We’re hiring – Specialist Connections Engineer

We are looking for two network engineers to join us as the fifth and sixth Connectologists®.

Connectologists are Roadnight Taylor’s extraordinary grid connections specialists. Their combined expertise and influence is focussed on toppling the most stubborn connections barriers, both to enable our clients’ mission-critical projects, and to clear a path for those that follow. They provide game-changing, independent advice to the best clients across industry, government and energy – and leadership to the connections community as a whole.

The key purpose of the role is to support us in enabling our clients to find and acquire the best network solutions and the right development projects. With your fellow Connectologists®, you will deliver outcomes to our clients that they can value in the tens and hundreds of £millions.
