Our vision for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
We recognise that diversity & inclusion are catalysts for success. We're heightening awareness on the benefits of people diversity, diversity of experiences and diversity of our perspectives. Creating a culture of inclusivity where all employees feel a sense of belonging. Our combined energy is fuelled by different nationalities, across 6 continents and 24 countries. Our commitment is to celebrate character - no matter what ethnic background, gender, age, religion, identity, or disability.
The Opportunity
As the Principal Electrical Engineer you'll lead electrical engineering design, collaborate across disciplines and deliver innovative solutions that exceed client expectations. From contributing to estimates and proposals to ensuring high-quality, on-budget and on-schedule deliverables, you'll play a key part in maintaining Kent's reputation for excellence. If you're passionate about innovation, leadership, and making an impact, Kent is the place for you!
About you:
The ideal candidate will hold a degree in Electrical Engineering with experience in onshore or offshore oil and gas projects. Expertise in conceptual studies, FEED, detailed design and low/medium-voltage systems (Switchboards, Generators, Transformers, UPS, VSDs) is essential. Strong skills in power system modelling, hazardous area classification and international standards (IEEE, IEC, BS) are required. We're looking for a safety-focused leader with excellent communication skills, capable of mentoring others and working independently. Desirable qualifications include Chartered status, postgraduate degrees, and certifications like EEHA or HAC.
Benefits:
We foster an environment where you are challenged professionally and empowered to take the lead on your career development with the support and guidance of our leaders. We're committed to making sure that every single person uses their time with us to gain valuable experience and skills for their future, so why not pursue your career with us today!
