Principal Electrical Engineer

I'm currently supporting a growing energy transition platform seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to provide technical leadership across a portfolio of renewable energy projects. This is an opportunity for an experienced engineer to move beyond a purely design-focused role and become a key decision-maker across project development, engineering assurance, grid integration and project execution. Key areas of focus include: Technical leadership across battery storage and distributed energy projects Engineering assurance and design review activities Grid connection strategy and engagement with DNOs and network stakeholders Supporting project delivery teams through construction, commissioning and energisation Managing technical interfaces with suppliers, OEMs, EPCs and consultants Identifying and mitigating technical risks across the project lifecycle Contributing to the evolution of engineering standards, processes and best practices The ideal profile will bring: A strong background in electrical engineering, power systems or energy infrastructure Experience delivering or supporting BESS projects Knowledge of UK grid connections, network operators and relevant regulations HV/LV expertise and a strong understanding of electrical design principles The confidence to operate independently and provide technical leadership across multiple stakeholders A practical, solutions-focused approach within fast-paced project environments This opportunity would suit somebody looking to step into a genuine technical leadership position where they can shape engineering strategy, influence business decisions and play a key role in the continued growth of an ambitious energy transition platform.
