Job Description

Role

The Secondary Design Engineer HVDC is responsible for HVDC projects within the Grid Solutions ' Control & Protection engineering team. The primary business aim is to provide specialized IT network and Scada engineering for control systems, ensuring robust and secure project delivery. To meet this objective, the role is structured around three core areas: IT Network & SCADA Engineering for the design and implementation of the system's communication backbone and Project Coordination to manage stakeholder communication and documentation throughout the project lifecycle. Given the focus on industrial control systems, the ideal candidate will possess advanced knowledge of network engineering for industrial applications (e.g., SCADA) and hands‑on experience configuring network hardware.
This position will work closely with other designers, engineers, and the project managers to ensure compliance with contractual specifications, project schedules, and budget constraints.

Key Missions

The Secondary Design Engineer HVDC will have the following key missions:

• Design and implement IT network infrastructure (LAN/WAN, time synchronization, remote access) for HVDC control and protection systems.
• Configure communication components such as routers, switches, and firewalls (e.g., Cisco, RuggedCom) while adhering to stringent IT security requirements.
• Create and maintain project‑specific technical specifications, network diagrams, and system documentation.
• Conduct and support Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) with sub‑suppliers and customers to ensure system compliance

• Provide advanced technical support during the on‑site commissioning phase to troubleshoot and resolve network and security issues.

• Strong hands‑on experience with Human‑Machine Interface (HMI) and SCADA software development, with specific expertise in platforms such as COPA‑DATA Zenon, for real‑time visualization, alarm management, and industrial process control.

Performance Measurements

The performance of the Secondary Design Engineer HVDC will be measured based on:

• Quality of design and accuracy of technical specifications
• Efficient management of detailed design using CAD tools i.e. Engineering Base
• Compliance with contractual specifications, project schedules, and budget constraints
• Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with team members
• Ability to analyse technical proposals and make informed decisions
