Job description

Job description

Work on technology that drives the energy transition with real, daily impact

Smart meters and EV chargers are becoming part of everyday life. They enable the energy transition, support fair billing, and give consumers confidence in the accuracy and safety of the technology that they use. Before these products can enter the market, they must be tested, assessed, and certified against the recognised industry standards. This is where NMi plays an important role.

For our Smart Metering and EV Charging team, we are looking for a Certification Engineer who enjoys combining hands‑on testing and technical expertise with project ownership and customer contact. In this role, you evaluate smart metering and EV charging technologies against international standards and legal metrology requirements. You manage certification projects from initial application through to final approval, ensuring a clear and technically robust process.

The role combines project management, technical evaluation, and hands‑on testing. You collaborate with customers, test engineers, and internal specialists. Together you define test plans, review technical documentation, analyse test results, and carry out testing yourself, including at customer locations abroad.

You work in a field where technology and regulations continuously evolve. This creates a dynamic environment that requires both precision and adaptability, offering variety in how you apply your expertise.

What you’ll do

• Manage multiple certification projects from start to finish, overseeing planning, progress, scope, and coordination
• Define test plans, coordinate testing activities, and combine hands‑on testing with technical review in close collaboration with test engineers
• Review technical documentation, analyse results, and assess compliance with relevant standards (e.g. MID, OIML, IEC)
• Act as the main point of contact for customers throughout the certification process
• Perform on‑site testing at client locations, including international travel

What you’ll get

• On the job training to develop your expertise in certification processes, standards, and regulatory frameworks
• The autonomy to lead your own projects
• An international working environment with colleagues and clients worldwide
• A competitive salary based on your experience
• A 13th month salary (paid monthly), holiday allowance, and profit sharing
• 30 days of annual leave, with the option to buy or sell additional days
• Hybrid working options
• A solid pension scheme
• Travel reimbursement, home office allowance, and collective health insurance
• Access to sports benefits

Job requirements

What you bring

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering
• Experience with laboratory testing and reporting results
• The ability to manage multiple projects in parallel while maintaining a clear overview
• Confidence in working with clients and strong communication skills
