The consultancy offers an endto-end service that includes project management, design coordination, optioneering, NERS consultancy and support, onsite delivery, and specialist recruitment. Trusted by the country’s leading DNOs and ICPs, Empowered Engineering is renowned for delivering projects with professionalism, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to building resilient networks. We took a closer look below, as Empowered Engineering is named in the Design and Build Awards 2026. Empowered Engineering serves different roles for different companies, and, over the years, this has become its biggest unique selling point. The consultancy aids some of the largest companies in the UK on their most complex projects, whether the complexity lies in project management, works sequencing, or in areas where governance requirements are beyond what the client typically deals with, such as public sector projects. At the same time, a team works with those looking to break into the industry and provides them full turnkey support to gain the necessary accreditations and fulfil mandatory requirements. As the National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) becomes increasingly essential across the sector, Empowered Engineering has seen growing interest in its turnkey support services. For companies who are starting from scratch and feel unsure of the process, the consultancy provides end-to-end guidance, handling everything from initial gap analysis and documentation through to full accreditation. For those already accredited, the team offers flexible support to expand into additional scopes, provides qualified Technical Assessors and Quality Supervisors for site works, and grants direct access to its established management systems. Beyond this, Empowered Engineering also operates a dedicated Recruitment and Agency branch. The consultancy recognises the critical role that skilled professionals play in the success of high voltage, extra high voltage, and renewable infrastructure projects. It specialises in recruiting skilled resources for the industries it serves, leveraging its extensive network and industry expertise to identify and attract the best talent for each client organisation. In this field, Empowered Engineering’s services include job description creation, candidate screening, interview assistance, and contract creation. Alongside its recruitment service, Empowered Engineering’s agency services help clients source skilled professionals for their high voltage and renewable infrastructure projects. The consultancy draws on its unrivalled expertise to matched skilled professionals with open positions, identifying the right talent for each project. It offers a range of flexible staffing options, from temporary to contract and permanent placements. Every placement is followed by ongoing support for both clients and candidates to ensure a seamless transition and foster successful working relationships. Empowered Engineering will be focused on building onto this service over the next five years. The consultancy aims to solve the technical delivery bottleneck that has been caused by the industry’s retiring wave of senior HV and EHV talent. To safeguard domain knowledge and maintain design integrity, Empowered Engineering is driving intensive internal training that pairs early-career engineers directly with seasoned SAPs and project managers on live high-voltage scopes. This provides new recruits with invaluable first-hand experience, whilst ensuring that they preserve traditional techniques. Concurrent to this hands-on mentorship, Empowered Engineering is currently building proprietary AI-reinforced engineering tools that digitise complex design optioneering, safety assessment workflows, and regulatory compliance checks. By embedding senior engineering logic directly into its digital site tools, Empowered Engineering will provide site teams with real-time technical validation, in turn lowering delivery risks and accelerating complex high voltage network connections. Alongside this AI initiative, Empowered Engineering is also working to solve common ICP operational friction by delivering bespoke software and streamlined business processes that simplify essential tasks for mandatory compliance. These custom digital tools automate complex workflows, from design approvals and site safety checks to asset handovers, eliminating administrative drag and human error. Such advancements promise to drastically cut project lead times while allowing engineers to remain focused on high voltage delivery. Since its establishment in 2019, Empowered Engineering has dedicated itself to maintaining and building resilient networks across the UK, whilst ensuring that every client is provided with the skill sets and support they need. The consultancy has cemented itself as a trusted partner to clients countrywide, earning national renown for always placing the client at the heart of the project. We at BUILD Magazine are proud to recognise Empowered Engineering as the Midlands’s Best High Voltage Infrastructure Engineering Consultancy 2026.
