Electrical Engineer, Power Systems: Plant Electrical and Grid for New Nuclear

About the role

An international engineering consultancy is growing its nuclear team in the Netherlands and is looking for an electrical engineer in power systems, covering plant electrical systems and grid connection for new nuclear projects, from large reactors to SMRs. The consultancy acts as technical support to developers and owners preparing to build. The role suits someone with hands-on grid connection experience who wants to move into nuclear.

Key responsibilities

• Support the electrical engineering scope of new nuclear projects, from plant electrical systems to grid connection.
• Support power system and grid connection studies and the interface with network operators.
• Contribute to specifications and bid documentation for electrical packages.
• Review designs, studies and documentation from technology vendors and contractors.
• Work alongside mechanical, I&C and safety colleagues on electrical interfaces.
• Represent the team in technical meetings with clients and contractors.

Required profile

• Degree in electrical or power engineering.
• Around 3 to 10 years of electrical engineering experience in power, grid or large industrial plant.
• Hands-on grid connection experience: HV and MV systems, substations, connection studies or work with a TSO or DSO.
• Nuclear experience is an advantage, not a requirement.
• Dutch is a strong advantage; English is the working language on many projects.
• Based in the Netherlands or willing to relocate there.

What we offer

• Salary up to around EUR 95,000 depending on experience.
• Applications are handled confidentially by the recruiter.
