The quality and innovation of the engineering in our products, systems, and service offerings keeps our customers ahead. Developing solutions for our customers all over the world and working on our market-leading technologies will challenge and enrich your work and your mind.
You will be the design authority for all Primary (Electromechanical) engineering activities (both in-house and outsourced) related to diverse High Voltage Substations, Power Quality, and Green Hydrogen projects in the Operating Unit in Spain. Reporting to the Engineering Manager and project team, you will drive excellence - ensuring that Primary engineering activities are efficiently and cost-effectively executed in accordance with customer expectations, contract specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements.
Your responsibilities
Lead, supervise and execute/coordinate all Primary (Electromechanical) scope and sub-suppliers to secure the integrity, completeness, and correct function of the substation system.
Support and optimization of conceptual designs, physical implementations of equipment. Take responsibility for functional arrangement of systems and components.
Conduct electromechanical and electrodynamic calculations, carrying out and reviewing electromechanical studies (steel structure, insulation coordination, earthing grid, lightning protection...) for the feasibility and definition of projects at basic and detailed engineering level.
Prepare and review technical specifications and validate equipment.
Ensure 3D design/models. Coordinate interferences and their resolution. Ensure clash-free design. Monitor civil interference vs. electromechanical discipline.
Coordinate with Control and Protection systems (single-line diagrams, schematics, cabling, etc.).
Review and supervise the electromechanical activity performed by external engineering subcontractors. Manage subcontractor and project engineering progress, including technical reviews issued by suppliers and/or manufacturers.
Take responsibility for all substation Primary design, calculation, and documentation (Base design, Detail Design, "As Built", etc. up to project close-out).
Make technical recommendations in the Primary design, engineering, and execution phases of customer projects to ensure all actions are completed according to process requirements and standards, while identifying risks and improvement opportunities.
Support the Project Team with claims related to changes in the project Primary scope, including assessing cost and time impacts, as well as risk quantifications.
Assist in preparing proposals/presentations of engineering projects (layouts, BoQs...) for Sales support.
Create and deliver the Primary scope-specific work planning, resource requirements, proposals, engineering estimates, and risk and opportunity analysis.
Resolve complex technical issues both remotely and on domestic and international customer sites (occasional travels, both national/international).
Provide technical support for installation activities.
Maintain and enhance customer satisfaction by providing continued dialogue and excellent service at all stages of the project.
Collaborate and network with engineering colleagues, sharing best practices across different projects and disciplines, developing your leadership, coordination, and communication skills with the support of the local and international teams.
Live core values of safety, integrity, and quality, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.
Your background
Mandatory:
A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or similar field.
Broad knowledge in substation Primary engineering and execution.
BIM methodology.
2D (Autocad) and 3D (Revit) design tools. Autodesk Construction Cloud environment.
