• You work closely with internal project teams (mechanical, site, design), the Project Manager, and external partners.
• You interpret and assess electrical diagrams and cable calculations (including in Caneco) and provide solutions where necessary.
• You ensure compliance with ATEX regulations in all relevant project phases.
• You support projects related to process installations (for example, battery-related projects such as anode).
• You work from the transformer level, focusing on low voltage and possessing basic knowledge of high voltage.
• You prepare technical specifications and tender documents, define and monitor project budgets, and track planning and milestones.
• You correctly interpret SIL, PL, and Exi calculations to ensure functional safety and compliance.
• You are willing to travel occasionally within Europe and Asia for project follow-up.
