(Senior) Electrical Engineer High Voltage (Primary & Secondary)
Are you the architect of the power grid? Do you design the complex high-voltage substations that drive the energy transition? We are looking for an Engineer who masters primary power or secondary intelligence.

About the Role
As an Electrical Engineer High Voltage, you are responsible for the full design of multidisciplinary projects ranging from 50kV to 380kV. You translate client requirements into integrated designs. This means you don’t just focus on the heavy components (Primary), or on the control, protection, and automation systems that make it all work (Secondary).

Your Responsibilities

• Integrated Design: Develop basic and detailed designs for primary components (transformers, circuit breakers, busbar systems) or secondary systems (protection schemes, PAC systems).
• Engineering & Calculations: Perform grid and cable calculations (e.g., using Intelec or Vision) and verify designs against international standards (IEC/NEN).
• Specifications: Draft technical specifications for material procurement and assist in the technical evaluation of suppliers.
• Systems Engineering: Apply the SE methodology to ensure all requirements are traceable and secured within the design.
• Collaboration: Act as the technical bridge between engineering and execution, advising colleagues and ensuring ‘as-built’ documentation is accurate.

Job requirements

Your Profile

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Power Systems.
• Experience: 3 to 5+ years of experience in high-voltage engineering. Experience with secondary protection concepts is highly valued.
• Tools: Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or EPLAN. Knowledge of BIM is a plus.
• Competencies: Analytical, detail-oriented, and able to clearly explain complex technical choices to clients.
• Language: Professional proficiency in both Dutch and English.

What We Offer

• Salary: A competitive monthly salary between € 4200 and € 6000(depending on seniority).
• Benefits: Excellent secondary benefits including a flex-budget (up to 18%), profit sharing, and a solid pension scheme.
• Flexibility: Opportunities for hybrid work and flexible scheduling.
• Growth: A generous training budget and pathways to advance into Lead Engineer or Technical Manager roles.
