The Project Engineering Germany department provides technical expertise for the development, construction, and technically and economically optimal operation of our renewable parks in the areas of Resource Assessment, Site Suitability, Civil and Electrical Engineering.

Your Tasks

• As an Electrical Engineer, you will be supporting projects from development through construction and commissioning to handover to operations, with the following responsibilities:
• Responsible for a robust and optimised electrical design for (hybrid) onshore wind, PV, and battery storage projects connected to the medium-, high-, or extra-high-voltage grid
• Supporting in all aspects related to transmission, distribution, and grid feed-in
• Performing load flow and short-circuit calculations using PowerFactory
• Successfully implementing grid connection requests with grid operators for our renewable generation facilities and battery storage systems
• Collaborating and consulting with internal stakeholders such as Instrumentation & Control, Development, Construction, and Operations
• Preparing tender documents for substations, transfer stations, and cable laying, and supporting negotiations of technical aspects with suppliers
• Supporting the project during the construction phase through to commissioning, including on-site visits
• Responsible for the certification process according to FGW-TR8 and VDE-AR-N 4110/4120/4130, from commissioning the plant certificate to issuing the declaration of conformity

Your Profile

• Successfully completed university degree with a focus on electrical power engineering or a comparable field
• Relevant experience (usually at least 3 years) in planning medium- or high-voltage systems, ideally with experience in designing grid connections for renewable energy generation systems and battery storage connected to the public grid
• Proficient in relevant grid calculation software such as PowerFactory (load flow, short-circuit, protection, RMS, and EMT simulations); additional software knowledge is a plus
• Good understanding of the German transmission and distribution grid
• Good knowledge of relevant standards such as VDE-AR-N 4101/4120/4130 and technical guidelines from FGW
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills when dealing with people at various organisational levels
