The role combines stakeholder interaction, engineering judgment, and market insight. Are you interested in shaping how cable solutions are applied within modern power grids?

Connect Grid Requirements With Practical Cable Solutions

In this position, you work as a technical partner for utilities and internal stakeholders, translating grid requirements into product and application input for R&D and commercial teams. You contribute to product roadmaps, new product development, and customer‑facing technical support, with a clear focus on cable systems and distribution networks.

You communicate clearly with customers, sales, R&D, and external partners, and you handle technical discussions with professional clarity. You are comfortable working while staying connected to a wider team. You show consideration for different perspectives and build trust through reliable follow‑up and sound technical judgment.

You Also Have

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent qualification
• Experience within the electrical industry, preferably with cables or utility networks
• Understanding of power grids from manufacturer, grid owner, or installer viewpoints
• Skills in electrical calculations, cable dimensioning, and application support
