You thoroughly prepare maintenance activities, set priorities, and establish a clear planning. In the control room, you monitor assets in real time and maintain direct contact with the stakeholders and the TSO.
In care of failures or downtime, you help identify the cause and find quick solution. You keep the Operations & Maintenance procedures up to date with quality and HSE guidelines and manage work permits.
You ensure safety and quality in consultation with the QHSSE team and oversee compliance with the highest standards. You coordinate external service teams and safety measures.
You report to the Asset Lead Electrical.
Your profile:
You have a bachelor's degree in electrical/mechanical engineering or renewable energy technology.

You are a teamplayer with a high level of integrity.
You have strong judgment skills to make high-quality decisions.
You are proactive and hands-on.
Knowledge of SCADA & IT Systems is a plus.
