Job description

As a Telecom Engineer, you are responsible for engineering telecom networks that ensure optimal communication within the high‑voltage grid. Through your work, new and existing telecom assets are designed, deployed, installed, and modified for internal stakeholders and external clients. Most activities can be performed in a hybrid manner—from the office or from home—while occasional visits to client or supplier locations are part of the role. You will also have the opportunity to develop yourself into a subject‑matter expert in telecom networks. This position is available for a minimum of 32 hours per week.

You strengthen the network as a Telecom Engineer

In this role, you take technical responsibility for the telecom infrastructure within assigned projects. You work out the technical design for connecting project locations to the telecom network and act as the central point of coordination across all telecom‑related disciplines.

You align technical aspects with project teams on behalf of various grid and infrastructure clients. You contribute to project plans covering safety, feasibility, and technical integrity. Each year, dozens of new connections and customer sites are built, modified, or maintained—so the work is dynamic and continuously evolving.

Activities include:

• Preparing feasibility studies for new build projects
• Creating basic designs for new build projects
• Reviewing and validating delivered project data
• Preparing and handing over project documentation to stakeholders
• Continuously developing your expertise to become a true specialist in your field

You make the network more complete

You will be part of an organization dedicated to developing and maintaining a reliable, future‑proof energy infrastructure. Together with a large team of technical professionals, we design, build, and operate essential energy and communication networks that millions of people rely on.

Within this organization, you work in the business unit responsible for high‑voltage infrastructure and smart energy solutions. Here, you contribute to designing, constructing, and maintaining both the current and future high‑voltage grid.

You will join a supportive and collaborative Telecom team. The team values knowledge sharing, offers plenty of space for ideas, and provides an environment where you can always reach out to colleagues for help or feedback.

You make the network more energizing

You learn something new every day—building on your strengths, talent, and technical drive. You bring logical thinking and problem‑solving ability, ideally combined with:

• MBO+ / Bachelor-level education or equivalent experience in electrical engineering, energy technology, or telecommunications
• At least 5 years of relevant experience in engineering and preparing telecom‑related projects
