Project Engineer, Energy Preconstruction

We are seeking a technically minded Project Engineer to support the development and delivery of energy infrastructure projects from early concept through to construction readiness. This role will suit an engineer with experience in preconstruction, project development, design coordination or a related engineering environment, who is keen to contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable energy system.

You will work closely with internal teams, consultants, contractors, landowners and statutory stakeholders to assess project feasibility, develop robust technical solutions and ensure proposals are deliverable, compliant and commercially viable. The role involves balancing engineering requirements with programme, cost, risk and environmental considerations.

Key responsibilities

  • Coordinate engineering inputs during feasibility, concept and detailed preconstruction phases.
  • Review technical studies, surveys, drawings, specifications and design submissions.
  • Support the development of project scopes, cost estimates, programmes and risk registers.
  • Manage interfaces between civil, electrical, mechanical, environmental and commercial workstreams.
  • Assist with procurement activities, including tender documentation, technical evaluations and contractor engagement.
  • Identify design, construction and consenting risks, proposing practical mitigation measures.
  • Monitor deliverables from external consultants and ensure work meets agreed technical and quality standards.
  • Prepare clear technical reports, presentations and progress updates for project stakeholders.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes, standards and lessons learned.

About you

You will hold a relevant engineering qualification and ideally have experience in energy, utilities, infrastructure, construction or another technically complex sector. Experience working on renewable energy, grid, battery storage, power generation or large-scale development projects would be advantageous.

You should be confident interpreting technical information, coordinating multiple contributors and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong organisational skills, commercial awareness and a proactive approach to problem-solving are essential. Familiarity with relevant UK standards, planning or permitting processes, health and safety requirements, and common design or project management tools would be beneficial.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping high-quality energy projects while developing your technical, commercial and project delivery expertise.
