The Role

You will take responsibility for primary substation planning, leading a small team of junior engineers while coordinating closely with grid operators and clients. This is a highly technical and client-facing role, blending engineering expertise with leadership, mentoring, and project oversight.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Lead the engineering design of high-voltage substations, ensuring compliance with technical and regulatory requirements
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers and non-German-speaking team members, building a capable and efficient team
  • Act as the main technical interface with grid operators, ensuring smooth coordination throughout the project lifecycle
  • Support project execution while maintaining visibility into construction and operational requirements
  • Apply project management skills to organise tasks, timelines, and technical deliverables
  • Participate in international opportunities where desired, including global assignments or temporary project deployments

Your Background

  • Significant experience in primary substation design, preferably within engineering consultancies, OEMs, or grid operators
  • Strong technical expertise coupled with the ability to communicate effectively with clients
  • Proven leadership and mentoring experience for junior engineers
  • C1-level German is required
  • Degree is not essential -- candidates with a technical qualification (Techniker, apprenticeship plus training) are also considered
  • Ability to work independently while being part of a collaborative, multinational team
  • Willingness to spend some time in-office to support and train the team

Why Join?

  • Lead complex, high-voltage substation projects with international exposure
  • Mentor and develop a junior engineering team, shaping the next generation of technical talent
  • Flexible, hybrid working with offices in Hamburg, Berlin, and Zurich
  • Access to a global network and potential international career opportunities
  • Work with a company that combines technical excellence with global scale
