Team Lead Project Engineer Substations North-West

Function

 

A well-developed electricity grid is crucial to maintaining and strengthening Belgium’s prosperity, both for households and businesses.
This necessity is becoming even more important in the current context of the transition towards a low-carbon society, as well as in the geopolitical context of increased energy independence within Europe and beyond.

Elia plays an essential role as transmission system operator and developer of the high-voltage electricity grid.

More specifically, the Grid Projects North department is responsible for the realization of investment projects for the development of the high-voltage grid in Flanders. This includes projects for connecting industrial customers, reinforcing substations of distribution system operators, and strengthening the overall underlying transmission network.

The engineering and design activities related to investment projects in Flanders are regionally divided into the East and West portfolios. We currently have an open position for a Team Lead Project Engineer Substations North-West.

Our project portfolio will grow significantly in the coming years, with a strong focus on the rapid delivery of these projects for society, always with attention to cost efficiency and with safety as a top priority for all stakeholders involved.
