The Company

This leading M&E contractor delivers complex data centre, pharmaceutical, industrial, and critical infrastructure projects across Ireland and Europe.

With a strong pipeline of major projects secured over the coming years, the company continues to expand its engineering division and is now seeking an MV Specialist Electrical Engineer to support the design, coordination, and delivery of medium voltage infrastructure across multiple projects.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for an engineer from a consulting engineering background to move into a project delivery environment while maintaining a strong technical focus on electrical design, power systems, and engineering excellence.

The Role: MV Specialist Electrical Engineer

The MV Specialist Electrical Engineer will play a key role in the design, review, coordination, and technical delivery of medium voltage and critical power infrastructure across major construction projects.

Working closely with project managers, construction teams, consultants, equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, and clients, you will ensure electrical systems are designed, coordinated, and delivered in line with project requirements, programme objectives, and industry standards.

This role would particularly suit an Electrical Design Engineer or Power Systems Engineer currently working within a consultancy who wants to become more involved in project delivery, construction support, commissioning, and technical decision-making on major live projects.

Must Have Requirements
  • Must have a Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Must have 4 years' experience within an electrical design or power systems engineering role.
  • Consultancy design experience is strongly preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of MV distribution systems, power systems analysis, and electrical infrastructure is required.
  • Experience using ETAP, DIgSILENT, PSCAD, Amtech, EPLAN, or similar software is required
Preferred Experience
  • Experience carrying out power system studies including load flow analysis, fault level studies, and protection coordination.
  • Data centre, pharmaceutical, industrial, or critical infrastructure project experience preferred.
  • Experience working directly with contractors, equipment vendors, and project delivery teams beneficial.
  • Knowledge of IEC, EN, ETCI, and BS7671 standards advantageous.
Nice to Have
  • Chartered Engineer status or working towards chartership.
  • Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam, or Adobe Pro.
  • Knowledge of renewable energy infrastructure and grid connections.
  • Experience supporting commissioning and energisation activities.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and review medium voltage electrical designs and technical specifications.
  • Carry out power system studies including load flow, fault level, protection coordination, and network analysis.
  • Support the design and delivery of MV infrastructure, substations, switchgear, and critical power systems.
  • Prepare technical reports, calculations, engineering documentation, and design submissions.
  • Review drawings and coordinate design activities with multidisciplinary project teams.
  • Liaise with clients, contractors, consultants, equipment manufacturers, and specialist suppliers.
  • Participate in design reviews, technical workshops, and project coordination meetings.
  • Support procurement activities through technical evaluations and equipment reviews.
  • Ensure compliance with project specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Provide technical support during construction, commissioning, testing, and handover phases.
  • Assist in resolving technical and design-related issues throughout project delivery.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and engineering best practice across the business.
About You

You are currently working within a consulting engineering environment or have previously worked in one and have developed strong technical design capabilities.

You are looking for an opportunity to move closer to project delivery while maintaining a strong engineering focus and developing broader exposure to construction, commissioning, and project execution.

You enjoy working directly with clients, contractors, consultants, and manufacturers and want to see your designs progress from concept through to commissioning and handover.
