Are you an Electrical Commissioning Engineer looking to work on one of the UK's most significant and technically complex engineering projects?
This is a rare opportunity to join a major nuclear commissioning programme, playing a key role in bringing critical electrical systems into operation on a flagship power generation project. You'll be working alongside some of the industry's leading engineering professionals, gaining exposure to large-scale commissioning activities in a highly regulated environment.
If you thrive in a technical, hands-on role and want to be part of a project that will shape the UK's energy future, this could be the ideal next step.
Why Apply?
Few engineering projects offer the scale, complexity, and long-term career value of nuclear commissioning.
You'll be involved in the testing, validation, and handover of critical electrical systems across a major infrastructure programme, developing expertise that is highly sought-after throughout the energy, nuclear, and industrial sectors.
Working within a collaborative commissioning team, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of commissioning activities while supporting the safe and successful delivery of a nationally important project.
What You'll Be Doing
As an Electrical Commissioning Engineer, you'll support the delivery of commissioning activities across a variety of electrical systems, helping to ensure they are safely tested, validated, and prepared for operation.
Your responsibilities will include:
Developing commissioning documentation, test procedures, and validation plans
Planning and executing commissioning activities for electrical systems
Carrying out commissioning tests in accordance with approved procedures
Reviewing and supporting electrical system designs to ensure efficient commissioning and operability
Liaising with project managers, designers, contractors, and commissioning teams
Supervising contractor commissioning personnel during testing and commissioning activities
Analysing, verifying, and validating commissioning results
Producing technical reports and commissioning records
Supporting project milestones and commissioning programme delivery
Ensuring compliance with nuclear, industrial, environmental, and safety regulations
Completing commissioning documentation, test records, and system handover certificates
Identifying and resolving technical issues during commissioning activities
Technical Exposure
Engineers will typically specialise in one of the following areas but will have opportunities to work across multiple disciplines throughout the project:
High Voltage (HV)
Low Voltage (LV)
DC Systems
Generator Systems
You'll gain experience working across a wide range of electrical systems including:
400kV systems
10kV systems
690VAC systems
400VAC systems
220VDC systems
Control and instrumentation voltages
What You'll Bring
HNC, HND, or equivalent qualification in a relevant engineering discipline
Strong experience carrying out commissioning, maintenance, testing, operational activities, or fault finding within electrical systems
Previous experience working in high-hazard or industrial environments
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
Desirable Experience
The following would be advantageous:
Degree qualification in Electrical Engineering
Previous experience within nuclear or highly regulated industries
Experience with commissioning and system validation activities
Knowledge of electrical system testing and operational readiness programmes
What's In It For You?
Opportunity to work on one of the UK's largest infrastructure projects
Exposure to complex electrical systems and world-class commissioning practices
Long-term contract potential within a growing sector
Valuable nuclear industry experience
Collaborative and highly skilled project teams
Excellent career development and future opportunities within the energy sector
The chance to play a key role in delivering a nationally significant project
