Join OSL Consulting Engineers: Innovating the Future of Energy Engineering

At OSL Consulting Engineers, we’re not just changing the way energy is delivered—we’re redefining it. As the consulting division of nexos, the UK's most digitally advanced and fully integrated EPC provider, we’re at the forefront of transforming next-gen energy into operational reality. Through innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving, we unlock efficiencies and create solutions that turn complex challenges into success.

We believe different thinking leads to better results, which is why we continually push the boundaries of traditional Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) methods. Our approach breaks the mould and helps us deliver game-changing solutions to our customers, driving both operational and commercial success.

At OSL, we celebrate the fact that it’s our people who make us great. As we continue to grow, we are always on the lookout for new talent to join our progressive and inspiring environment. With a focus on flexibility, empowerment, and career development, OSL is a place where bold thinking is not only encouraged, but celebrated.

About the Role:

Are you an experienced Electrical Designer with a passion for innovative energy solutions? We are looking for someone to join our Electrical Department on a permanent basis. Based in our Hessle office, you’ll be part of a multi-disciplined engineering team, reporting directly to our Lead Electrical Engineer and taking on exciting projects in an evolving and dynamic sector.

As an Electrical Designer, you will play a vital role in producing a variety of electrical deliverables, ensuring that each project meets the highest standards and exceeds client expectations. You'll collaborate closely with our clients, contractors, and installation teams, making sure that every detail of the electrical design is meticulously executed.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading Design & Documentation – Prepare high-quality electrical engineering documents, including AutoCAD drawings, electrical calculations, technical reports, and risk assessments, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
• Collaborating Across Disciplines – Coordinate with other engineering disciplines to ensure inter-discipline compatibility, driving project success.
• Client Engagement – Liaise directly with clients and contractors, both on-site and off-site, to ensure electrical design work is perfectly aligned with project requirements and client needs.
• Workload & Time Management – Plan your tasks effectively, ensuring deliverables are met on time, within budget, and in line with HSEQ systems.
• Site Surveys – Conduct site surveys, both independently and with client supervision, to gather critical data for the project design.
• Continuous Improvement – Actively seek out ways to improve both your own work processes and the company’s systems, sharing your insights with the wider team.
• Professional Development – Stay ahead of the curve by keeping up to date with technical advancements, design standards, and legislative changes relevant to the electrical engineering field.

What We’re Looking For:

We are seeking an innovative and self-motivated Electrical Designer with a strong track record in the Oil & Gas, petrochemical, or chemical sectors. If you possess the following skills and experience, we’d love to hear from you:

• Qualifications:
• HND/HNC in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
• CompEx EX12 certification is desirable.
• Membership to a recognized professional body (e.g., Institute of Engineering & Technology), or plans to join.
• Preparedness to gain certifications like Vantage Card, BOSIET, and MIST for offshore work.
• Experience:
• 3+ years of experience in Electrical Design within Oil & Gas, petrochemical, or chemical industries, ideally across all stages of a project (Concept, FEED, Detailed Design).
• Deep knowledge of BS7671: Latest Edition and ATEX compliance standards (BS EN 60079).
• Familiarity with solar PV, renewable energy, and battery storage systems design.
• Experience using tools like Trimble (Amtech) and AutoCAD for design calculations and drafting.
• Skills:
• Strong working knowledge of electrical cabling and equipment.
• Ability to estimate time for tasks and manage workload effectively.
• Excellent communication skills—both written and verbal.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to manage design changes and understand their impact on cost and timeline.
• Self-motivated, able to work independently and as part of a team.

Why Join Us?

At OSL, you’ll be part of a company that’s leading the charge in innovative energy solutions. We foster a culture of collaboration, creativity, and continuous learning, where your input is valued and your career can thrive. With flexible working arrangements, a commitment to personal development, and the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge projects, this is more than just a job—it’s a career path filled with opportunities to grow and make a real difference.
