Job Description Summary
Shape the next generation of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) testing and validation — leading a team whose work keeps the world’s power grids running safely and reliably.
As a Lead Project Engineer, you’ll lead a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for the design, configuration, testing, and validation of complex HVDC Control & Protection (C&P) and automation systems. You’ll shape consistent design practices and robust verification and validation (V&V) strategies that drive flawless execution across live projects, new product introduction, and product care. This is a genuine opportunity to expand your technical and project leadership capabilities within an international organization delivering world-class HVDC solutions — your team’s work directly determines how reliably these systems perform in the field.
