• Experience with Trimble/Amtech
• Good knowledge of LV/HV electrical systems
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• The ability to work independently and manage priorities
• A full UK driving licence

Experience with Revit, Navisworks, SolidWorks, PLCs, protection systems, generator controllers or industrial communications protocols would be an advantage.
  
You’ll be working on projects that support the development of more efficient, flexible and lower-carbon energy systems, including battery storage and power generation.
