To provide technical leadership and expert-level design input for underground high-voltage (HV) and extra-high-voltage (EHV) cable systems across major infrastructure projects. The role combines deep engineering knowledge with strategic oversight of design practices, acting as a senior authority on cable system design, compliance, and innovation.
Job Responsibility:
Provide technical leadership and expert-level design input for underground high-voltage (HV) and extra-high-voltage (EHV) cable systems across major infrastructure projects
Act as a technical lead across HV/EHV cable system design activities, ensuring solutions are safe, robust, compliant, and cost-effective
Oversee complex cable design packages (33kV and above), ensuring technical excellence across concept, feasibility, and detailed design phases
Develop, own, and assist with maintaining internal design standards, methodologies, templates, and tools relevant to HV/EHV cable systems
Ensure all design deliverables meet industry standards, regulatory requirements, and company best practices
Perform and supervise detailed analyses including thermal, electrical, ampacity, and mechanical stress assessments using tools such as CYMCAP, ELEK, and AutoCAD
Lead technical peer reviews, quality checks, and design audits to maintain a high standard of engineering output
Support the development of junior engineers through guidance, feedback, and training in best practice design techniques
Promote new technologies, design methods, and continuous improvement within the cable design discipline
