The Plant, Protection and Control Engineer plays a vital role within the design team. You will be responsible for the design delivery of substation plant, equipment, and protection systems across a whole range of electrical infrastructures as well as new connection projects in both the distribution and transmission sectors. You will be responsible for the detailed design and procurement of substation plant including, switchgear, power transformers, voltage control equipment, protection systems, protective relays, connectors, busbars, SCADA based telemetry, as well as all the associated substation build activities throughout the lifecycle of the project. Your primary role is to ensure substation infrastructure is correctly identified and procured, in a timely manner. You will achieve this ensuring the detailed preparation and delivery of functional specifications, equipment schedules and associated scheme drawings. You'll provide ongoing technical support and advice on procurement of plant and equipment, by liaising directly with suppliers and manufacturers, to order plant and equipment, as per client specification and approved designs. Here are some of the activities you will get involved with Responsible for assessing client project requirements and producing detailed plant and equipment and protection specifications. Creating appropriate system designs ensuring compliance with applicable specifications and tender documentation, coordination with manufactures and suppliers. Assist with tendering activities and provide regular technical guidance for any proposed schemes, as may be required. Prepare site layouts and schematics, for multi-staged substations construction build projects. Manage external plant and equipment manufacturers, design consultants, and oversee designs outputs to ensure compatibility with the electro-technical requirements. Liaise with internal and external design team, clients, manufacturers, and consultancies to produce accurate designs within timescales indicated and in line with deliverables. Produce detailed electrical control and protection schematic drawings for construction of large electrical infrastructure schemes. Produce electro-technical drawings, plant and material procurement lists, and wiring diagrams for control for protection and control systems. Preparation of functional specifications and providing advice on procurement of plant and equipment and liaising with manufacturers to order plants as per client specification. Be able to produce detailed specifications for high voltage plant, equipment and ancillary plant and equipment associated with high voltage substations. Review equipment manufacturers' proposals and liaise with equipment manufacturers to ensure equipment suitability is in line with the proposed design. Production of equipment schedules in line with relevant IEC, DNO, ENA, IDNO and client-based specifications. Development and review of single line diagrams, P&C block diagrams, & connection diagrams. Production of AC and DC schematic drawings, control and protection, cable block diagrams, SCADA and multicore cable and termination schedules. Relay setting calculations for 11kV, 33kV, 132kV and above 132kV voltage levels including Transmission Lines, Transformers, Busbars, Bus-couplers and Bus-Sections etc. IED/Numerical Protection Relay LEDs, Binary Input, Binary Output and PSL/CFC configurations for Siemens Siprotec-5/Reyrolle, GE Micom and ABB etc. make manufacturers. 110VDC Battery Loading Calculations. CT/VT sizing calculations and adequacy check. To maintain an electro-technical and commercial dialogue with suppliers and customer. Take responsibility for ensuring good technical documentation management and change control. We would love to hear from you if you can demonstrate A proficient understanding of electricity industry & regulatory standards, policies, and their application to the role. A good understanding of electrical plant, transformer, protection, relays and control and construction disciplines and current ENA, BS and IEC electrotechnical engineering standards, to ensure full application and compliance requirements can be achieved. A strong electrical knowledge within the contestable and non-contestable connections sides of the market and should be able to demonstrate a proven track record working within projects such as substation construction, cabling, overhead lines, while being fully conversant with working on switchgear, protection, control and major designs of electrical plant including transformers. Good knowledge of power systems, renewable energy and protection design at all voltages. Ability to take a brief scope of works and assist in producing a detailed design based on appropriate standards. Be able to prepare single-line diagrams for multi staged substations construction projects. A relevant degree or equivalent experience.
