NB: This is a role based in the Netherlands, and we are considering relocating engineers with an affinity for the Dutch/Afrikaans language.

Would you like to take the next step in your career and work on complex high-voltage projects? Would you like to join a team where your designs directly impact the energy transition? Would you like to work in a role that offers growth opportunities and technical challenges every day?

My client is entering a transformative phase, tackling some of the most complex challenges in the energy transition in the Netherlands. You’ll be part of projects that shape the backbone of tomorrow’s power grid, designing advanced high-voltage systems that must meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and innovation. Expect cutting-edge technology, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the chance to engineer solutions that keep the lights on for millions.

I’m looking for someone who:

• Holds a higher professional education/degree in electrical engineering, energy technology, electrical power engineering, or a comparable field.
• Has a passion for electricity networks (high voltage) and energy technology.
• Brings at least 3 years of experience designing complex high- and medium-voltage systems.
• Possesses strong communication skills and thrives in a project-based environment.
• Ideally has a strong affinity with the Dutch language (such as being able to speak Afrikaans), as it’s essential to learn Dutch for this role.

Who is interested in:

• Designing secondary systems for high-voltage substations (expansion, renovation, new builds).
• Translating functional designs into executable project plans.
• Preparing technical documentation and execution drawings using Systems Engineering methodology.
• Acting as a sparring partner to the Technical Manager throughout all project phases.
• Monitoring progress, resolving issues, and ensuring quality and compliance.

What we can offer:

• Compensation up to €6000 per month, 24 holidays, a pension scheme, relocation and visa support, and more.
• A position with a leading player in energy infrastructure in the Netherlands, with ambitious growth plans.
• An opportunity with an employer that rewards entrepreneurship and initiative.

We know we ask a lot but encourage you to apply even if you fit 80% of the role.
