- Develop designs to support detailed engineering, such as Land Utilisation Plan, Elevations, Above and Below * Grade Conduit layouts, Grounding layout & it's connection details, Lighting and Lightning protection with respective details, Bill of Materials, CDM, MEWP layouts and Design Calculations.
- Possess knowledge of Busbar sizing, Sag Tension, and Short Circuit (strung bus and equipment bus) force calculations.
- Facilitate coordination of design activities across various departments, including Civil/Structural, Networks, and Transmission Line. Conduct design reviews, participate in virtual meetings, and collaborate closely with clients.
- Coordinate with team members and monitor project schedules, ensuring submissions meet high-quality standards.
- Produce comprehensive electrical substation design packages that comply with the required client technical standards or IEC/IEEE/NGTS.
- Undertake consultancy role on FEED stage projects, including production of technical reports and presentations.
- Maintain compliance to CDM Regulations and all other legal and regulatory requirements associated with the nature of substation and electrical system design.
- Collaborate with WSP UK office on design activities.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members.
