Job description

As an Electrical Systems Engineer (Marine & Offshore), you will focus on the design and engineering of complex electrical systems used in maritime and offshore projects. You will translate functional requirements into clear, structured, and practical technical solutions that can be efficiently implemented and commissioned.

You will play a key role in the early and middle phases of projects, ensuring that all systems are technically sound, well-documented, and ready for execution. Working closely with project managers and commissioning engineers, you will help bridge the gap between engineering and real-world application.

What you will do

• System design: Develop detailed electrical system designs based on functional specifications and client requirements.
• Engineering ownership: Ensure that all technical documentation, drawings, and specifications are complete, accurate, and ready for execution.
• Drawing & tools: Create and manage electrical schematics using AutoCAD and EPLAN, maintaining high engineering standards.
• Technical preparation: Translate project requirements into structured engineering packages that can be executed efficiently on-site.
• Calculations & budgeting: Support technical calculations and contribute to project budgeting and planning.
• Project collaboration: Work closely with project managers and commissioning engineers to ensure smooth handovers from design to execution.
• Aftercare & optimization: Support post-delivery improvements and updates, using feedback from commissioning and operations.
• Process improvement: Apply structured and analytical thinking to improve engineering workflows and project outcomes.

Where you will work

This role sits at the core of the engineering process. Before any installation is built or tested, it starts with a solid and reliable design. You will be working in an environment where engineering, craftsmanship, and international collaboration come together. Projects are delivered both locally and globally, with installations designed in the Netherlands and implemented at shipyards across Europe and Asia.

What you already have.

• Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5 years of experience in an engineering or design-focused role
• Strong analytical mindset with attention to technical detail
• Structured and organized way of working
• Experience with AutoCAD and EPLAN
• Good knowledge of MS Office (Word, Excel, Access), including affinity with VBA or VB.NET
• 38 paid holidays per year for an excellent work-life balance
• Covered commuting and interviewing costs
• Business Travel Insurance
• Basic Dutch course, so you will understand the Dutch jokes during the coffee break
• Access to professional gatherings and events within the Dutch maritime industry
• Housing search and registration supported by Van Storm
