Primary Design Engineer – High-Voltage Substations Bilbao

Location: The Netherlands | Full-time | Open to candidates currently based in SpainAre you experienced in the electrical or electromechanical design of high-voltage substations?As a Primary Design Engineer, you will work on the development, expansion and modernisation of the Dutch high-voltage grid. You will design the primary electrical installations of substations and coordinate your engineering with Secondary, Civil, Structural and BIM disciplines.Our projects primarily cover installations from 50 kV up to 150 kV.If your experience in Spain is mainly with 132 kV, 220 kV or 400 kV substations, that experience is highly relevant. The engineering principles and experience with HV equipment are directly transferable to our projects.What will you do?As Primary Design Engineer, you are responsible for the electromechanical/primary design of high-voltage installations.Your responsibilities include:Designing primary electrical installations for MV and HV substations;Developing substation layouts and equipment arrangements;Working with AIS and/or GIS substation concepts;Selecting and specifying primary HV equipment;Engineering equipment such as:Power transformers;Circuit breakers;Disconnectors and earthing switches;Current transformers (CT);Voltage transformers (VT/CVT);Busbar systems;HV cables and connections;Translating technical and client requirements into practical engineering solutions;Preparing and reviewing technical specifications;Supporting equipment selection and technical evaluation of supplier proposals;Preparing engineering and construction work packages;Reviewing engineering packages produced by colleagues or external engineering partners;Coordinating interfaces with Civil, Structural, Secondary and BIM teams;Checking designs for technical quality, safety and constructability;Supporting engineering questions during procurement, construction and commissioning;Contributing to both brownfield extensions and complete new-build substations.Depending on your experience, you may also coordinate engineering activities or take technical responsibility for defined project scopes.
