Technical Jobs in the Energy Sector

The energy sector is in full motion. The Netherlands has ambitious goals for offshore wind, hydrogen infrastructure and grid reinforcement. Projects that were still on the drawing board five years ago are now under construction or in commissioning.

As a result, the demand for technical specialists is growing quickly, and supply is not keeping up with the pace.

Jobs in the energy sector are technically demanding. You work on installations with high safety requirements, in teams where the client, EPC contractor and suppliers work together towards the same deadline.

Sector knowledge is the minimum. Understanding the environment makes the difference. STAR works for clients such as TenneT, Gasunie, Vattenfall and 50Hertz. Through STAR, you join projects that make the energy transition concrete.

What You Do as a Technical Specialist in the Energy Transition

The energy sector consists of three main areas:

  1. Energy generation
    Offshore wind, onshore wind, solar, hydrogen, biofuel and waste-to-energy.
  2. Energy transmission and storage
    Pipeline networks, LNG terminals, hydrogen networks and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
  3. Energy distribution
    Transmission networks, grid reinforcement and regional grid connections.

Typical assignments include commissioning at an offshore transformer station, project controls for a grid reinforcement programme, HSE support at a hydrogen installation or construction management at an energy terminal. You work for asset owners, EPC and EPCm contractors and engineering contractors.

The disciplines most often requested in the energy sector are:

Commissioning Engineer
Project Manager
Package Manager
Electrical Engineer
I&C Specialist
Offshore Engineer
HSE Specialist
Operations Readiness Specialist

Through STAR, you can work on projects such as:

  • TenneT 2GW Programme at the Maasvlakte
  • 50Hertz Baltic Eagle Offshore Wind Farm in Germany
  • EemsEnergyTerminal by Gasunie and Vopak in Eemshaven

Assignments range from engineering and construction to commissioning and operational start-up.

Energy Jobs Throughout the Netherlands and Belgium

The energy transition is taking place throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.

Grid reinforcement programmes run from Friesland to Antwerp. Offshore wind projects are connected to ports. Hydrogen projects are concentrated around Rotterdam and Groningen.

Regional grid operators across the provinces have ongoing assignments for specialists in planning, execution and quality assurance. STAR is active nationwide and also has international assignments in Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Sweden.

Working Through STAR in the Energy Sector

How you work is your choice. You can work through secondment, as a self-employed professional or through a secondment-to-permanent arrangement. STAR discusses with you what the best option is for your situation.

 

What You Get Through STAR

You work for a market-standard salary, with clear agreements about what you receive. You are informed early. Our consultants know the programmes of TenneT, Gasunie and 50Hertz from the inside. They know when capacity is needed and what a client is specifically looking for in a specialist.

Your career is actively guided. STAR looks beyond the next assignment:

Which direction fits your profile?
Do you want to move towards an asset owner?
Or would you rather stay with an EPC contractor?

We look honestly at your situation and the market. If the timing is not right, we will say so.

STAR has a network of more than 60,000 specialists. Consultants stay in active contact based on your profile and availability. If there is a match, you will be the first to hear.

For international assignments, STAR takes care of all administration and compliance, so you can focus on the work. View the open vacancies in the energy sector or sign up for a job alert. You will receive a notification as soon as something matches your profile and region.
