About the Role
As a Substation Facilities Engineer, you will join the Electrical Components Team and provide specialist engineering expertise to help progress offshore wind projects through development, construction and operation. You will contribute to safe, robust and effective offshore substation designs, focusing on facilities, auxiliary and low-voltage systems, while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, consultants, contractors and suppliers. The role includes national and international travel, including work at contractor and project locations as required.

Your responsibilities will include providing technical expertise for offshore substation facilities, auxiliary systems and low-voltage systems throughout the asset lifecycle. You will develop robust designs covering building fabric, drainage, cable and pipework systems, fire detection and protection, HVAC, small power and lighting, batteries and UPS systems. You will prepare technical specifications and documentation, manage technical queries and verify compliance by consultants, contractors and suppliers.

Supporting tendering, contracting, procurement and project management activities for offshore substation components and systems will be key, along with coordinating and monitoring mechanical and electrical works at fabrication and construction sites. You will maintain a strong focus on safety through design and asset performance, manage technical interfaces with other project packages including offshore and onshore substations, cables, foundations and SCADA systems, and lead supplier and product prequalification activities, factory audits and root cause analyses following component failures.

You will apply and further develop relevant standards, regulations, processes and best practices while providing clear project reporting.

Experience
A university degree or equivalent qualification in an engineering discipline. Several years of relevant professional experience as an offshore substation specialist. Strong expertise in the design, fabrication and testing of offshore substation facilities, ideally gained with a manufacturer or offshore wind farm developer. Relevant project experience, particularly in preparing technical specifications and supporting technical and commercial negotiations.

About you
A practical, safety-focused approach with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering disciplines, package teams, contractors and suppliers. Fluent written and spoken English. Strong communication, coordination and leadership skills combined with a proactive and resourceful approach. Willingness to travel nationally and internationally. Membership of a recognised professional body, experience in an international business and a valid driving licence are advantageous.
