“Are you ready to lead with purpose, drive engineering excellence, and shape the future of the grid?”
We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Associate Director to join our growing Transmission & Distribution (T&D) team at AECOM in the UK. This is a pivotal leadership role, supporting the strategic growth and technical delivery of our HV/EHV cable systems capability across the UK and international energy markets.
You will lead multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex cable system projects, drive client engagement, and contribute to the development of future-ready energy infrastructure. Working with a diverse client base—including Transmission System Operators, Distribution Network Operators, private developers, and global energy clients—you will manage high-value HVAC and HVDC cable projects across the full lifecycle, both onshore and offshore.
This is an opportunity to play a central role in the energy transition and help shape the grid of the future through world-class engineering and innovation.
Here’s what you will do:
Leading the delivery of cable system design and consultancy services across the project lifecycle—from feasibility and concept through to detailed design, procurement, and commissioning.
Acting as technical lead and client interface for major cable system packages, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery aligned to client expectations and industry standards.
Developing and reviewing HVAC and HVDC cable designs, including routing studies, thermal and electromagnetic analysis, burial risk assessments, and cable protection strategies.
Supporting complex installation planning, including cable pulling, jointing arrangements, short-circuit and cleating calculations, especially in subsea, tunnel, and congested urban environments.
Coordinating multidisciplinary input (civil, structural, substation, marine, OHL) to ensure robust and integrated solutions.
Providing technical governance and assurance, including alignment with IEC, CIGRÉ, and National Grid Transmission Procedures (NGTPs).
Supporting FAT/SAT, cable manufacturing inspections, and installation verification.
Leading and mentoring a team of engineers, promoting technical development and supporting performance management and growth.
Contributing to business development through proposal writing, client presentations, and building long-term relationships with strategic partners.
Influencing innovation, digital delivery, and best practices across the cables discipline.
