Posting

Start Date:

05/12/2025

As a Quality & Technical Integration Expert, you will create and maintain the asynchronous technical framework that enables infrastructure projects to be carried out in the most qualitative, standardised and efficient manner possible. The term “asynchronous technical framework” refers to all technical documents and plans, also known as standards, which are made available to projects as a starting point and must be applied as far as possible.

When defining these standards, you will seek optimal technical solutions that, from a technical and economic standpoint, meet the needs of Elia, its customers and the market, and are in line with the development and maintenance of the electricity grid. You will take into account all relevant Elia strategies in terms of finance, the environment, safety, concepts, etc., as well as the available resources.

You will work closely with the technical expertise and maintenance departments, integrating safety considerations into all your thinking. You will join a team of Technical Experts specialising in Substations Electrical Works, focusing on the high‑voltage section.

More specifically, this role involves the following tasks and responsibilities related to your area of expertise (Substations Electrical Works – HV part):

• You deal with complex technical issues and operational feedback relating to your area of expertise, anchoring solutions in existing or new standards.
• You draft engineering guidelines: these documents will describe the instructions to be followed during the design phase and any missing intermediate steps to apply the standards created for greenfield situations (new installations) to brownfield situations (existing installations).
• You draft technical specifications for companies, including both general specifications and templates for specific specifications. In particular, you manage feedback on these specifications and act as the main point of contact for the various stakeholders involved in the realization of projects (contractors/entrepreneurs, project managers, project engineers, site managers, maintenance representatives, etc.). Based on input from these parties, you work to continuously improve these specifications.
• You collaborate with Purchasing on contractor qualification. This concerns the procedure that must be followed to undertake work for Elia as a contractor. As part of this procedure, the candidate contractor’s technical capabilities are assessed, among other factors. In addition to the companies’ technical qualification, you are also responsible for the technical certification of qualified contractors’ quality managers. These individuals’ knowledge of technical specifications is assessed by means of a test.
• You develop processes, templates and methods related to technical activities (e.g. study report template, development and monitoring of quality control processes for studies and execution, etc.).
• You share the experience you have gained with colleagues and project collaborators by offering support with their questions and providing technical training.
• You are responsible for communicating developments in technical standards in your area of expertise on a regular basis.
• Ensuring the management of technical standards and the corresponding tools required for the successful execution of projects.
• Ensuring that the organisation has the most advanced engineering tools for its infrastructure projects.

• You have a Master's degree (in Civil Engineering or Industrial Engineering) with a technical specialisation and an affinity with technical quality.
• You are bilingual in Dutch and French and have a good basic knowledge of English.
• You have good planning and organisation skills.
• You are team‑focused, customer‑oriented and able to work well with other services and departments.
• You are motivated to work on ongoing improvements.
• You have good communication and coaching skills.
• You have the ability to lead a team.
