The energy transition is impossible without you as a power plant engineer

As a station design engineer, you are primarily responsible for developing and delivering technical designs. You will work within a multidisciplinary IPM team and coordinate closely with the technical manager, environmental manager, project managers, contractors, and other stakeholders.
You deal with:
  • The design and development of new construction, renovation, and expansion projects for medium-voltage substations.
  • Developing diagrams, drawings, and technical documentation.
  • Analyzing project proposals and translating them into concrete design principles.
  • Preparing designs ready for implementation.
  • Coordinating technical designs with clients, programs, and project teams.
  • Ensuring quality, safety, manufacturability, and technical feasibility.
  • Identifying risks and proposing improvements.
  • Providing support for implementation in relation to technical issues.
  • Ordering materials and helping to control costs.
  • Mentoring and supporting junior engineers and contributing to knowledge sharing within the team.

In this role, the emphasis is not on management, but on subject matter expertise, craftsmanship, and delivering reliable quality.
 

You complete the grid at Alliander
Did you know that Alliander is made up of various companies that work together to build a reliable and future-proof energy grid? With a large team of professionals, we develop and manage the energy grid for millions of residents and businesses in the Netherlands.Everything we do, we do with the people who count on us in mind: our customers. And thanks to our talented team, we have complete confidence in the Netherlands’ energy future. Together with you, we’re making the energy transition possible—for and with our customers.

You’ll help make the grid even better at Alliander

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary IPM team alongside engineers, site supervisors, project coordinators, environmental managers, technical managers, and project managers on station projects with a significant social impact.
The Stationswerk West department is made up of skilled and helpful colleagues. A friendly atmosphere is key, but the focus is always on delivering high-quality technical designs. Together, you’ll work on:
  • Delivery reliability.
  • Safety and quality.
  • Efficient design.
  • Initiative and ownership.
  • Be quick to adapt and work together.
  • Continuously improving output and turnaround time.
     
You’ll work partly in the office and partly from home. Mondays and Wednesdays are designated collaboration days at the office, because collaboration and knowledge sharing are key to the team’s success.
You just make it more energetic
You are an engineer who enjoys taking responsibility for your designs and gets energized by technical challenges.
In addition, you have:
  • At least an MBO Level 4 diploma in electrical engineering, energy engineering, or a comparable field.
  • At least 3 years of experience in engineering or work planning in the energy or infrastructure sectors.
  • Knowledge of medium-voltage substations and underground infrastructure.
  • Experience with design development, bid analysis, and cost estimates.
  • Good communication skills and experience in working with different stakeholders.
Safety certifications such as VOL-VCA and BEI VOP HS TR, or a willingness to obtain them.
