Senior Electrical Engineer - Offshore Substations & Wind Turbine Generators

We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

Are you looking for a job where you can be a trusted voice to tackle global transformations? Would you like to thrive in a dynamic, international environment with lots of exciting challenges every day? Do you want to be part of a team of skilled colleagues in a global organization where we work as one team?

We invite qualified engineers looking for opportunities to join our team in Renewables Certification.

Renewables Certification (RC) belongs to the business area Energy Systems and has the global responsibility for Type Certification (TC), Component Certification (CC), and Project Certification (PC) for Renewables. RC is the global market leader in the Renewables Certification market and is involved in 80% of Project Certification for offshore wind parks, including offshore substations, in the world.

We are looking for experienced Electrical Engineers, with a strong profile and interest in working with renewable energy. There are two positions available within our Department for Offshore Substations, one with primary focus towards the certification of electrical installations for offshore substations and offshore converter platforms, and one with primary focus towards certification of electrical installations for offshore substations and wind turbine generators. Given the significant overlap in technical competence, these two units work closely together within the Department and as such, there are opportunities to work across these assets depending on your interests. Similarly, there are also opportunities to work on the certification of electrical installations within wind turbine generator designs as well, but this is not the primary focus of these positions.

As an experienced Electrical Engineer, you will form part of a multidisciplinary team engaged in design, manufacturing, transportation & installation, and commissioning verification activities together with our structural, fire & safety, and E&I engineering teams located across our European offices (locations include Copenhagen, Esbjerg, Hamburg, and Oslo).

In this role you will:

• Cover all steps in the certification process from review of early designs to design verification, fabrication surveillance, transportation & installation, commissioning, and periodic inspection of installations in operation.
• Some travel will be required within Europe, possibly further abroad, but such travel is usually flexible.

• Working in a dynamic team with a varied and challenging field of duties.
• Great potential for knowledge transfer by experienced engineers in a wide range of fields.
• Working with the most experienced Developers, Designers, and Contractors in the world who are actively leading the Energy Transition.
• Hybrid working model.
• Flexible working hours, the weekly working time is 37 or 39 hours (depending on country).
• Pension scheme.
• Life style benefits - various additional benefits depending on country.
• Wide range of opportunities for further education, training, and advancement.
• The opportunity to actively shape the energy transition through Joint-Industry-Projects, Standards Development, and Technology Qualifications.

• 4-5 years of relevant professional experience from a similar position, preferably from the consulting or engineering sector: oil & gas or renewable energy.
• Strong English skills (written and spoken).
• Experienced Wind Turbine Engineer or a Generalist with broad experience in electrical engineering (power engineering or similar), passion to dive into detailed design aspects of equipment and systems used in high- and low-voltage installations at the same time and interest to develop in the wind turbine industry.
• Knowledge of relevant IEC standards and ideally the essential criteria concerning power system design and rating of components including but not limited to transformers, switchgear, cables, and battery systems. Knowledge within the wind turbine generator design would be an asset.
• Experience with manufacturing survey, FAT, and offshore commissioning will be seen as positive.

As a person, you should be a team player with strong communication skills, able to keep a positive and proactive attitude, with a solution-oriented, pragmatic, and flexible mindset. It is crucial to have strong customer centricity and the ability to convey the added value of DNV services.
