  • Led technical discussions between National Grid, clients, internal design teams, and suppliers, ensuring accurate and efficient design execution.
  • Performed High voltage cable modelling, simulation considering real-world installation conditions, including thermal and installation constraints, to determine optimal cable size and type.
  • Performed LV electrical design in accordance with BS 7671 wiring regulations, including circuit design and schematics, MCB sizing, selectivity and protection coordination studies, power flow analysis, and identification and resolution of design non-compliances using Trimble ProDesign.
  • Involved in end-to-end BESS project delivery, from concept and detailed electrical design, covering HV/LV systems, transformers, to undertaking DC battery and charger sizing for substation auxiliary supplies, ensuring adequate back up supply for critical protection, control, monitoring, and SCADA systems under normal and contingency conditions in compliance with IEEE 485 standards.
  • Compile and submit detailed design documentation, including PGMD and G100 submissions to DNO.
  • Led coordination with Coordinate power system studies (load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, and harmonics) with specialist consultants, ensuring compliance with Grid Code, G99/G100, and DNO requirements, identified non-compliances, and drove the implementation of corrective solutions.
  • Oversaw technical queries, supplier quotation reviews, and documentation approval processes supporting contestable and private works delivery.
  • Collaborate with the procurement team to ensure the selection and purchase of equipment in line with approved design specifications and technical requirements.
  • Support construction-phase design issues, incorporating lessons learned into the design process through regular feedback to the design team, and actively participate in weekly design and construction coordination meetings.
  • Ensure all design and engineering activities are aligned with the project Programme of Works, meeting quality, safety, and schedule requirements.
