Electrical design, thermal engineering or commissioning: we look for the freelance energy engineer who knows your discipline and your project stage. You choose, they work with your team.
01Electrical design and grid connection interfaces
02Thermal engineering and energy use
03Installation coordination and commissioning
01
Electrical design and grid connection interfaces
Develop or update electrical installation studies using the equipment requirements, site data and external interfaces. Agree the technical choices and required approvals with the project team.
The profiles you might meet
Electrical design engineer
Power systems engineer
Electrical project manager
Deliverables to scope together
Electrical load assessment and sizing assumptions
Electrical drawings and interface documentation
Data and approvals required for grid connection
02
Thermal engineering and energy use
Assess heating, cooling and utility needs — the services a building or industrial process requires. Use available consumption data and operating conditions to develop technical options for the project decision-makers.
The profiles you might meet
Thermal engineer
Industrial utilities engineer
Energy efficiency project manager
Deliverables to scope together
Assessment of requirements and consumption by end use
Comparison of technical options and their assumptions
Metering plan and data to collect
03
Installation coordination and commissioning
Coordinate design studies, suppliers, construction and operations for an energy installation. The expert tracks technical interfaces, prepares test sequences and organises the resolution of open issues before handover to the site teams.
The profiles you might meet
Energy project manager
Technical coordinator
Commissioning engineer
Deliverables to scope together
Equipment and work package interface matrix
Test programme and acceptance criteria
Operations handover package
At which stage of your project do we step in?
01
Before the project
Studies are under way: we find the outside expert who validates your options.
02
During the project
Work started: your agent tracks the milestones and adjusts the brief with you.
03
After the project
Installation delivered: we organise the handover and, if needed, the permanent hire.
Before we talk
What should we know about your installation?
Describe the equipment, available technical data and work already underway. Explain what must remain operational and the suppliers involved.
Which installation and energy uses are involved: electricity distribution, heat generation, utilities or a combination of systems?
Is support needed for design studies, grid connection interfaces, construction or testing, and which technical approvals are required?
Which operational constraints, shutdown windows and consumption data must be taken into account from the start?
Do you practise one of these roles?
Energy project manager
Electrical design engineer
Thermal and energy engineer
Project technical coordination manager
Energy systems commissioning engineer
We look for these profiles for our clients on a regular basis. Tell us about your achievements and the projects you have led: a talent agent calls you back to understand what you are looking for.
Frequently asked
Energy: your questions
Does an energy engineer cover every discipline?
The title covers several specialisms. Electrical design, thermal engineering and commissioning require different experience. Specify the main discipline and the interface skills you need to keep the search focused.
Can work start with incomplete consumption data?
Yes. Explain what is available and what still needs measuring. The engineer can begin by identifying missing data and proposing a measurement plan.
Who approves sizing decisions?
The brief identifies the project’s technical approvers and required documents. The professional may produce or coordinate studies, depending on the agreed remit.
When is automation expertise needed?
If a project affects installation sequences, process control or supervisory control, define the industrial automation scope. Allocate responsibilities across energy, instrumentation and control systems.
How do you plan work at an operating site?
Specify access periods, possible shutdowns, operations contacts and constraints from simultaneous activities. Inspection preparation and the work schedule must reflect these conditions.
