What we expect

• Degree in electrical, automation, or maritime engineering
• Practical experience in commissioning, service, or maintenance of industrial electrical systems
• Strong understanding of:
  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) – essential
  • Generators, switchboards, transformers

  • Control systems (PLC – user level)
• Hands‑on mindset and readiness to travel globally (assignments lasting from a few days up to 2 weeks)
• Good communication skills and proficiency in English (technical and conversational)
• Independence, professionalism and composure in dynamic international environments

Experience with hybrid propulsion or energy storage systems will be a strong advantage.
