What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Do background research on the UK electricity industry so that you go into the interview/assessment centre with some idea of what UK Power Networks actually does.
Most of the assessment is on general competency, but it's a good idea to brush up on electrical theory, particularly pertaining to transformers, electrical protection, and so forth.
It's also a good idea to read up on innovation and current developments in the electrical industry (e.g. embedded/distributed generation, flexible plug-and-play, Low Carbon London, electric cars etc).
Do you have any interview tips?
I was asked what happens to current when you have a short circuit on an electrical network.
I was asked what factors effect the amount of current you can run through an underground cable.
Others were asked what causes the voltage phase angle to change when it goes through a transformer.
