Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy - fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $170M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co-Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more. We're creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and hydrogen projects to real-time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass on savings to customers. But we're not stopping there. We're also building the Energy Network: a decentralised platform of smart devices that rewards users in Energy Dollars for electrifying their homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours, and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability - a critical foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries. Responsibilities Plan, execute, and oversee HV switching schedules, including isolation, earthing, and safety from the system in compliance with Distribution Safety Rules. Issue Permits to Work, Sanctions for Test, Limitations of Access, and other safety documentation. Supervise and mentor junior staff, conduct competency assessments, and support team development. Perform and witness pre-commissioning testing, inspection, and commissioning of HV/LV equipment (up to 132kV), including switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers, busbars, CT metering, and associated control systems. Liaise with DNO/IDNO engineers for final connections, energisation, substation handovers, and self-connect activities. Coordinate with contractors and ICPs during construction, installation, and handover phases to ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and project specifications. Manage fault location, diagnostics, repair, and response activities. Develop method statements, risk assessments, and safety procedures (including LOTO). Audit assets under construction, report non-conformances, and ensure networks are safe, compliant, and efficient for adoption and ongoing operation. Attend client meetings, resolve operational issues, and represent the company in industry forums as needed. Qualifications Current or recent Senior Authorised Person (SAP) authorisation for HV operations (up to at least 33kV, preferably including 132kV) HNC, Degree, or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, with strong theoretical and practical knowledge of 1-phase and 3-phase LV/HV systems. Minimum of 5 years' experience in HV/LV electrical operations, commissioning, substation construction, network maintenance, or similar roles within the utility sector. In-depth knowledge of HV/LV distribution networks, apparatus, cables, protection systems, SCADA, and relevant industry standards Experience with electrical testing (e.g., IR, continuity, pressure, VLF, Ductor), fault detection techniques, and outage planning. Recognised Health & Safety qualification (e.g., SSSTS, IOSH, or equivalent). Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks, HSE legislation, and Distribution Safety Rules.
