Summary
Mark Maclellan is a Senior Design Engineer specializing in transmission substation main plant design, with eight years' experience delivering greenfield and brownfield projects across 33 kV to 400 kV for SP Energy Networks. He combines hands-on electrical installation roots and field supervision—having worked as an electrician and overseas electrical supervisor—with an MEng (Distinction) from the University of Strathclyde, giving him practical insight into constructability and standards compliance. Comfortable in both design and site environments, he progressed from graduate trainee to lead main plant engineer, shaping major projects within the UK grid. He also scripts in Python and C++, bringing automation and computational thinking to design tasks that benefit from repeatable analysis and tooling. Notably, his background as a self-employed electrician and contractor means he places a premium on clear client communication, punctual delivery and pragmatic, safety-focused solutions.
