• manage the design, manufacturing and testing as well as quality assurance of cables and accessories

• manage changes in scope, schedule and costs and negotiate with internal stakeholders and contractors on how to proceed. 

Furthermore, you’ll manage interfaces with internal and external stakeholders. 

Your competences include that you 

• have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or similar 
• have experience within high-voltage cables and accessories  
• preferably have experience leading a team of engineers within a project organisation 
• are a good communicator and speak and write English fluently

Furthermore, you thrive in an international environment, can create good relationships with your stakeholders and have a structured, service-minded and flexible approach to your tasks. You’re independent and a strong initiator with the ability to solve challenging issues within a complex matrix organisation.
