Ingénieur/e Electricité H/F

Electrical engineering specialist H/F

Renewables Global Business Unit (R-GBU) is supporting the Group to accelerate Renewables (RES) asset development with an EBIT around €1.1Bn. We count 4,000 employees and more than 50 nationalities across 20 countries. With an installed capacity of 32 GW across 4 Operational Areas, R-GBU manages a diversified portfolio of assets including Solar (3.5 GW), Wind (10.9 GW) and Hydro (17.7 GW) assets. Our ambition is to multiply by 2.6 our installed capacity with 80 GW in 2030.

He / She reports to the Head of the Electrical Engineering. His / Her responsibilities cover all the activities of RGBU in France and in each and every country where projects are developed built and operate.

The position is based in Paris or in Brussels and business trips overseas may be envisaged.

Other locations could be discussed. 

The missions of the Electrical engineering specialist is to support the Engineering Department of RGBU- HQ in all its activities related to the electrical design of Renewable power plants builder in France or overseas (WIND, SOLAR PV, BESS, HYDRO).

The Electrical engineering specialist works together with the other specialists of the Engineering Department (SCADA, Civil Work, Mechanical) and of the Techology Management Department (Performance among others) in order for ENGIE to propose solutions of utility scale power plants suitable to be connected on various power grids (Transmission Network & Distribution Network).

Responsibilities of the Electrical engineering specialist cover both the “operational” activities of ENGIE RGBU (i.e. project oriented activities aiming at constructing PV plants) and the “corporate” ones (non- project oriented activities aiming at maintaining the competitiveness of Engie RGBU on its markets)

The main responsibilities in the execution of His / Her missions are : Project oriented activities (non-exhaustive)

‐ Be informed of and apply Engie RGBU global QHSE standardsand Ethical chart in the projects He / She is involved in.

‐ Establish contacts with Utilities (or any governmental or private organisation). Proceed with the grid code requirement identification studies in order to collect the information that are necessary to elaborate the connection of the Renewable plants to the power grids. Gather, analyze and challenge the information collected during the grid code requirement identification studies or during the exchanges with the Network Operators . Proceed with the optimization or the adjustment of the designs of the Renewable power plants depending on the information collected.

Perform - or subcontract- the realization of, network calculation studies (by means of network calculation software) aiming at demonstrating the compliancy of the PV plant in regards of the information collected during the grid code identification studies.

‐      Perform - or subcontract- the realization of Preliminary Design, Basic Design and Detailed Design studies and including the following PV plant sub-systems:

• HV (up to 225kV) and MV (up to 33kV) grid connection substation
• HV and MV Over Head Lines
• HV and MV step-up transformer package
• Renewable power generation facilities (from primary source (either PV, Wind or else) and up to the HV or MV step-up substation facilities

‐      Perform – or supervise or review - the issuing of, all the deliverables associated to the completion of these Preliminary Design, Basic Design and Detailed Design studies.

‐      Perform - or subcontract or review- the realization of, the calculations notes that are necessary for the completion and the validation of the documents under Her / His responsibility.

‐ Establish – or subcontract or review - the realization of, equipment specifications and erection work specifications prior to launching of RFQs. Participate to the RFQ process up to the selection of the Vendors and the Subcontractors and contract signature.

‐ Pilot the Vendors and the Subcontractors during any subcontracted conception activities and construction activities of the projects.

‐ Support geographical aeras or any Engie RGBU partners during the Tendering phase and the Delivery phases of Renewable power plant projects.

‐    Work, together with the Yield & Performance Engineers and the Tendering Project Managers to carry out Preliminary Designs studies that must be submitted by Engie RGBU when participating to Tendering phases

‐ Work, together with the other specialists of the Engineering Department and Project Managers to carry out Basic Design and Detailed Design studies and that must be delivered by Engie RGBU when constructing PV plants.

‐      Work in a client oriented way on the projects He / She is involved in with strong sense of customer care.

Non-project oriented activities (non-exhaustive)

‐      Perform technical qualifications of key equipment (PV inverters, Wind turbine packages, BESS) as well as technical audit of key equipment Manufacturers’ factories and facilities.

‐      Perform normative watch.

‐      Perform technology watch as well as any activities (exhibitions, technical congresses, etc.) in order to:

• Identify and assess technical innovations (equipment, systems, electrical designs, etc.)
• Propose cost optimized technical solutions
• Anticipate market technical changes

‐   Update Engie RGBU technical guidelines and    documentation (specifications, procedure, etc.) according to REX (e.g. Lessons Learnt sessions). Set-up or participate to Lessons Learnt sessions

‐      Act as a technical expert in the field of the PV Electrical Engineering within the ENGIE group and, in this context, participate to joined technical meetings, reviews, work groups, etc.

‐      Develop her/his technical expertise in a proactive way.
