Secondary Design Engineer 80 – 100% (f/m/d) Nouveau
The opportunity
We are looking for a Secondary Design Engineer to join our GIS engineering team. In this role, you will support the execution of secondary engineering deliverables for high-voltage GIS projects, including Local Control Cabinet (LCC) and digital substation applications. You will contribute to engineering documentation across project phases and help deliver high-quality, standard-compliant results while building your expertise in secondary design engineering and tools such as Zuken E3.
How you’ll make an impact
- Prepare schematics and related engineering documents for GIS secondary engineering scopes, including LCC and digital substation applications
- Support engineering execution across project phases, from base design and detail design through manufacturing documentation and as-built updates
- Create preliminary BOMs, reports, and manufacturing documents using approved engineering tools and standard processes
- Perform structured self-checks and contribute to technically correct, high-quality, and standard-compliant deliverables
- Support technical clarifications with internal stakeholders, project teams, and factories, and help document and close open points
- Contribute to continuous improvement, standardization, and engineering best practices, including participation in relevant expert communities
- Apply internal guidelines, engineering standards, and quality requirements while supporting safe and efficient project execution
Your background
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
- 2-3 years of professional experience in secondary engineering, design engineering, or project engineering is expected
- Practical experience with engineering tools such as Zuken E3 or comparable ECAD / engineering tools is required
- Basic knowledge of GIS, secondary engineering principles, and applicable standards such as IEC, IEEE, or ANSI is beneficial
- Structured and reliable way of working, willingness to learn, and ability to collaborate across functions and disciplines
