About the position of Electrical Engineer

What to expect of the Electrical Engineer within Huisman?
As an Electrical Engineer, you will be involved in the full engineering process, turning complex technical requirements into safe, reliable and innovative electrical solutions. From concept to commissioning, you will see your designs take shape and contribute directly to some of the world’s most impressive and technically challenging equipment.
You will work on a wide range of electrical engineering activities, including single-line diagrams, power system architectures, motion control, instrumentation and network designs, load balances, risk assessments and safety systems. Using industry-standard tools such as MATLAB and SKM, you will also perform load flow, selectivity and short-circuit calculations to ensure robust and reliable system performance.
Your role goes beyond design. You will support our manufacturing and testing activities and prepare the engineering documentation required for classification societies, authorities and other stakeholders. And because engineering does not stop at your desk, you will have the opportunity to visit suppliers, shipyards and production facilities, giving you the chance to see your designs come to life.
You will work in a multidisciplinary environment, closely collaborating with specialists in mechanical engineering, control systems, hydraulics, technical documentation, commissioning and testing. This cross-disciplinary approach gives you the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of our products and contribute beyond your own field of expertise.
As part of our international engineering community, you will also work closely with colleagues in Brazil, China and the Czech Republic, sharing knowledge and contributing to innovative projects delivered around the world.
Personal development and training opportunities are all part of the deal. And let's not forget the excellent company perks, such as regular drinks in our own bar.

What do we expect of you?

• Design the electrical systems that power and control our innovative products, from single-line diagrams and power system architectures to component selection, instrumentation and network design. You translate system requirements into robust, integrated solutions and perform the necessary electrical calculations to validate your designs.
• Turn complex project requirements into practical electrical solutions, ensuring that systems and components work together seamlessly.
• Ensure your designs comply with relevant regulations and standards, while preparing the technical specifications and documentation required by clients, shipyards and other stakeholders.
• Work closely with our customers and shipyards to support the successful integration of Huisman equipment on board their vessels.
• Share your technical expertise across the organisation, supporting colleagues and projects with your electrical engineering knowledge and advice.
• Take your engineering from design to reality by creating the essential deliverables needed for procurement, production, testing and commissioning, ultimately contributing to the turnkey solutions we deliver to our customers.

You are:

• Flexible, creative and versatile, with a cross-disciplinary mindset;
• Customer-focused and driven;
• Analytical, practical and accurate;
• Proactive and persuasive;
• A result-driven team player who enjoys working in a multidisciplinary environment.

You have:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Maritime Technology or a related technical discipline.
• Some experience as an Electrical Engineer within the offshore or maritime sector is preferred, but we are also open to recent graduates.

Some practical things we need you to have:
