Knowledge of the offshore wind market will also be seen favorably.

This position will be opened for at least 3 days.

Here's what you'll need

Support and/or lead HVDC related projects, at various stages of development including:
  • Assist clients in HVDC/HVAC technology selection;
  • Conceptual, pre-FEED and FEED level design studies and/or drawings;
  • Converter station functional/technical specifications;

  • Contribute to industry thought leadership and represent Jacobs at reputable international conferences and committee meetings such as IEEE and CIGRE.

Please note that although this role is expected to primarily focus on HVDC, other conventional electrical and high-voltage transmission engineering tasks may also be assigned from time to time.
