The power it generates will be transmitted 85 kilometres to a new substation at Cockenzie, in East Lothian from where it will enter the national transmission system. Inch Cape is a more than £3 billion infrastructure project that will make a significant contribution to the UK’s carbon emissions reduction targets. Once complete its 72 turbines will generate enough electricity to power almost half the homes in Scotland.\nSummary of Assignment:\nThe High Voltage Electrical Engineer is accountable for the technical integrity, safe operation, maintenance strategy, and performance optimisation of the windfarm’s HV electrical systems during the operational phase. This includes the offshore and onshore electrical balance of plant as applicable to the assets, such as wind turbine HV interfaces, array systems, offshore substation, export system interfaces, protection and control systems, switchgear, transformers, SCADA-linked electrical alarms, and associated safety documentation.\nThe post holder will ensure that HV assets are operated and maintained in a manner that is safe, compliant, available and commercially optimised, supporting turbine availability, export reliability, and long-term asset value.\nThe role sits within the operational asset organisation and acts as a key technical authority for electrical systems during the O&M phase. There will be a strong emphasis on:\nHV operational safety and switching governance\nFault diagnosis and technical response\nMaintenance of switchgear, protection, transformers, and auxiliary systems\nManagement of electrical asset integrity and risk\nSupport for outages, campaigns, and offshore interventions, and\nCapability to work within or progress toward Authorised Person / Senior Authorised Person frameworks\nLocation: Montrose, (3 days a week in the office, 2 days WFH)\nResponsibilities\nHV Asset Integrity and Technical Assurance\nAct as the asset’s lead or delegated engineer for the integrity and reliability of HV electrical equipment during operations\nMaintain engineering oversight of HV systems including switchgear, transformers, cables, protection relays, earthing systems, metering, control systems, and electrical interfaces between turbines, array network, offshore substation, and onshore connection assets where within operational remit\nDevelop, review, and improve preventative and condition-based maintenance strategies for HV assets\nReview inspection, test, alarm, and defect data and determine corrective actions, risk ranking, and repair priorities\nLead or support root-cause analysis for trips, failures, insulation issues, protection mal-operation, recurring alarms, and loss of generation events\nSupport life-cycle planning, obsolescence management, spares strategy, and end of life decision making consistent with asset management good practise, including ISO 55001-2024 principles\nHV Operations, Safe Systems of Work, and Switching Governance\nEnsure that all HV work is planned and executed in compliance with site Electrical Safety Rules, permit to work arrangements, isolation standards, and control of hazardous energy requirements\nPrepare, review or approve switching programmes, isolation plans, sanctions for test arrangements, earthing arrangements, and return to service documentation, in accordance with authorisation level\nProvide technical oversight to Authorised Persons, Senior Authorised Persons, technicians, OEMs, and contractors undertaking HV work\nSupport development and periodic review of Electrical Safety Rules, operational procedures, contingency plans, and emergency response arrangements.\nPromote a robust safety culture with clear emphasis on competence, safe isolation, and work on dead equipment expect where justified and controlled under applicable rules. HSE guidance continues to emphasise competence, safe systems of work, precautions on dead equipment, and proper maintenance of electrical equipment as fundamental requirements\nFault Response and Operational Support\nProvide technical leadership during electrical faults, turbine trips, array issues, offshore substation alarms, and export related events\nSupport incident response assessments to minimise downtime while maintaining safety and compliance\nInterface with the control room, marine coordination, OEMs, grid stakeholders, and contractor teams during planned and unplanned interventions\nSupport major campaigns, including annual outages, HV inspections, statutory examinations where relevant protection testing, cable diagnostics, and retrofit activities\nProtection, Control, SCADA, and System Performance\nReview and optimise protection settings philosophy within approved governance arrangements\nSupport testing, analysis, and verification of protection, control, interlocking, metering, and communications systems associated with HV operation\nWork with SCADA and control-system specialists to investigate alarms, electrical events, disturbances, and under performance\nAnalyse trends in trips, faults, transient events, insulation condition, and availability losses to improve reliability and reduce recurring failure modes\nProvide input into cyber-aware operational practices for electrical control interfaces where applicable under company policy and industry requirements\nContractor and Stakeholder Management\nManage specialist electrical contractors, OEMs, framework partners, and inspection/testing providers\nReview RAMS, technical work packs, outage plans, and contractor deliverables\nEnsure high-quality engineering records, defect closure, lessons learned, and audit readiness\nSupport interface management with transmission, distribution, and other grid-connected stakeholders where operational boundaries require coordination\nProvide concise reporting for senior management, lenders, insurers, Board committees, and shareholders on electrical risk, reliability, and mitigation plans\nContinuous Improvement and Governance\nDrive improvements in electrical reliability, maintainability, spare parts resilience, and maintenance efficiency\nSupport audits, certification interfaces, insurer recommendations, and compliance reviews\nBenchmark electrical performance and maintenance philosophy against prevailing offshore wind market\nSkills:\nStrong Safety leadership and judgement.\nTechnical depth in HV operations and maintenance.\nStructured problem solving and root cause analysis.\nClear written and verbal communication for board to field audiences.\nPlanning and coordination under outage and fault conditions.\nCommercial awareness and risk-based decision making.\nAbility to influence contractors, OEMs, and internal stakeholders.\nKnowledge:\nOffshore wind experience in O&M phase.\nSAP/AP Authorisation or demonstrable capability to achieve authorisation under windfarm HV Safety Rules.\nExperience with offshore substations, array cables, export cables, turbine electrical systems, and SCADA linked operational diagnostics.\nKnowledge of asset management systems aligned to ISO 55001.\nFamiliarity with DNV / IEC / OEM electrical standards and assurance practices.\nQualifications:\nDegree, HND, or equivalent higher qualification in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, or a closely related discipline.\nStrong technical grounding in HV systems, protection, control, switching, and power system fault behaviour.\nDemonstrable experience in offshore wind, utilities, conventional generation, marine energy, or comparable HV operating environments.\nIf you wish to make a big impact in renewables and being involved in this innovative project do not hesitate to apply.\nMore roles will be advertised soon, so feel free to reach out and share!\nWebsite:\nVacancies - come and work with us! - Offshore Wind Farm | Inch Cape Wind\nAny questions please reach out to Oscar Martos HR team at Inch Cape offshore wind\nThink you are an ideal candidate?
