We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.\nWe've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.\nWe're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.\nThe Electrical Engineering Lead owns all electrical engineering for Fuse’s EPC function, from design through testing, commissioning and energisation, across all of our infrastructure projects (Solar PV, BESS, Wind, Gas-Peak and Data Centres). You are the technical authority for HV and MV systems and lead the team that designs, builds, tests and energises them. You also hold one of the NERS authorisations that let Fuse carry out contestable grid connection works as an Independent Connections Provider (ICP), so every system we deliver is safe, compliant and accepted by the DNO.\nResponsibilities\nElectrical Leadership, Design to Energisation\nLead all electrical engineering for the EPC function, from early design through construction, commissioning and energisation\nAct as the HV/MV subject matter expert across all infrastructure projects, covering substations, grid connections, transformers, switchgear, protection systems and cable networks\nSet electrical design standards and make sure they are applied consistently across the portfolio\nReview and approve electrical designs from internal engineers, design partners and consultants\nProvide technical challenge to drive safe, compliant and cost-effective solutions\nTeam Leadership\nLead, develop and manage Electrical Design Engineers, Electrical Engineers, SAPs and Commissioning Engineers\nAllocate resource across projects and make sure the right people are on the right stage of delivery\nBuild the competence of the team against NERS and DNO requirements\nRaise the standard of design, safety and delivery across the function\nNERS and ICP Compliance\nFulfil your NERS role within Fuse’s accreditation, in line with the NERS requirements\nMake sure all works stay within Fuse’s accredited scope\nSupport NERS and DNO audits and close out findings\nMaintain the technical records and evidence that accreditation relies on\nWork with the other NERS role holders so the framework is covered end to end\nGrid Connection and Standards\nLead technical review of grid connection agreements and compliance requirements\nEnsure adherence to the UK Grid Code, DNO and TSO requirements, G99/G100 and relevant standards\nOversee and validate grid studies: fault level, load flow, protection coordination and harmonic analysis\nAct as the technical interface with DNOs, TSOs and third-party ICPs\nConstruction, Testing and Commissioning\nLead HV and MV installation oversight, testing, commissioning and energisation\nWitness and sign off key testing: substations, protection systems and grid connection works\nLead energisation planning and execution\nTroubleshoot electrical issues during construction and early operation\nEnsure as-built systems comply with approved designs and grid requirements\nDelivery and Stakeholders\nRespond to RFIs, TQs and design clarifications, and align design, procurement and construction\nSupport handover to Asset Management\nSupport technical due diligence and lender advisor requirements\nWork closely with Development, Construction and Asset Management teams\nAct as escalation point for complex electrical technical issues\nRequirements\n8 to 10+ years in HV/MV electrical engineering within power, utilities, distribution or renewable energy\nA current NERS authorisation as Authorising Officer, Technical Advisor or Qualified Supervisor\nExperience leading and developing engineers, SAPs and commissioning teams\n· Chartered status (CEng, MIET), an HV Senior Authorised Person background\n· Exposure to wind, gas-peaking or data centre electrical systems, DNO or IDNO experience.\nDeep experience of substations, protection systems, cable networks and grid connection design\nStrong knowledge of UK grid standards and processes: DNO/TSO, Grid Code, G99/G100\nExperience reviewing grid studies (load flow, fault level, protection coordination, power quality)\nHands-on HV commissioning, testing and energisation experience\nAbility to challenge EPC and consultant designs with evidence\nStrong command of electrical safety regulations and compliance frameworks\nExperience on utility-scale Solar PV, BESS or grid infrastructure projects\nBenefits\nCompetitive salary and eligibility for equity\nBiannual bonus scheme\nFully expensed tech to match your needs\nPrivate health insurance\nBreakfast and
