Senior Electrical Engineer

Descrição do cargo

Industrial electrical engineering at its best is not just about getting the calculations right. It is about understanding what a project actually needs, translating that into a design that works in the real world, and delivering it in an environment where multiple disciplines are depending on your output. If that is how you approach your work, this role is built for someone like you.

The scope is broad and genuinely varied. Emergency power systems, lighting, motors and drives, earthing, lightning protection, short-circuit analysis, load flow studies, and cable sizing all fall within your remit depending on the project.

You will be the engineer that translates client requirements into practical, optimised technical solutions. That means getting into the detail across all project phases, producing quality documentation, providing sound technical advice, and working alongside other disciplines to make sure the electrical design integrates cleanly into the wider project. The work contributes directly to emission reduction, energy savings, and operational safety improvements in demanding industrial environments including waste processing and steel manufacturing.

You will have the flexibility to work from client sites or from the company's modern, well-equipped office depending on project requirements and your own preference.

Company Information

Our client is a well-established Dutch engineering consultancy operating across industrial and energy sectors from offices in Amsterdam, Schiedam, and Antwerp. They work across the full project lifecycle from front-end engineering through to procurement and construction management, serving clients in energy, chemicals, pharma, food, and building-related installations. The electrical engineering team operates within a modern 3D multidisciplinary environment where pragmatic thinking, broad technical knowledge, and a genuine commitment to sustainable industrial solutions define how they work and what they deliver.

Vacancy Information
