## Job description

### KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Technical Design Leadership — Lead all electrical engineering activities across the project pipeline, from origination and feasibility through to RtB handover. — Own single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical layouts, cable and earthing design, protection philosophy, and equipment specifications (BESS units, PCS/inverters, transformers, MV collector systems and HV substations). — Define and maintain electrical design standards, templates and review gates applicable across UK, EU, Australia and other target market requirements. — Review and approve electrical designs and technical documentation produced by development partners, external consultants, EPC contractors and equipment suppliers. — Perform and/or critically review power system studies — load flow, fault level/short circuit, protection coordination, harmonics and grid stability/compliance studies — produced internally or by specialist consultants.

Grid Connection & Technical Due Diligence — Lead grid connection strategy, applications and studies across each active market: DNO/NESO processes and G99/G100 compliance in the UK; national TSO/DSO codes (e.g. VDE-AR-N 4110/4120/4130 in Germany, REE/NTA/P.O. codes in Spain) across Europe; and NER, GPS and the R0/R1/R2 process with AEMO and NSPs in

Australia. — Lead technical due diligence on connection offers, connection agreements and grid studies during project acquisition — identifying technical, cost and timeline red flags before commitment. — Own structural grid risk screening (e.g. connection point/voltage level changes, curtailment, availability requirements, tariff impacts) and translate findings into clear project risk assessments for the investment committee. — Track evolving grid codes, connection processes and market rules across all active markets and flag implications for the live pipeline. — Act as the primary technical interface with network operators (DNOs, TSOs, DSOs, NSPs, AEMO) and specialist grid consultants.

Project Development Support — Provide electrical input to project acquisition and origination — site suitability, grid capacity, connection cost/timeline risk, and technology fit. — Develop electrical scope, budgets and program inputs to support project development milestones and investment decisions. — Support permitting and consenting processes with electrical design input as required by local authorities. — Contribute electrical technical content to land, planning and grid connection agreements.

Procurement & Contractor Management — Lead technical evaluation and develop technical specifications and Employer's Requirements, and lead technical bid evaluation and contractor selection for EPC and equipment procurement. — Review EPC and supplier agreements to identify and mitigate electrical and grid-related risk. — Manage relationships with external electrical consultants and specialist engineering firms across multiple countries. — Provide technical oversight into FAT/SAT, commissioning and performance testing planning ahead of handover to delivery teams.

Team & Governance — Build and mentor an internal electrical engineering function as the platform and pipeline grow, acting as the internal SME on electrical and grid matters. — Establish scalable engineering processes, document control and design review gates suitable for a multi-market development platform. — Represent electrical engineering in cross-functional project reviews with development, commercial, planning and finance teams.

### REQUIREMENTS

Experience — 8+ years' electrical engineering experience, with significant exposure to utility-scale renewable energy, BESS, or substation/grid infrastructure projects. — Demonstrated experience taking projects through grid connection processes in at least one of: UK, Europe, or Australia — multi-market experience strongly preferred. — Experience working on projects through to RtB / financial close, ideally within a developer, IPP, or engineering consultancy serving developers. — Track record leading electrical design packages and grid connection/due diligence workstreams for MV/HV connected assets. — Experience managing external consultants, contractors and multi-stakeholder technical relationships (network operators, OEMs, EPCs).

Technical & Market Knowledge — Strong working knowledge of BESS system architecture (PCS, DC/AC coupling, design evolution of containerized units, thermal management interfaces, evolving chemistries, etc.). — Solid HV/MV electrical design capability: SLDs, protection & control philosophy, cable/earthing design (11kV–132kV+), switchgear and transformer specification. — Working familiarity with relevant grid codes and connection frameworks: UK (G99/G100, ENA processes); Europe (national TSO/DSO codes such as Germany's VDE-AR-N 4110/4120/4130 or Spain's REE/NTA framework); Australia (NER, GPS, AEMO/NSP connection process). — Comfortable performing or critically reviewing power system studies (load flow, fault level, protection coordination, dynamic/stability studies). — Working knowledge of relevant design and modelling tools (e.g.

DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSS/E, PSCAD, ETAP, AutoCAD Electrical, Cymcap, Elek HV, CDEGS) — hands-on modelling not required but strong literacy expected. Qualifications — Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline. — Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, or working towards, strongly preferred. Other Attributes — Requirement to travel across UK, European and Australian project locations as needed. — Strong stakeholder management skills — comfortable working with network operators, EPC contractors, equipment OEMs, planning authorities and internal commercial/investment teams. — Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate technical detail for non-technical stakeholders (investors, planners, landowners). — Additional European language skills (e.g.

German, Spanish, Italian) advantageous given multi-market TSO/DSO engagement.
