Grid Specialist – HV / HVDC Transmission

If you’re an HV engineer who enjoys looking at the whole system — not just one asset or one discipline — this role gives you what most organisations can’t: visibility and influence across one of Europe’s most complex, rapidly evolving transmission grids.

We’re supporting a leading organisation responsible for strengthening and decarbonising the high-voltage network. They’re expanding their system engineering and grid integration function — the team responsible for ensuring that 110–380 kV assets, substations, and HVDC connections fit together safely, reliably, and efficiently.

The facts:

You’ll work on grid integration studies, capacity analysis, connection design, and system-level evaluation of new HV and HVDC projects. You collaborate with planning, engineering, operations, protection, and external partners across multiple countries. English is widely used across the business, making the role accessible to strong candidates from other European HV grid or cabling environments.

The problem many engineers face:

If you’re in a traditional engineering or consultancy role today, you may only see your part of the puzzle — a substation, a cable route, a protection scheme. You solve local problems but don’t get to shape how the entire grid evolves.

The solution this role provides:

Here, you step into whole-system ownership. Instead of receiving requirements, you help create them: how a new HVDC link integrates, how capacity is allocated, how reinforcement is sequenced, and how the network must evolve to meet a fully electrified future.

The colour:

• Analyse 110–380 kV grid capacity and provide technical input for grid investment decisions

• Support integration of new HVDC systems, offshore wind connections, and cross-border interconnectors

• Evaluate compliance, load flows, fault levels, dynamic stability and connection conditions

• Work closely with engineering, planning, system operations, and protection teams

• Guide stakeholders through grid integration requirements and technical constraints

• Collaborate in an international environment working on Europe-wide energy transition challengesIf you’re strong in HV engineering or power systems and want broader responsibility — particularly exposure to HVDC and full-system planning — we’d be glad to speak with you.
