The posting

Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

The Electrical Engineering Lead owns all electrical engineering for Fuse’s EPC function, from design through testing, commissioning and energisation, across all of our infrastructure projects (Solar PV, BESS, Distribution Network, Wind, Gas-Peaker and Data Centres). You are the technical authority for HV and MV systems and lead the team that designs, builds, tests and energises them. You are also familiar with NERS, allowing Fuse to carry out contestable grid connection works as an Independent Connections Provider (ICP), so every system we deliver is safe, compliant and accepted by the DNO.

Responsibilities

Electrical Leadership, Design to Energisation

  • Lead all electrical engineering for the EPC function, from early design through construction, commissioning and energisation
  • Act as the HV/MV subject matter expert across all infrastructure projects, covering substations, grid connections, transformers, switchgear, protection systems and cable networks
  • Set electrical design standards and make sure they are applied consistently across the portfolio
  • Review and approve electrical designs from internal engineers, design partners and consultants
  • Provide technical challenge to drive safe, compliant and cost-effective solutions

Team Leadership

  • Lead, develop and manage Electrical Design Engineers, Electrical Engineers, SAPs and Commissioning Engineers
  • Allocate resource across projects and make sure the right people are on the right stage of delivery
  • Build the competence of the team against NERS and DNO requirements
  • Raise the standard of design, safety and delivery across the function

NERS and ICP Compliance

  • Align Fuse’s accreditation, in line with the NERS requirements
  • Make sure all works stay within Fuse’s accredited scope
  • Support NERS and DNO audits and close out findings
  • Oversee the maintenance of technical records and evidence that accreditation relies on
  • Work with the other NERS role holders so the framework is covered end to end

Grid Connection and Standards

  • Lead technical review of grid connection agreements and compliance requirements
  • Ensure adherence to the UK Grid Code, DNO and TSO requirements, G99/G100 and relevant standards
  • Oversee and validate grid studies: fault level, load flow, protection coordination and harmonic analysis
  • Act as the technical interface with DNOs, TSOs and third-party ICPs

Construction, Testing and Commissioning

  • Lead HV and MV installation oversight, testing, commissioning and energisation
  • Witness and sign off key testing: substations, protection systems and grid connection works
  • Lead energisation planning and execution
  • Troubleshoot electrical issues during construction and early operation
  • Ensure as-built systems comply with approved designs and grid requirements

Delivery and Stakeholders

  • Respond to RFIs, TQs and design clarifications, and align design, procurement and construction
  • Support handover to Asset Management
  • Support technical due diligence and lender advisor requirements
  • Work closely with Development, Construction and Asset Management teams
  • Act as escalation point for complex electrical technical issues

Requirements

  • 8 to 10+ years in HV/MV electrical engineering within power, utilities, distribution or renewable energy
  • A nice to have would be a current NERS authorisation as Authorising Officer, Technical Advisor or Qualified Supervisor
  • Experience leading and developing engineers, SAPs and commissioning teams
  • Chartered status (CEng, MIET), an HV Senior Authorised Person background
  • Experience in electrical systems, DNO or IDNO experience.
  • Deep experience of substations, protection systems, cable networks and grid connection design
  • Strong knowledge of UK grid standards and processes: DNO/TSO, Grid Code, G99/G100
  • Experience reviewing grid studies (load flow, fault level, protection coordination, power quality)
  • Hands-on HV commissioning, testing and energisation experience
  • Ability to challenge EPC and consultant designs with evidence
  • Strong command of electrical safety regulations and compliance frameworks
  • Experience on utility-scale Solar PV, BESS or grid infrastructure projects is a plus, but not required

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and eligibility for equity
  • Biannual bonus scheme
  • Fully expensed tech to match your needs
  • Private health insurance
  • Breakfast and dinner allowance for office-based employees

As we hire globally, benefits vary by location.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
