Electrical Engineer (f/m/d) Secondary Technology and Auxiliary Systems Offshore
We are 50Hertz – one of the four transmission system operators (TSOs) in Germany. Together with the Belgian electricity grid operator Elia (Brussels), we form the internationally active Elia Group. At 50Hertz, more than 2,100 people work to ensure that electricity flows reliably, with low losses and optimal control over long distances at all times. As a TSO, we play a central moderating role in the realization of the energy transition from a social, technical and economic perspective. Our goal: By 2032, we want to integrate 100 percent renewable energy securely and affordably into the grid and system.
Innovative
We are driving the energy transition forward with pioneering technologies and creative solutions. We are already thinking about the day after tomorrow and are prepared to break new ground.
Diverse
We have people from different cultures and with diverse talents working together to achieve great things. We always see diversity in every dimension as an opportunity.
Responsible
We are responsible for ensuring a reliable supply of electricity and the sustainable expansion of the electricity grid. In order to master this task, it is a matter of course for us to take responsibility for one another.
Communal
Our strong community and respectful cooperation ensure the success of our mission. This is why we actively promote the individual strengths and interests of our employees and support their personal development.
As one of four transmission system operators in Germany, 50Hertz is responsible for electricity transmission at the highest voltage level; the level on which everything depends when it comes to grid stability and security of supply in Germany and Europe. We are part of a European grid network and cooperate directly with colleagues throughout Europe. Together with the Belgian grid operator Elia, 50Hertz forms a European company: the Elia Group. We work together intensively on key issues. Individual areas such as IT or purchasing are group functions, i.e. Elia and 50Hertz colleagues work in a joint team in workplaces spread across Berlin and Brussels.
Your tasks
- You will be responsible for secondary technology and auxiliary systems for offshore grid connections in offshore operations in the Baltic Sea and work as a specialist in routine operations and other projects.
- What makes the job interesting for you: As a transmission system operator in northern and eastern Germany, 50Hertz is responsible, among other things, for bringing all the offshore wind energy generated in the German Baltic Sea to land.
