High Voltage & Grid Connections Recruitment
Envo Talent provides high voltage and grid connection recruitment for employers delivering power infrastructure. We support permanent and contract hiring for grid connection managers, substation design engineers, protection and control engineers, commissioning engineers and project leaders across transmission, distribution and private networks.
Recruitment for your project
A useful HV recruitment brief goes beyond a voltage label. It identifies the asset, project stage, network interface and responsibilities of the appointment. An ICP delivering a new connection may need different experience from a transmission contractor, an IDNO or a renewable energy developer. We discuss those distinctions before defining the search.
Roles we recruit
- HV Design Engineer
- Substation Design Engineer
- Protection & Control Engineer
- Grid Connection Manager
- HV Project Manager
- Commissioning Engineer
- Senior Authorised Person (SAP)
- Cable Systems Engineer
Questions employers ask
Do you recruit for ICPs and grid connection projects?
Envo Talent supports recruitment requirements involving Independent Connection Providers (ICPs), network interfaces and grid connection delivery. Tell us whether you need design, estimating, project management, commissioning or technical leadership experience, and which parts of the connection process the hire will own.
Can you help recruit people with 33kV or 132kV experience?
Discuss the specific voltage, asset type and responsibilities with Envo Talent. Relevant experience may involve substation design, protection, project delivery or commissioning. Voltage experience alone does not establish suitability: project requirements, competency and any required authorisations must also be considered.
Does high voltage recruitment only cover transmission?
No. High voltage recruitment can cover distribution, transmission and private networks. The label depends on the network and location: 132kV is included in distribution in England, while Scotland uses 132kV as a transmission voltage. The recruitment brief should describe the actual network and work involved.
Do you recruit permanent staff and project contractors?
Envo Talent supports permanent and contract hiring for power and grid connection requirements. Share the project stage, location, expected duration and essential technical experience so we can discuss an appropriate search.
What information helps you start a search?
Share the role, project type, location, salary or contract budget, essential experience and expected start date. Include any site access, authorisation or qualification requirements. Envo Talent can help refine the brief if the job description is still being developed.
