This is a rare opportunity to take centre stage as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for all electrical engineering aspects of a major power plant.

  • Leading the planning and execution of electrical projects, particularly during planned outage periods to maximise efficiency and safety.
  • Providing expert guidance and hands-on support to the maintenance team for complex troubleshooting and reactive repairs.
  • Developing and implementing engineering strategies to enhance plant reliability, safety, and performance.
  • Pursuing and achieving Senior Authorised Person (SAP) status through a structured, company-sponsored training programme.

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

  • A recognised qualification in Electrical Engineering (e.g., Degree, HNC, or HND).
  • Proven experience as an Electrical Engineer within the power generation, utilities, or a similar heavy industrial sector (e.g., petrochemical, marine, or manufacturing).
  • Demonstrable hands-on experience with high-voltage equipment, such as transformers, switchgear, HV motors, and/or large generators.
  • A strong commitment to safety principles and engineering best practices.
  • The ability to relocate to or commute to the Plymouth area on a daily basis.

  • Career Progression: A clear and supported path to Senior Authorised Person (SAP) level, enhancing your professional standing.
