Your Key Responsibilities:

• Design the HV, MV, and LV electrical systems of our PV and BESS plants, from the inverters to the grid connection point.
• Dimension the HV, MV, and LV AC cables, and their connections between electrical equipment and cooperate with the PV Design Team for the cable trench design.
• Provide technical expertise to the procurement team with technical specifications for electrical equipment and evaluate offers with regards to price, quality etc.
• In close cooperation with EPC Project Managers, manage external suppliers, contractors, and consultants for electrical substation design, construction, and commissioning:
  • Prepare technical specifications with detailed scope definitions for procurement and ensure the substation design complies with grid connection agreements and project specific local requirements.
  • Lead technical negotiations for grid connection and electrical equipment related procurement such as high-voltage switchgears and transformers.
  • Ensure suppliers comply with the technical aspects of their contract and the project timeline during the contract period.
• Provide expert knowledge for the optimization of our park designs and coordinate the design work with other colleagues from the Engineering Department (PV Designers, Instrumentation & Control Engineers), as well as with EPC Project Managers.
• Manage external consultants during the detailed design phase of our PV and BESS plants, when it is chosen to outsource design packages.
• Assist the Commissioning Team onsite with technical expertise when needed for cold and hot commissioning of electrical equipment.

About You:

• Minimum of 3 years of relevant professional experience with electrical power systems.
• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical or Power System Engineering or similar.
• Expertise with electrical substations for transmission and distribution systems and/or grid connection of renewable energy projects such as PV, BESS, or wind power plants.
• Sound understanding of grid code requirements and main electrical components such as high-voltage switchgears and transformers.
• Experience with technical project management and interfacing with various stakeholders while maintaining focus on quality and the timeline.
• Fully proficient in English.
• Open to new ideas and ways of working, but also with a belief in your own thoughts and ideas.
• Pragmatic in decision making – you will be working with flexible deadlines and requirements for sudden adaptions to improve business cases as we are developing our own projects.
