Full time, permanent

Salary £60,000 - £70,000

Closing date: 27 November

About the role:

Want to put your engineering skills to work across hydro sites and remote assets? As an EC&I Engineer at Drax, you’ll help solve complex plant challenges and deliver control-system improvements, taking projects from initial requirements through to commissioning and handover.

You’ll split your time between home, our Glasgow office and our nine other sites located from Loch Awe to Dumfries and Galloways, travelling to wherever your expertise is needed. It’s a role that combines technical project work with on-site engineering support.

Whether you’ve recently completed a graduate scheme or already have experience in a similar role, this is an opportunity to broaden your engineering experience.

In this role, you’ll:

• Support the Hydro Principal C&I Engineer and Group Engineering Manager in delivering capital projects & major overhauls.

• Support the design and implementation of inspection and monitoring plans for long term asset integrity of all Electrical Plant, Control Systems, Instruments & associated systems.

• Support the Electrical Maintenance Engineer for the routine Inspection and Maintenance of all systems to ensure that plant meets all statutory and legislative requirements and remains efficient and reliable to maximise opportunities for commercial running.

• Support the business strategic drivers by delivering Goals and KPI’s for all relevant budgetary, plant performance, operational compliance, and people management targets.

Experience in or wanting to focus on control and automation would be an advantage, which would see you:

• Lead and support PLC, SCADA/HMI and associated software changes, from requirements and design to configuration, testing, commissioning, documentation and handover.

• Develop and deliver control-system capital projects and major modifications across all sites, including lifecycle programmes and obsolete-system replacement.

• Provide specialist PLC, SCADA/HMI and operational control-system support to Operations, Maintenance, Engineering and Projects teams across our hydro sites and remote assets.

• Develop, review and maintain plant control documentation: control philosophies, functional design specifications, control narratives, cause-and-effect documentation, sequences, interlocks, permissives, alarms and automatic control schemes.

Who we’re looking for:

You’ll bring a degree in Electrical Engineering or EC&I, alongside relevant engineering industry experience. You may already be a Chartered Engineer or working towards chartership — and we can support you on that journey.

A NEBOSH or IOSH certificate is preferred but isn’t essential.

You’ll need a full UK driving licence to travel between sites and fulfil the field-based aspects of the role.
