Role - Electrical Power Systems Engineer

Location - Birmingham / Nottingham

Salary - Up to 40k

I am working with an established UK-wide Engineering consultancy. They are seeking a motivated Power Systems Engineer to join a specialist team working across complex, high-profile projects. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the early stage of their career to learn directly from experienced senior engineers who are committed to mentoring and developing the next generation.

About the role
You'll play an active part in projects from concept through to delivery - covering everything from early design and modelling, to site involvement and client liaison. The team works across major sectors including:

• NHS hospitals and healthcare facilities

• Pharmaceutical sites

• Universities

• Large-scale real estate developments requiring significant grid connections

What you'll need

They're interested in candidates who are:

• Degree-qualified in Power Systems (or similar), with a strong grasp of the fundamentals

• Or from a contractor background with hands-on understanding of electrical infrastructure and systems

• Curious, clever, and eager to learn - with a genuine interest in developing technical and practical expertise

• Comfortable getting involved on site as well as behind the desk

Why this role?
This is not a pure desk-based design role. You'll gain exposure to the full project lifecycle, working on diverse and technically challenging schemes, while learning from industry experts. It's a fantastic chance to build a career in a supportive team that takes pride in its work and invests in its people.

Feel free to contact Danny Brookes at Calibre Search if you'd like more information.

Calibre Search promote equality in the workplace and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified candidates regardless of their sex, race, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age. We act as both an employment agency and employment business.

In this role, you'll lead the development of customer decarbonisation and load forecasts, guiding how we plan, invest in, and prepare the electricity network for the transition to net zero. With more rapid decarbonisation and a shift toward a more strategic approach to network development, you will provide strategic direction and drive the transformation of forecast data into an increasingly critical tool for shaping future network operations and planning.

You'll work closely with regional teams to incorporate local intelligence and share forecasting insights with external stakeholders, ensuring the approach remains firmly rooted in the needs of the region. A key objective will be to develop tailored information to support engineering colleagues, ensuring the network is ready for the growing role of electricity in decarbonisation across the Northeast, Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire.

If you're passionate about using data and advanced modelling to drive smarter, greener grid investment, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Salary around £85,000 , benefits include:

• Enrolment into a double-matched pension scheme

• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (rising with service) 

• Excellent opportunities for career growth

• Agile working arrangements

• Lead annual forecasting, working with team members and consultants to prepare Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) and load analysis, identifying future network constraints.

• Provide essential inputs for business plans, price control updates, and regulatory submissions, using data-driven techniques and the National Energy System Operator's Regional Strategic Energy Plans.

• Ensure accurate reporting of forecasts with strong attention to detail and effective application of data.

• Act as a subject matter expert, offering technical direction to engineers delivering regulatory reports and supporting DSO commitments.

• Thrive in a complex, fast-paced environment, adapting quickly to new information and evolving requirements.

• Lead and improve regional forecasts, using data and stakeholder input to anticipate future network needs.

• Analyse network capacity at all voltage levels and oversee System Forecasting engineers.

• Shape the long-term forecasting strategy, developing new models, tools, and automated analysis methods.

• Publish and share customer needs, load forecasts, and network insights to improve stakeholder access and experience.

• Represent the organisation in industry forums and lead stakeholder engagement events.

• Act as a role model and mentor, supporting team development while bringing strong planning, organisation, and technical curiosity.

• Level 5/6 STEM qualification (or Level 4 with 3+ years’ relevant experience).

• Industry experience with energy transition, decarbonisation policies, and distribution networks.

• Knowledge of statutory, regulatory, and industry standards.

• Strong analytical, forecasting, and modelling skills, including risk and sensitivity analysis.

• Proficient in data handling, software models, and IT tools.

• Excellent collaboration, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
