Cable engineers in Transmission and Distribution are responsible for designing and developing efficient power transmission systems. They work on projects like electrical substation design, HVDC interconnectors, and offshore grids. Their tasks include designing cable layouts, performing sizing calculations, and coordinating with various disciplines to ensure that designs meet technical specifications and international standards.

At Orion, we connect talented cable engineers with leading companies in the T&D sector. Whether you’re a client looking to build your team or a candidate seeking your next career opportunity, our team of recruitment experts will ensure you find the perfect match. We support both businesses and professionals in navigating the complex demands of the transmission and distribution industry.

The Distribution System Operator (DSO) looks at ways to maximise capacity in the network whilst forecasting demand to create investment that meets the needs of electric customers. Their main roles are to identify solutions to system constraints through technical optioneering, including quantifying DSO service requirements and identifying solutions to system deficiencies, including quantifying and pricing DSO service requirements that can be met by third-party flexibility. 

Orion is here to help both clients and candidates in the energy sector. We match experienced DSOs with companies seeking to optimise their networks while also guiding professionals looking to advance their careers in distribution system operations. Our expertise in energy recruitment ensures the right fit for your needs.

Transmission and distribution electrical engineering jobs are the mainstay of the sector. Electrical Engineers plan and oversee the construction of electrical substations, switchyards, and transmission lines. These engineers develop protection and control systems, create detailed electrical designs, and ensure compliance with industry standards. 

Orion works closely with both clients and candidates in the T&D sector. We help companies find the right electrical engineers to design and build reliable, efficient power systems. For candidates, we offer opportunities to work with industry leaders on projects that shape the future of energy transmission and distribution.

Overhead Line Engineers (OHL Engineers) are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining overhead transmission lines. Their tasks include producing technical documents, selecting materials, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards, and conducting feasibility studies for new lines or projects. OHL Engineers play a key role in maintaining and expanding electrical grid infrastructure. They are often skilled in specialized software like PLS-CADD for modelling and analysis, ensuring that designs meet safety and regulatory standards.

At Orion, we connect companies with experienced OHL Engineers who are vital to keeping the grid infrastructure reliable and efficient. For candidates, we offer career opportunities with leading energy companies, ensuring your expertise in overhead line engineering is put to good use in impactful projects.

Overhead Line Maintenance Engineers ensure the safety and reliability of overhead electrical lines. They perform maintenance, fault finding, and repair work, often in challenging environments, such as working at heights and during adverse weather conditions. Their expertise ensures the continued operation of power transmission systems.

Orion supports both clients and candidates in the overhead line maintenance field. For clients, we provide experienced engineers to ensure the continued reliability of your transmission lines. For candidates, we offer roles with companies that value your skills in maintaining and repairing critical power infrastructure.

Senior project managers in T&D are responsible for overseeing large-scale infrastructure projects, such as overhead lines, cabling, or substations. They lead teams, manage risks, and ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and in line with safety and regulatory standards. Senior PMs are integral to delivering power transmission and distribution projects successfully.

For clients, Orion offers the expertise to find experienced Senior Project Managers who can lead high-impact projects, ensuring timely and safe delivery. For candidates, we offer the opportunity to work with leading companies in T&D, providing access to rewarding projects where your project management skills will be put to the test.
