High Voltage Specialists for offshore wind farms
Looking for new challenges?
Join us and become High Voltage (HV) Specialists in our HV Services UK team where you will perform a variety of operation and maintenance activities on offshore wind turbines. We provide support to a number of offshore wind farms primarily in Grimsby, but also at other locations. You will report to the HV Manager for the UK, within the UK HV Services Division.
The department is part of Wind Power which has 2,200 employees and is one of three business units in DONG Energy. Wind Power is the world’s largest developer and operator of offshore wind power, and we use our unique knowledge in all phases of our wind turbine projects. During the last 20 years, we have developed and constructed the largest portfolio of offshore wind farms in Northern Europe, and we are expanding with international activities in the US and Asia-Pacific.
You will be based at our Operations and Maintenance facilities in Grimsby. However, you should expect some travelling both in the United Kingdom and abroad in relation to your work. Additionally, flexible working hours will be required to meet the operational demands of an offshore 24/7 business.
Your key tasks will be to
- maintain a thorough understanding of the rules and associated processes prescribed by the DONG Energy Electrical Safety Rules
- control and switch the high voltage network
- perform maintenance on the HV equipment according to the maintenance plan and provide feedback following the works to ensure continual improvement
- act as site supervisor for contractors and working parties under your control
- coordinate the interface between system boundaries, including working with third parties.
Your qualifications and core competences include that you
- hold a High Voltage authorisation at 34kV or above and have working experience as Senior Authorised Person operating under company HV safety rules
- meet the authorisation criteria and demonstrate appropriate experience in electrical maintenance and working within a safety system
- have a sound understanding of electrical principles, HV equipment and maintenance practices
- have formal qualifications or equivalent experience
- have knowledge of wind farm operations, equipment and the business of power generation.
You will have a full driving license and, as your role requires climbing skills, it is important that you are physically fit and are comfortable working at heights.
We offer
A challenging job within an international renewable energy company.
