What can you expect?

Your role

As a High-Voltage Engineer, you design and deliver secondary systems for high-voltage substations in the Netherlands. You work on control systems, protection systems, cable connections, and technical documentation that are crucial to a reliable electricity grid.

You contribute to projects for clients such as TenneT, Qirion, and Enexis—from modernizing existing substations to fully engineering new substations within voltage levels ranging from 10 kV to 150 kV. You are involved from basic design through to the as-built phase, including calculations, connection overviews, and direct coordination with the client.

You work in multidisciplinary teams with short lines of communication and are given significant freedom to optimize technical solutions and independently substantiate your decisions.

What will you be doing?

Your responsibilities include, among others:

• Designing and engineering secondary installations for high-voltage substations (control, protection, and automation);

• Preparing schematics, cable calculations, connection overviews, and technical documentation;

• Developing engineering packages from basic design through to the as-built phase;

• Implementing modifications in existing substations and working with legacy installations;

• Coordinating with clients on technical content, progress, and solutions;

• Collaborating with primary engineering, civil engineering, and project management;

• Reviewing designs against client specifications, NEN standards, and safety requirements;

• Developing tools or working methods to improve engineering efficiency and planning.
