
- The chance to work closely with construction and commissioning teams
- A clear path to develop into a senior or lead role
- A stable pipeline of work across multiple projects
- Developing protection schemes, philosophies, and coordination studies
- Producing SLDs, schematics, and wiring diagrams
- Defining interlocking and tripping logic
- Selecting protection relays and IEDs based on project requirements
- Carrying out fault studies and protection grading
- Supporting design through to construction, testing, and commissioning
- Have experience in protection and control design for HV or MV systems
- Understand substation environments (roughly 11kV–400kV)
- Have used tools like ETAP, DIgSILENT, or similar
- Are comfortable producing and reviewing technical drawings and documentation
- Want more exposure beyond design, into delivery and commissioning
- Experience with SCADA or automation systems
- Familiarity with IEC 61850 or similar communication protocols
- Based in Bellshill with travel across Scotland as needed
- Long-term pipeline of projects (not a short-term hire)
- Support for development and progression as you grow in the role
