Lead Engineer

As a Lead Engineer you are responsible for parts of the design process for the construction of high-voltage substations. Together with a group of enthusiastic colleagues, you ensure that the latest engineering tools, the design packages of complete high-voltage stations are delivered ready for implementation.
We work for various customers within the Dutch electricity network for both transport and distribution. That’s why not a day will be the same for you.

As a Lead Engineer you lead a specialized design team.There are mainly teams for primary, secondary and/or tertiary installations.

There is a weekly team meeting with the department manager, during which the activities are coordinated in outline. Because you usually work on different work packages for projects at the same time, current priorities are assessed and discussed on a weekly basis. Your own input and your own responsibility have an important role in this.

As a Lead Engineer within projects, you are responsible for monitoring quality and progress. Within projects you also have contact with representatives of customers and suppliers for technical coordination.
You monitor the progress and quality of various work packages and discuss them with the engineers assigned to you; who picks up what, when does that person deliver it and is the quality good.
You are often involved in all (engineering) phases of a project: from tender, system, detailed, implementation design to as built.

The engineering process is based on the principles of Systems Engineering.This means that you work from sets of requirements and that verification and validation are important aspects in your work. In addition, you work according to a standardized quality system and on the basis of a number of standard designs developed by Strukton.

Finally, you contribute to knowledge development and standardization by participating in knowledge teams and/or standardization initiatives and there is a lot of space for personal development by following training courses, education and experience programs.

Strukton Power is the youngest division of Strukton Groep, created from the merger of various (international) business units. A strategic reorientation on the energy transition has recently brought togheter a unique combination of knowledge and skills to create unique modular HighTech end-to-end solutions and propositions for our (inter)national customers.

Knowledge and experience? Very important, of course. But we are especially curious about what you want to become. Because you keep evolving. And we will continue to support that.

For this role we expect you to bring at least:

– Bachelor/Master Degree;
– 7 years of relevant work experience;
– Knowledge and experience in designing high voltage systems;
– Knowledge of high voltage components/system parts such as switchgear, transformers, security, station automation, etc;
– Experience in managing external parties and suppliers;
– Experience in process work;
– Safety for Operational Managers VCA;

A professional working environment in an organization bursting with ambition. Where initiative and guts are valued and rewarded. A people company, where you are there for each other. Where you tell each other the truth. And where there is also a lot of laughter. And besides:

– Free time: 38 days off. If this is not enough, you can always buy more days off.
– Development opportunities: your ambition is central here.
– A good salary: between € 4,500 and € 6,200. Depends on the experience you bring.
– Flexibility: the possibility to organize your work and your working hours yourself.
