Operating Engineer

The energy transition requires offshore assets that are safe, reliable and maintainable from day one. As an Operating Engineer Electrical Auxiliary & Automation, you contribute directly to this goal. You help ensure that new offshore grid connection assets are not only built and commissioned successfully, but can also be operated, maintained and handed over to Operations in a controlled and practical way.

This role connects two important worlds: international project execution at the yard and the future operational organization of TenneT in the Netherlands. During the first phase, you will work temporarily on site in Singapore/Batam as Site Inspector Electrical Auxiliary & Automation for the GSC portfolio. After this assignment, you will return to the Netherlands and use your project and yard experience within Operational Readiness Engineering – Offshore Netherlands in Arnhem.

Your contribution helps ensure that offshore grid connection assets are ready for safe, reliable and efficient operation from the moment they are taken into service.
