Engineering Manager I

Your role and responsibilities
ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 110,000 people. To the shipping industry, ABB offers an extensive portfolio of integrated marine systems and solutions that improve the flexibility, reliability and energy efficiency of vessels. By coupling power, automation and advisory, proven fuel-efficient technologies and services that ensure maximum vessel uptime, ABB is in a unique position to improve the profitability of customers' business throughout the entire lifecycle of a fleet. Marine & Ports is driving the transition towards a sustainable future. To successfully be the partner our costumers chose to work with, we need to ensure sustainability both in our solutions and in our organization from a business perspective. Our customers increasingly seek solutions that provide greater efficiency, safety and reliability and prepare vessels for operations of today and tomorrow. This makes the transition even more exciting, as this also drives us to constantly challenge our technology, solutions, and the way we operate. We are now looking for engineers to help us build the future of Marine technology. ABB Marine & Ports Electrical Solutions team is looking for a Senior Project Engineer specialized within power production and distribution. Electrical Solutions team supports several departments within ABB Marine & Ports. This position will primarily, however not exclusively, be supporting our Modernization department. Modernization is responsible for upgrades and retrofit projects for vessels with ABB deliveries. Tasks are primarily engineering and follow-up of deliveries in projects of various size and complexity. Daily tasks involve coordination with customers (shipyard and/or ship owner), class societies, ABB factories and other sub suppliers. Coordination with ABB service and commissioning engineers who performs the commissioning work is also a vital part of the position. Senior project engineers in ABB Marine are responsible for the technical leadership and engineering within the power scope of a project, hence the ability to combine practical and theoretical knowledge is a key success factor. A self-driven personality with the know-how to maintain and handle ownership of technical challenges, including the ability to cooperate with suppliers, customers, class society and colleagues is important. You will also get the opportunity to travel to customers, suppliers, and shipyards. This position will from time to time also allow you to execute parts of the commissioning yourself if you have the sufficient experience and wish to attend. However, it is not a requirement for the position to attend commissioning.

Qualifications for the role

• You have at least 5 years’ experience with design of electrical power systems.
• Since this position will primarily support our Modernization department, hands on experience from installation work onboard vessels would be an advantage, however not an absolute requirement.
• We are primarily looking for candidates with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, however we will consider ship electricians if you have relevant practical experience from commissioning in addition to engineering experience.
• We are primarily looking for a candidate who has experience with switchboards, programming of protection relays, power system dynamics and power generation.
• You need to be able to combine practical and theoretical knowledge. You need to be fluent in English, both spoken and written.
• Cultural awareness and respect is a must since ABB Marine & Ports is a workplace with colleagues and customers from different nationalities and with different cultural background.
