Fulltime | The Hague | EMEA
Still passionate about commissioning, but ready to spend more evenings at home?
You know the feeling. You are commissioning an electrical installation, everything should work, but something doesn’t add up. A protection system isn’t responding as expected, test results are inconsistent, or a technical issue is preventing the project from moving forward. What if you could use all that field experience to solve these challenges, without spending most of your working life travelling?
As a member of our new team as a Commissioning Engineering Consultant, you will be based at our Center of Competence for Datacenters in The Hague. You will support commissioning engineers working on projects across EMEA and become one of the specialists they turn to when things get technically complicated.
Most of the time, you will solve those challenges from our office in The Hague. So yes, on a normal working day you will be home in time for dinner.
But when a critical issue can’t be solved remotely, we need you to be flexible. That could mean packing your bag today and flying to a project somewhere in EMEA tomorrow. Therefore you will need to have an EU passport and drivers license.
Less time living out of a suitcase. Still there when it really matters.
What will you be doing?
You will join a team of 5 specialists supporting our international commissioning organization. Together, you make sure our engineers on site have the technical expertise they need to successfully commission our power distribution solutions.
Your responsibilities include:
- Troubleshoot complex issues in electrical power distribution and protection systems.
- Guide engineers working on projects across EMEA remotely through fault finding, electrical testing and complex technical situations.
- Travel to a project site at short notice when an issue cannot be resolved remotely.
- Prepare commissioning test plans & scripts and help engineers approach testing and commissioning efficiently.
- Review commissioning results, identify recurring technical issues and turn lessons learned into process improvements.
You are not there to take over every problem from the engineer on site. You help them understand what is happening, find the root cause and get the installation up and running.
What do you bring?
We are looking for someone who knows commissioning from hands-on experience. You remain calm when an engineer calls you with a problem and you enjoy digging into the technical details until you understand the root cause.
You bring:
- An MBO 4 or Bachelor-level qualification in Electrical Engineering, or a comparable technical background.
- 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in commissioning electrical power distribution systems.
- Experience with electrical testing and troubleshooting of power distribution systems.
- Experience with DIGSI 5 and SCADA systems is an advantage.
- A practical, hands-on and solution-oriented mindset.
- Good communication skills in English.
- Flexibility to travel within EMEA at short notice when a technical situation really requires your presence on site.
Most importantly, you don't stop until you know what the problem is. You want to know why it happened and how to solve it.
What do we offer?
You get the technical challenges and international environment of commissioning, but with much more stability in your working week.
You can expect:
- A fulltime position based in The Hague.
- A gross monthly salary of approximately €4,500 to €6,000 based on 40 hours, depending on your experience and background. All together with the benefits the maximum is €90.000 bruto per year.
- A Benefits Budget of 22.63% on top of your monthly gross salary, including 8% holiday allowance and a 13th-month benefit.
- Hybrid working, with The Hague as your home base and occasional international travel. You get extra allowances when you go abroad for example €100 euro a night you are away.
- Participation in our share program.
- A buddy to help you get started.
- Opportunities to develop your technical expertise and grow your career.
- An annual health budget of €150 for personal health goals such as exercise, nutrition and relaxation.
You can use your Benefits Budget for additional leave, extra salary payments or tax-efficient expenses such as a bicycle plan.
Ready for your next step in commissioning?
Maybe you still love commissioning, troubleshooting and solving difficult electrical problems, but you’re ready to leave the constant travelling behind.
This role gives you the chance to use everything you have learned in the field and become the specialist our commissioning engineers call when they get stuck.
Interested? We’d like to meet you.
We believe diversity creates more opportunities for success and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
Screening and an online assessment are part of the application process. Acquisition based on this vacancy is not appreciated.
