Are you an experienced SAP or AP with a background working on DNO electrical infrastructure?
Do you hold current or previous authorisations relevant to HV switching and safety-critical operations?

Day To Day
You'll support the safe delivery of HV works across a growing UK project portfolio.
You'll undertake and control HV switching, isolations and earthing, prepare switching schedules and manage the appropriate electrical safety documentation.
You'll work closely with engineers, technicians, contractors and customers to make sure HV activities are planned and carried out safely and correctly.
Depending on your level of authorisation, you'll act as SAP or AP across projects and provide the operational competence required for work on HV networks.
This is a mobile role and projects can be located throughout the UK, so you'll need to be comfortable travelling and staying away when projects require it. A Northern base would be advantageous, but we'd rather find the right person than restrict the search geographically. INDWIN
