About Energy Systems

We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

Are you looking for a job where you can be a trusted voice to tackle global transformations? Would you like to thrive in a dynamic, international environment with lots of exciting challenges every day? Do you want to be part of a team of skilled colleagues in a global organization where we work as one team?

We invite qualified engineers looking for opportunities to join our team in Renewables Certification.

Renewables Certification (RC) belongs to the business area Energy Systems and has the global responsibility for Type Certification (TC), Component Certification (CC), and Project Certification (PC) for Renewables. RC is the global market leader in the Renewables Certification market and is involved in 80% of Project Certification for offshore wind parks, including offshore substations, in the world.

We are looking for experienced Electrical Engineers with a strong profile and interest in working with renewable energy. There are two positions available within our Department for Offshore Substations: one with a primary focus on the certification of electrical installations for offshore substations and offshore converter platforms, and the other with a primary focus on the certification of electrical designs of subsea power cables. Given the significant overlap in technical competence, these two units work closely together within the Department, and there are opportunities to work across these assets depending on your interests. Similarly, there are also opportunities to work on the certification of electrical installations within wind turbine generator designs, although this is not the primary focus of these positions. This position is primarily for the Subsea Power Cables team, but we have one dedicated to the Offshore Substations team as well.

As an experienced Electrical Engineer , you will form part of a multidisciplinary team engaged in design, manufacturing, transportation & installation, and commissioning verification activities together with our structural, fire & safety, and E&I engineering teams located across our European offices (locations include Copenhagen, Esbjerg, Hamburg, and Oslo).

In this role, you will:

  • Cover all steps in the certification process from review of early designs to design verification, fabrication surveillance, transportation & installation, commissioning, and periodic inspection of installations in operation.
  • Some travel will be required within Europe, possibly further abroad, but such travel is usually flexible.

For more information, please contact: David Maloney, Head of Section for Subsea Cables,

We offer:

  • Working in a dynamic team with a varied and challenging field of duties
  • Great potential for knowledge transfer by experienced engineers in a wide range of fields
  • Working with the most experienced Developers, Designers, and Contractors in the world who are actively leading the Energy Transition
  • Hybrid working model
  • Flexible working hours, the weekly working time is 37 or 39 hours (depending on country)
  • Pension scheme
  • Life style benefits - various additional benefits depending on country
  • Wide range of opportunities for further education, training, and advancement
  • The opportunity to actively shape the energy transition through Joint-Industry Projects, Standards Development, and Technology Qualifications.

DNV is an Equal Opportunity Employer and gives consideration for employment to qualified applicants without regard to gender, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, cultural background, social group, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, age, or political opinion. Diversity is fundamental to our culture, and we invite you to be part of this diversity.

To be successful in this role you need to have:

  • Electrical Engineering degree (M.Sc) or equivalent
  • 4-5 years of relevant professional experience from a similar position, preferably from the consulting or engineering sector: oil & gas or renewable energy
  • Strong English skills (written and spoken)
  • Knowledge of relevant IEC standards and CIGRE Technical Brochures and ideally the essential criteria concerning subsea power cable design, testing, and manufacturing.
  • Ability to perform relevant spot checks or independent analysis of subsea cable electrical designs.
  • Experience with manufacturing and FAT surveys, or offshore installation witnessing, will be seen as positive.

As a person, you should be a team player with strong communication skills, able to keep a positive and proactive attitude, with a solution-oriented, pragmatic, and flexible mindset. It is crucial to have strong customer centricity and the ability to convey the added value of DNV services. Also, the ability to work in depth with assignments and having a good balance between detail and overview is key to succeeding in this role.
