Lead and grow the centralized IP Integration Digital team; define strategy and requirements; oversee transistor-level design, characterization, Verilog modeling, Cadence-based simulation and layout; collaborate with product, foundry, and quality teams to deliver qualified digital and I/O IP on schedule.

Design and verify custom CMOS analog blocks like amplifiers and oscillators. Lead projects, mentor juniors, and ensure high-quality documentation and performance.

Lead and deliver complex consulting engagements translating strategy into executable operating models, organisation design, governance, and performance improvements. Manage senior stakeholders, design methodologies, facilitate workshops, produce executive-ready recommendations and roadmaps, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage scope/risk/commercials, drive business development, and coach consultants to embed scalable ways of working.

Plan and design district electrical distribution networks, perform system analysis for connections and reinforcements, produce costed designs, drive continual improvement, apply innovative solutions, manage stakeholder/customer relationships, ensure safety and regulatory compliance, and use SPEN project/financial systems and Microsoft tools to support delivery.

Lead substation primary design for HV/EHV projects (11kV–400kV) across transmission, distribution and renewables. Liaise with clients and multidisciplinary teams, produce design deliverables, specifications, feasibility studies and cost estimates, ensure compliance with National Grid/DNO and British/IEC standards, manage safety/CDM, support bids and project delivery to budget, time and quality.

Design engineer focused on urban highways, active travel and public realm projects. Responsible for highway and sustainable travel design, mentoring junior staff, managing outsourced Global Excellence Centre work, and supporting tenders, proposals and client presentations while liaising with local authorities and developers.

Audit the existing app to extract reusable patterns, build a componentised Figma system (tokens, variants, states), document usage and accessibility, deliver a published library, handover guide and team walkthrough, and align system with developers for maintainable adoption.

Lead and manage the Design Department, overseeing personnel, resource planning, workflow, quality assurance, customer support, and technical development. Monitor metrics, optimize processes, mentor designers and managers, coordinate cross-functionally, oversee design software and documentation, and perform design work as needed to meet production schedules and customer commitments.

Build production-quality, pixel-accurate UI components and interactions in React Native; prototype in Figma with designers; own the design system and component library; improve performance, animations, and cross-platform UI architecture; define design-to-dev tooling and collaborate across design and engineering.

The Creative Designer will design functional and visually appealing web product screens, work from brand guides, and maintain creative thinking while adapting across projects.

The Principal Design Engineer will shape AI-powered product experiences, lead design discussions, collaborate with teams, and mentor designers while advancing the design system.

Lead design and delivery of HV/EHV substations (11kV–400kV) for transmission, distribution and renewables. Client liaison, produce primary substation design deliverables, coordinate multidiscipline teams, apply National Grid/DNO/IEC standards, prepare equipment specifications, manage H&S and CDM design duties, support bids and project delivery to budget, time and quality.

The EMEA Design Manager will oversee design delivery for data center projects, manage multidisciplinary teams, ensure compliance with standards, and report on project metrics.
