Location: Sheffield 

Salary: £60,000 + Bonus

Working Pattern: Hybrid

We're working with an established electrical infrastructure business specialising in the design, construction & commissioning of HV electrical connections across the UK.

With continued growth across the power distribution, renewable energy & grid infrastructure markets, they're looking to appoint a Civil Design Engineer to support the delivery of substation & electrical infrastructure projects up to 132kV.

This is an opportunity to join an expanding engineering team, taking ownership of civil design packages across a range of technically challenging projects, from initial design through to construction.

Working alongside electrical design, protection & control, and project delivery teams, you'll be responsible for developing civil & structural designs that support HV infrastructure projects.

Responsibilities include:

• Producing civil engineering designs, layouts & CAD drawings for HV substations, including AIS/GIS installations.

• Designing foundations for transformers, switchgear, gantries & associated electrical equipment.

• Developing cable trench, ducting, drainage, access road & site infrastructure designs.

• Preparing structural calculations, technical specifications & construction documentation.

• Reviewing geotechnical reports & incorporating findings into foundation designs.

• Coordinating with electrical engineers to ensure civil designs align with wider project requirements.

• Supporting construction teams with technical queries, design reviews & site inspections.

• Ensuring designs comply with relevant DNO standards, CDM regulations & industry requirements.

• Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.

• Minimum 3 years' experience within civil design, ideally across substations, utilities or power infrastructure.

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D or relevant structural design software.

• Understanding of foundation design, structural calculations & geotechnical engineering.

• Experience producing technical drawings & civil design packages.

• Familiarity with DNO/TNO standards & multidisciplinary engineering projects.

Previous experience designing HV substations, particularly across 11kV–132kV infrastructure, would be highly advantageous.

An opportunity to join a growing business operating within one of the UK's most active infrastructure markets, with involvement across a varied portfolio of grid connection & power distribution projects.

You'll work closely with experienced engineering teams, with opportunities to develop your technical expertise & take greater ownership of project design delivery.
