Key responsibilities
Collaborate on the development of scopes, technical requirements, and early-stage design for major electrical equipment and engineering projects.
Manage supplier engagement, including sourcing, pricing, and reviewing technical information for equipment.
Create and maintain engineering registers and ensure equipment aligns with specifications.
Assist with tenders, project bids, and supporting the team with practical, on-site problem-solving as needed.
About you
Currently in your 2nd or 3rd year of a university Electrical Engineering degree.
A genuine interest in energy, renewables, and power systems, and you’re keen to learn more.
Able to commit to 3 days per week during semester, and ideally full‑time over university breaks.
