Inbedrijfsteller Nederland

Commissioning Engineer / High Voltage Testing Specialist
Do you want to play a key role in the energy transition? We are looking for a technical expert who brings high-voltage substations to life. From physical switching operations to the most complex protection systems: you are the director of the commissioning process.

About the Role
As a (Senior) Commissioning Engineer, you operate at the intersection of primary high-voltage infrastructure and secondary control systems. You are responsible for the entire process: from testing panels to the final “Go-Live” at grid operators and energy producers. You oversee installations ranging from 1,000 to 400,000 Volts, ensuring they operate flawlessly, safely, and according to the highest standards.

Your Responsibilities

  • Testing & Commissioning: Perform functional and safety tests on PAC systems and protection relays (IEDs). Test auxiliary power supplies (AC/DC) and secondary cabling/connections.
  • Technical Leadership: Lead the full commissioning process (FAT, SAT, and SIT) and provide technical guidance to colleagues and external parties on-site.
  • Switching Operations: Independently perform switching operations on MV, HV, and LV installations and ensure the safety of the work environment.
  • Documentation & Quality: Develop test plans, manage punch lists, and ensure flawless ‘as-built’ documentation for the final handover to the client.
  • Advisory Role: Act as the primary point of contact for clients and collaborate closely with engineering and project teams to solve technical challenges.

Job requirements

Your Profile
  • Education: Vocational (MBO-4) or Bachelor’s (HBO) degree in Electrical Engineering, Energy Technology, or Industrial Automation.
  • Experience: Significant experience (ideally 5-8+ years) with secondary systems, PAC installations, and HV components like transformers and switchgear
  • Certification: Possession of (or willingness to obtain) STIPEL / BEI certifications (VP/AVP Transport) and VCA-VOL.
  • Skills: Strong analytical skills, a proactive mindset, and an uncompromising focus on safety.
  • Language: Proficiency in English and willing to learn Dutch is highly preferred.

What We Offer
  • Salary: A gross monthly salary between € 4,200 and € 6000 (depending on expertise).
  • Benefits: An attractive secondary benefits package (such as an additional 18% flex-budget).
  • Development: Ample opportunities for training, certifications, and career advancement.
  • Impact: A vital role where you directly contribute to the reliability of the national power grid.
