Senior Project Lead Engineer

The opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Project Lead Engineer who wants to experience the fascinating world of HVDC. In this role, you will get the opportunity to take the technical lead on projects and tenders where you will have the responsibility to coordinate global project teams. You will also interact with other stakeholders such as customers, officials, contractors, and supply chain, where you will be the main point of contact for technical queries. You will work independently while collaborating with others, and you will have great responsibility of managing all your projects and processes independently.

We know that everyone has different skills and competencies, and we are interested to learn more about you and what you can contribute with. The need for expertise is increasing and we are therefore looking for both junior and senior engineers, with experience from various technical areas. No matter your background, you will be given the right tools and support to develop and grow in your role.
