Description du poste

Excited to work for a key Belgian player in the energy landscape? The Belgian and European energy landscape is in full swing. Did you know that Elia Belgium plays a crucial role in this? As part of Elia Group, a European transmission system operator, Elia Belgium ensures the reliability and sustainability of the electricity supply in our country.

Side‑by‑side with your talented colleagues, you will play a part in building a sustainable, green and reliable energy infrastructure that stimulates economic growth and reduces our ecological footprint. Only together can we make the biggest impact possible! We believe in the power of diversity and are convinced that an inclusive and diverse work environment leads to more innovation, creativity and better results.

Electrical Designer Traineeship

Function

Within the Elia Group, Large Projects and Grid Solutions are responsible for all infrastructure projects that meet requirements with respect to the development, expansion and renewal of the Belgian electricity transmission system between 30 and 380 kV. As a Technical Designer Secondary Systems, you will play a crucial role in the design and realisation of various electric installations and systems (protection, automation and control). Each project involves close collaboration with project engineers, technicians (MAC), experts and occasionally external study offices. Our Technical Designers work in a team of about 15 colleagues, where knowledge sharing is highly valued.

Tasks during study phase

• Based on the project note, carry out a study to adapt standard drawings to achieve the desired end result (and key intermediate phases). Taking the Elia norms, standards and methods into account and in most cases also the integration of the project in an existing substation. The design is done with AutoCAD. An important step is the quality control of the study.
• Discuss and solve problems together with the project engineer.
• Send the drawings to the appropriate departments.
• During the construction of the cubicles, be in close contact with the internal and external stakeholders to rapidly solve problems.

Tasks during construction phase

• Be in close contact with the contractor to solve problems during construction.
• Be in close contact with the technicians during the commissioning to solve issues.
• Find solutions to Secondary Systems problems on site, in consultation with the project leader and technicians on site.

Training Program

• The first weeks consist mainly of a classical explanation of the main components of the protection, automation and control systems. Some small design exercises are carried out to learn to know how to handle the different tools.
• Afterwards, the study for a fictitious project will start. This fictitious project is used to train you for every step of a normal project, with a focus on acquiring the necessary competences.
• During this traineeship, various site visits and supplier visits are organized to show what happens with the drawings after a study (construction and testing of the cubicles and integration of those cubicles in a relay building in a substation).

Goal

By the end of the traineeship, you should be able to start on your own first projects as a Technical Designer.
