• Develop cable-system design bases, route engineering inputs, installation arrangements, pulling/tension checks, joint-bay requirements and termination requirements.
  
• Design sheath bonding, cross-bonding, earthing and link-box arrangements and assess induced voltages, electromagnetic effects and losses.
  
• Specify HV power cables, joints, terminations, link boxes, fibre/monitoring provisions and associated accessories.
  
• Undertake or support load-flow, short-circuit, voltage, reactive-power, harmonic, insulation-coordination and earthing studies.
  
• Define engineering study assumptions, models, operating scenarios and acceptance criteria and clearly document results, limitations and recommendations.
  
• Coordinate cable interfaces with substations, overhead lines, civil works, protection, telecoms and construction teams.
  
• Review manufacturer calculations, drawings and technical data while supporting bid evaluation, installation, testing, commissioning and fault investigation.
  

Required Skills

1. HV/EHV Cable Engineering: Strong hands-on knowledge of HV cable systems, preferably XLPE systems at 132 kV and above.
   
2. Cable Rating: Practical application of IEC 60287 and IEC 60853 for steady-state, emergency and cyclic cable-rating calculations.
   
3. Bonding & Earthing: Strong understanding of sheath bonding, cross-bonding, earthing, induced sheath voltages and electromagnetic effects.
   
4. Cable Rating Software: Hands-on capability with CYMCAP or an equivalent recognized cable-rating package.
   
5. Power-System Analysis: Practical experience with ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSS/E or equivalent for load flow, fault-level, voltage/reactive-power and related studies.
   

Preferred Skills

• Transmission-voltage XLPE cable-system experience at 132 kV and above.
  
• Familiarity with relevant IEC, BS/EN and ENA engineering practices.
  
• Postgraduate specialization in power systems or high-voltage engineering.
  

Work Experience Requirements

Candidates must have 8–12 years of relevant professional experience in cable systems and/or power-system studies, with substantial hands-on responsibility and direct ownership of engineering deliverables. Experience should include high-voltage power, transmission, substations, utilities or directly comparable critical infrastructure. Candidates should demonstrate experience coordinating civil, route and substation interfaces and reviewing manufacturer engineering data.
