What You’ll Do

As an Earthing Consultant, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring the safety and reliability of high voltage electrical infrastructure. You will be responsible for supporting earthing system studies and delivering high-quality technical solutions. Working alongside senior consultants, you will develop and conduct earthing design studies and perform on site surveys of electrical installations, to ensure compliance with UK standards and Client policies.

In this role, you’ll gain the opportunity to develop your skills and work towards independently delivering earthing system studies and surveys. This role will also allow you to expand your skillset through the execution of lightning protection and impressed voltage studies. Your work will directly contribute to the success of client projects while supporting technical delivery and solving complex issues in the power systems sector. There’s lots of opportunity to progress your career in a supportive and skilled team.
