As a member of the Substation Electrical Power & Utility Design team, you will be working with electrical and mechanical installations on our onshore and offshore substation projects, where you will be exposed to the full value chain of disciplines and technical solutions ranging from project development to supporting design and development from start to finish.

Your primary work tasks will include assessment of designs submitted by design consultants or fabrication contractors for crane and hoist systems, piping, pumps and valves, fire extinguishing systems and passive fire protection as well as HVAC systems.

Furthermore, your key duties will be to:

• deliver input to our mechanical technical requirements for engineering, fabrication and construction contractors
• deliver input to the selection of equipment within the substation scope, ensuring that third-party certification can be achieved
• participate in tender reviews, clarification meetings, ordering of equipment etc. as a technical specialist
• provide technical direction for design contractors, follow up on questions during design and fabrication and participate in FAT and SAT tests
• participate in interdisciplinary design reviews, HAZID, HAZOP, lay-out reviews etc.

Your profile
You preferably have a marine engineering degree and deep insight into mechanical systems, including crane and hoist systems. You have at least 8 years of work experience, preferably in the offshore industry, and you are fully familiar with industry design standards. You furthermore have knowledge and understanding of the broader implications of technical work, e.g. operability, commissioning and handover when executing projects.

As we operate in an international environment, it is essential that you speak and write English fluently. It is also important that you set high standards for your work and are committed to meeting them, while striving to overcome any obstacles. Furthermore, you enjoy sharing your knowledge with your colleagues in the project group and in your department.

We offer
An exciting job where you have excellent opportunities to develop your competences when you help execute some of the largest construction projects within onshore and offshore wind power.

You will be part of a dynamic and technical department at the forefront of development in the entire field. Our solutions are of a high professional standard, and you will be able to spar with experienced colleagues in an informal environment. We focus on how to best create value for the company, and we are inspired by freedom with responsibility rather than by rules.
