Job description

Location: Schenkenberg, Germany — Dauerthal location | Employment information: Full-time listed; positions may also be possible part-time

This Power Grid Planner post covers the technical and organisational work needed to establish electricity-grid connections for renewable-energy projects. The engineer will develop connection concepts and plan substations, transformer and transfer stations, and cable networks. The vacancy also assigns network-study work, so the position combines physical infrastructure planning with the analytical assessment of how a network will perform under defined operating conditions.

Delivery responsibility continues beyond the planning stage. The role supports approval documentation, prepares and coordinates procurement activity for grid-technology services, and follows construction work through supervision, acceptance, invoicing, documentation and archiving. It also requires ownership of budget and schedule planning, coordination of project interfaces, project-site support and reporting to the team lead. The emphasis is on structured progress across a technically demanding project lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Advise on and support building-application and approval documentation, coordinating with grid operators, certifiers and public authorities.
• Plan and design grid-connection concepts, substations, transformer stations, transfer stations and cable networks within the stated voltage range.
• Carry out grid studies, including load-flow and short-circuit-current calculations and work connected with system services.
• Apply the relevant VDE standards during network-planning and study work.
• Coordinate tendering and award processes for grid-technology services through to the appointment of external service providers and suppliers.
• Monitor construction projects and handle acceptance, billing, documentation and archiving connected with the work.
• Create, manage and maintain budget and schedule plans for the assigned projects.
• Coordinate participating companies and project interfaces throughout project realisation.
• Support grid-technology projects at their respective sites and report to the team lead.

Qualifications

• Completed degree in electrical engineering, energy engineering or a comparable qualification.
• At least three years of professional experience in grid planning or in leading electrical-infrastructure projects.
• Knowledge of MS Office, AutoCAD and PowerFactory.
• Very good written and spoken German and English skills.
• Class B driving licence.
• Teamworking ability, persuasive communication and an analytical, solution-oriented way of thinking.
• Preferred: experience in project management or construction management.

Skills and Competencies

• Grid-planning capability covering connection concepts, stations, cable networks and technical network studies.
• Use of MS Office, AutoCAD and PowerFactory for the tasks named in the vacancy.
• Analytical and solution-oriented thinking when evaluating technical questions and project interfaces.
• Clear German and English communication in writing and speech for work with internal and external parties.
• Coordination skills for contractors, suppliers, grid operators, certifiers and authorities.
• Structured handling of budgets, schedules, documentation, archiving and project reporting.

Benefits and Employment Information

• Paid annual leave is listed by the employer.

• Workation from other European Union countries is listed as an option.
• The employer lists support for occupational pension provision, childcare costs and a bicycle-leasing benefit.
