Lead Engineering for Substations

Quick Facts

• Lead and take responsibility for the engineering of all substations in a large power transmission project.
• Direct technical coordinators and make cross-cutting technical decisions.
• Ensure integration with cable system engineering and aligned interfaces during commissioning.
• Location: Leingarten/Würzburg (approx. 40% remote, 60% on-site).

Description

You will lead and be responsible for the engineering of all substations within a major energy transmission infrastructure project. You steer technical coordinators across system engineering, primary engineering, secondary engineering, civil engineering, grid operation, grid planning, and plant operation, and you make the necessary technical decisions. You also ensure integration capability with cable system engineering and approve technical evidence documentation covering construction, installation, and commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Lead substation engineering and coordinate the work of technical coordinators for system engineering, primary engineering, secondary engineering, civil engineering, grid operation, grid planning, and plant operation.
• Work with coordinators to develop cross-cutting technical solutions and decision bases for your scope.
• Make technical decisions and take ownership of them.
• Secure integration with cable system engineering.
• Coordinate closely with the other project stakeholders on all technical topics related to overall commissioning and ensure aligned interface processing.
• Review and release technical evidence documentation for construction, installation, and commissioning for all substations (IBS/IBN).

Requirements

• Completed degree (Diploma or Master) in Electrical Engineering or a comparable qualification gained through long-term professional experience.
• Relevant professional and project experience in conception, planning, execution, and commissioning of infrastructure projects in power transmission.
• Experience in functional leadership of technical coordinators.
• Confident and persuasive communication and presentation skills (e.g., in negotiations).
• Very good German and English skills.
• Valid Class B driver’s license and high willingness to travel.
• Quick comprehension and enthusiasm.

Benefits

• A high-responsibility key role in an important infrastructure project for the energy transition.
• Work location: Leingarten/Würzburg with approx. 40% remote and 60% on-site.
