Your impact

The energy industry, particularly transmission grids, is undergoing major changes to accommodate for regional and global decarbonization and energy transition targets. HVDC technology in particular is increasingly becoming a major player in this energy paradigm shift to enable large-scale renewable energy generation, such as offshore wind or large interconnectors.

As an Engineer – HVDC, you will closely work with regional and global HVDC and power transmission experts within Jacobs to support and / or lead ongoing HVDC related projects as well as business development and proposal support with a variety of clients including renewable developers, transmission owner / developers as well as utilities.

Knowledge of the offshore wind market will also be seen favorably.

We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices / projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.
