HV Lead Specialist – Nedstyring

Imagine a future where your expertise keeps high-voltage transmission assets operating safely and reliably, enabling renewable energy to reach millions of homes and businesses.

You'll be part of the Nearshore Transmission & HV Team where you, together with your colleagues, will operate, maintain, and improve high-voltage networks supporting offshore wind assets. The role is primarily office-based with occasional site working, giving you the space to plan effectively while staying close to operational delivery when projects need it.

As a team, we put safety first, share knowledge openly, and work together to solve complex technical challenges that keep renewable energy moving.

You'll play an important role in

• providing specialist HV support for planned and reactive work across nearshore transmission assets
• carrying out, reviewing, and supporting switching activities on high-voltage equipment up to 400 kV
• preparing, checking, and approving switching schedules, safety documentation, work procedures, and technical instructions
• supervising and supporting internal colleagues, contractors, and working parties involved in HV activities
• contributing to safe, compliant, and reliable operations in line with Ørsted Electrical Safety Rules and grid requirements
• sharing knowledge and helping colleagues develop their HV capability through guidance, coaching, and practical support.

To succeed in the role, you

• have senior authorised person experience at 400 kV, or comparable high-voltage authorisation with strong transferable experience
• have a technical qualification in electrical engineering, high-voltage engineering, or equivalent experience
• have experience working with transmission, generation, offshore wind, renewable energy, or similar safety-critical HV environments
• understand HV switching, safety documentation, isolation, earthing, and safe systems of work
• take a structured, safety-focused approach to technical problem-solving and operational delivery
• communicate clearly with colleagues, contractors, and stakeholders, and enjoy supporting others to work safely and effectively.

Maybe you've read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don't quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
