Rotating Plant/Generation Engineer

Rotating Plant/Generation Engineer

Key responsibilities for the role include:

• Support the delivery of rotating plant projects across the full project lifecycle, from project definition, tender evaluation and design development through to construction, commissioning and final handover.
• Provide technical leadership and oversight for rotating plant engineering activities, ensuring compliance with business standards, statutory requirements, and industry best practice.
• Manage engineering safety within assigned projects through the application of CDM principles, hazard identification, and risk management processes.
• Prepare responses to technical and tender queries and support the management of non-conformances, defects, and technical risks throughout project delivery.
• Review and assess rotating plant technology submissions, including prequalification, type testing, and associated technical documentation to support approval processes.
• Liaise with Technical Authorities and project stakeholders to develop Technical Authority schedules, support governance activities, and progress technical deviations where required.
• Collaborate with internal teams, consultants, contractors, and suppliers through design reviews, project meetings, and technical assurance activities.
• Provide site-based support as required, including installation and commissioning activities, factory inspections, manufacturing witness points, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT).
• Review and verify project close-out documentation, including as-built records, commissioning documentation, operation and maintenance manuals, and health and safety file deliverables.
• Act as the rotating plant engineering lead on assigned projects or across a regional portfolio, typically supporting projects with capital values ranging from £50m to £200m.
• Work closely with Engineering Managers and Project Managers to identify, manage, and mitigate engineering, quality, and delivery risks.
• Provide specialist technical support on strategically important projects and complex rotating plant engineering challenges.

• Significant engineering experience in rotating plant systems, including the specification, design, integration, testing, commissioning, and operational support of large-scale power infrastructure. Experience with synchronous compensators is highly desirable.

• Strong technical judgement and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate complex engineering issues and present clear, concise recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience delivering engineering activities across the project lifecycle, including design development, procurement support, construction, commissioning, and project close-out.
• An understanding of engineering governance, technical assurance, and risk management processes applicable to high-voltage transmission projects.
• Knowledge of relevant legislation, standards, and industry best practice, including an appreciation and awareness of CDM Regulations.
• Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and client organisations.
• The ability to prioritise workload, work independently, and manage multiple technical interfaces within complex infrastructure projects.
• A degree, master's degree, or equivalent experience in an appropriate engineering discipline.
• The following experience would be considered advantageous but is not essential:
• Manufacturing (OEM) or operational experience
• Pathfinder projects or other power system stability and network support schemes.
• Experience of multidisciplinary design coordination and interface management.
