Senior Grid Connection Engineer MV/HV - Solar & BESS

ProfiNRG is one of the leading and most successful solar energy companies in the Netherlands, based in Utrecht. For over 10 years, we have been active in the development, sales, realisation and maintenance of large-scale solar energy systems within the C&I market and Utility market.

We develop large-scale solar parks and design and deliver integrated renewable energy solutions, including EV charging systems, batteries, solar panels and energy management systems.

Due to our international growth ambitions and the increasing technical complexity of our Solar and BESS projects, we are looking for a Senior Grid Connection Engineer MV/HV
.

As Senior Grid Connection Engineer MV/HV, you are responsible for the design, engineering and realisation of medium-voltage and high-voltage grid connection solutions for our Solar and BESS projects.

You work on projects from concept and feasibility through engineering, commissioning and handover. You translate customer requirements, grid operator requirements and project objectives into practical, safe and technically strong solutions.

This role requires direct experience with MV/HV grid connection engineering. We are looking for someone who understands substations, switch gear, transformers, protection systems, SLDs, grid interfaces and utility requirements in practice. The profile should be someone who already brings this knowledge and experience, not someone who still needs to learn the basics of the role.
