- Quality & Best Practices: Ensure that all engineering teams are aligned with best practices, quality standards, and safety protocols, both in design and during site activities. Act as the go-to technical resource for resolving complex engineering challenges.
- Continuous Improvement: Promote a culture of continuous improvement, supporting teams in identifying opportunities to improve design, performance, and cost-efficiency of HVDC systems.
- Technology Leadership: Stay informed about the latest technological advancements in the HVDC sector, and incorporate these innovations into the team’s technical approaches and design philosophies.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Provide technical input for strategic decision-making and contribute to the development of technical roadmaps, ensuring alignment with business goals and customer needs. Support the global leadership team with technical insights and recommendations.
- Site Operations & Deployment: Oversee the technical aspects of onshore and offshore installations, ensuring proper commissioning and integration of HVDC valve systems at site locations. Provide technical support to field teams and ensure successful project execution.
- Project & Resource Management: Coordinate and support engineering resources across multiple regions, ensuring the timely delivery of technical solutions and optimal utilization of engineering capabilities across teams.
Required Qualifications and Experience:
- Extensive Technical Experience: At least 7-10 years of experience in engineering and systems management within the HVDC sector, with a strong focus on valve systems (mechanical and electrical), cooling systems, and related HVDC technologies (e.g., inverters, FACTS, Statcom).
- Global Team Leadership: Proven experience in leading and coordinating technical teams across multiple locations, with an ability to manage cross-cultural teams and integrate technical solutions across global engineering centres.
- Advanced Engineering Knowledge: In-depth expertise in HVDC design processes, particularly for converter valves and associated systems, as well as a solid understanding of industry standards and regulatory requirements.
- Project Delivery: Experience in delivering complex HVDC projects from a technical perspective, including design, testing, commissioning, and integration on both onshore and offshore sites.
- Advanced Degree: A Master’s degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field, or relevant professional experience that demonstrates technical depth in HVDC systems.
- Technical Certifications & Licensing: Up-to-date technical certifications and licenses relevant to HVDC system design and site operations, particularly for onshore and offshore service teams.
