Senior Electrical Design Engineer
Senior Electrical Design Engineer (Primary & Secondary Systems) | Greater Munich | On-site | Global Battery & Energy Storage Manufacturer
I am partnering with a world-leading battery and energy storage manufacturer, a Fortune Global 300 business and the number one supplier globally in its category, on the growth of its German engineering function.
They are building out a high-voltage design capability in Munich to support their utility-scale storage and renewables projects across Europe. This is a senior individual contributor seat with genuine technical ownership, not a support role inside a large matrix.
What you will be doing
- Leading electrical primary and secondary design for substations, BESS and renewable generation projects at 110kV and above
- Designing protection, control and automation schemes end to end, from concept through to detailed design and site validation
- Running power system studies: load flow, short circuit, stability and protection coordination
- Producing technical specifications, single line diagrams and design documentation to DIN VDE, IEC and IEEE standards
- Working alongside civil, mechanical and project delivery teams to bring integrated designs to construction
- Acting as a technical reference point for less experienced engineers in the team
What they are looking for
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems or similar
- Solid track record in HV electrical design, ideally 110kV+, across substations, renewables or energy storage
- Strong on primary plant (switchgear, transformers, busbars) and secondary systems (protection relays, SCADA, control panels)
- DIgSILENT PowerFactory and PSCAD/EMTDC are both mandatory
- AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN or similar, plus ETAP, SKM or equivalent
- Working knowledge of IEC 61850 and digital substation design
- Fluent English. German is a strong advantage but not a barrier
- Comfortable being on-site in the Greater Munich area
What is on offer
Competitive base and benefits package with a genuinely open budget for the right technical profile, clear progression into lead and management scope, and involvement in some of the largest storage projects being delivered in Europe right now.
Relocation support is available for candidates moving into the Munich area.
