Director – Protection & Control UK-Wide (Flexible) | 20+ Years' Experience | Executive Leadership
The Opportunity
We are partnering with a globally recognised engineering consultancy to appoint a Director of Protection & Control — the most senior P&C hire in their UK and Continental Europe operation. This is an executive-level role with full strategic ownership of a discipline that sits at the heart of the energy transition, spanning high-voltage AIS and GIS substations, transmission assets, HVDC interconnectors, and energy storage systems.
If you're a recognised authority in P&C engineering who is ready to define the direction of a major capability — not just deliver within it — this is the role.

The Package & Culture
Our client offers an executive-level package commensurate with the seniority of the role, including private medical cover, enhanced parental leave, and comprehensive professional development support. Flexible and hybrid working is fully supported across a range of UK office locations.
This is a rare opportunity to shape a discipline, not just manage it — within a business that genuinely values technical leadership at the highest level.
