Jobbeschreibung

We are looking for an Expert in Electrical Protection Systems to retain and advance the organization’s deep technical expertise in designing and implementing robust electrical protection systems for HV transformers, HV equipment, and generators in complex energy projects.

How You’ll Make An Impact

• Develop, establish and implement electrical protection standards such as schemes, logics and processes for generator and HV transformers protection, and for the interface to the HV switchgear and grid interconnection.
• Work as part of a project team, responsible for the electrical protection system and collaborate closely and communicate regularly with the lead electrical engineer, the project team, and relevant stakeholders.
• Lead the evaluation and introduction of new protection technologies and methodologies to enhance system performance and reliability.
• Act as the final technical authority on protection system concepts, specifications, and component selection.
• Provide expert‑level consultation to project engineering and execution teams on the design and application of protection systems.
• Serve as the primary escalation point for resolving the most complex technical challenges related to electrical protection systems.
• Mentor and guide other professionals and engineers within the electrical engineering discipline to foster technical growth.
• Oversee and define the quality assurance protocols for the commissioning and testing of electrical protection systems.

What You Bring

• Master’s degree (or equivalent, e.g., German 'Diplom‑Ingenieur') in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Extensive (typically 10+ years) professional experience in the design, application, and troubleshooting of electrical protection systems, preferably in the power generation or transmission industry.
• Hands‑on experience with protection relays and IEDs similar to Siemens Siprotec 5 relays, including developing relay settings, parameterization, testing, troubleshooting and lifecycle support using DIGSI 5 engineering software.
• Experience integrating protection and control systems with plant SCADA, DCS, RTUs, and EMS using IEC 61850, Modbus, TCP/IP, IEC 60870‑5-104, DNP3 and other industrial communication protocols is an asset.
• Knowledge of international standards including IEC, IEEE, grid code requirements, and utility protection philosophies.
• Demonstrated experience as a subject‑matter expert, with a proven track record of developing technical standards and providing technical leadership on complex projects.

Benefits

• Attractive remuneration package in line with the market.
• Employer‑financed company pension scheme.
• Opportunity to become a Siemens Energy shareholder.
• Work flexibly and remotely, with inspiring offices for collaboration and creativity.
• Professional and personal development programmes and learning materials.
