• You act as the deputy for the Head of the Control Room (CCR) and serve as the extended arm of the Lead Responsible Electrical Person (Lead REP/Lead VEFK), ensuring that all requirements defined by the REP as well as applicable RAN Offshore Wind Park standards and regulations are consistently implemented and adhered to by the Control Room and its HV Operators.
• You provide technical guidance, coaching, and continuous development for HV Operators across all shifts, fostering best practice sharing and operational excellence.
• You plan and deliver training, qualification, and development programs, actively contributing to knowledge building and capability development within the team.
• As the Key User for SCADA and control systems, you lead implementation projects, including the commissioning of new wind farms and the introduction of new SCADA systems and operational tools and act as the primary contact for IT/OT, external service providers, and the integration of new wind farms.
• You analyze operational events, complex faults, and deviations, derive sustainable improvement measures, and provide support for day-to-day switching operations when required.

Job requirements and experience

• Successfully completed a degree in Electrical Engineering or a qualification as a certified Electrical Technician or Master Electrician, combined with extensive professional experience in high-voltage operations or power system control.
• Extensive hands-on experience in the switching operations of high-voltage installations and the operation of substations.
• Strong understanding of power system operations, electrical asset management, and wind turbine monitoring.
• Experience working with SCADA and control systems, ideally within an offshore wind environment.
• Ideally, professional experience in a Control Room, the offshore wind industry, or with a utility or transmission/distribution system operator.
• Experience with the initial energization and commissioning of high-voltage systems is considered an advantage.
• Strong analytical skills, a structured and methodical approach to work, and a high level of responsibility with a strong commitment to safety.
• Excellent written and spoken German and English skills.
