Project Engineering Manager

Overview

Lead the engineering execution of assigned HVDC projects from kickoff through design, execution, commissioning support and closeout, ensuring technical delivery meets customer requirements, contract scope, quality standards, budget and schedule.

What you'll do

• Lead the engineering execution of HVDC projects and associated AC scope across all technical disciplines.
• Own the overall engineering delivery plan, including scope, schedule, interfaces, risks and resource coordination.
• Ensure engineering activities are executed in accordance with project milestones, contractual requirements and company processes.
• Drive cross-functional collaboration between system, electrical, civil, mechanical, protection and control, commissioning and supply chain teams.
• Serve as the main technical escalation point for project engineering matters.
• Coordinate development and integration of key HVDC system components, including converter transformers, valves, AC/DC yard equipment, harmonic filters, reactive power compensation equipment, control and protection systems, cooling systems and auxiliary systems.
• Manage technical interfaces between converter stations, transmission systems, grid operators and third-party suppliers.
• Ensure engineering consistency across disciplines and between home office, site and external stakeholders.
• Review and approve key design documents, calculations, specifications and technical deliverables.
• Act as the primary engineering contact for the customer, consultant and key external stakeholders.
• Lead technical discussions, design reviews, interface meetings and engineering progress meetings.
• Support clarification of technical requirements, deviations and change requests.
• Present engineering status, risks and mitigation plans to project leadership and customers.
• Develop and maintain the engineering execution schedule in alignment with the overall project schedule.
• Monitor engineering progress, identify delays and implement recovery plans where needed.
• Support project cost control through efficient engineering planning and change management.
• Identify technical risks and opportunities and lead mitigation actions.
• Manage design changes, technical queries and engineering impacts on procurement, construction and commissioning.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable standards, grid codes, customer specifications and regulatory requirements.
• Promote quality in engineering deliverables and adherence to review and approval processes.
• Support design-for-safety and constructability reviews.
• Ensure lessons learned and continuous improvement practices are applied across projects.
• Support factory testing, site activities, energization and commissioning phases from an engineering perspective.
• Provide technical support for issue resolution during installation and commissioning.
• Coordinate engineering closeout activities, as-built documentation and final technical handover.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering or a related discipline.
• Significant experience in power transmission, substation or HVDC engineering.
• Proven experience managing multidisciplinary engineering teams on complex infrastructure or energy projects.
• Knowledge of HVDC systems.
• Experience in project engineering execution, design coordination and customer-facing technical leadership.
• Familiarity with international standards, utility specifications and grid integration requirements.
• 10+ years of experience in power system, transmission, substation or HVDC engineering.
• Demonstrated experience delivering complex high-voltage or grid infrastructure projects.

Nice to have

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience with large EPC projects in transmission, substations, FACTS or HVDC.
• Experience working in global, multicultural engineering environments.
