Senior Electrical Engineer

Drive real-world energy solutions by working hands-on with MV/LV systems, leading upgrades, troubleshooting complex challenges, ensuring compliance, and seeing your ideas through from engineering design to onsite implementation across diverse power plants worldwide.

BWSC – Ever better energy
Join us in our mission in building a world of sustainable energy and make a meaningful impact on the world of power generation and energy conversion.

BWSC is a leading player in the power generation industry, specializing in the service, operations, and maintenance of power plants. We are at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions, working closely with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and environmental stewardship sets us apart in the industry.

The position
You will work hands-on with MV/LV systems, including generators, transformers, switchgear, protection, UPS, and industrial installations, tackling a broad range of technical challenges across multiple power plants. 

The role blends office-based engineering with hands-on site work, including testing, surveys, troubleshooting, and project implementation. I also involves travelling to a wide range of sites around the world - approximately 60-80 days per year - providing a dynamic and varied work environment.

Within a larger engineering function, you will be part of a smaller, collaborative team where your expertise directly shapes solutions and gives you ownership of projects from concept to on-site delivery. At the same time, you will benefit from the wider network of colleagues for guidance, knowledge sharing, and professional growth. 

Your responsibilities include:

• Take ownership of engineering solutions for electrical modifications, system upgrades, and equipment replacements.
• Ensure technical specifications are accurate and support procurement decisions for generators, transformers, switchgear, and spare parts.
• Oversee supplier documentation and ensure all work complies with applicable standards and requirements.
• Provide expert troubleshooting and technical guidance for operating plants, both remotely and on-site.
• Conduct and oversee electrical surveys, inspections, and condition assessments to maintain system reliability.
• Lead and participate in FAT, SAT, and on-site testing in collaboration with suppliers and OEMs.
• Contribute technical insight to sales, tender processes, and early project proposals.
• Maintain and update electrical documentation to ensure accuracy and accessibility.

Qualifications
We are looking for a dedicated electrical engineer who takes initiative, enjoys tackling diverse technical challenges, and thrives in a role where your expertise directly shapes real-world solutions.

We foresee that the ideal candidate has:

• Bachelor or master's degree in electrical Power/Systems Engineering, or Marine Engineering with electrical background.
• Strong experience with MV/LV systems, including generators, transformers, switchgear, protection, and UPS.
• Practical understanding of electrical installations in power plants, industrial facilities, PtX, or similar technical environments.
• Experience with troubleshooting, testing, commissioning (FAT/SAT), and field engineering.
• Ability to take ownership of projects and follow solutions from concept through on-site implementation.
• Comfortable with frequent travel (up to 60–80 days/year) and working on diverse sites worldwide.
• Experience with technical documentation, preparing specifications, and ensuring compliance with standards and requirements.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues, suppliers, and OEMs.
• Strong communication skills and proficiency in MS Office and general IT tools.
• Ability to contribute to tender processes, early technical proposals, and sales support.

Bonus qualifications:

• Experience with BESS, PV systems, or hybrid energy systems.
• Familiarity with electrical safety principles and protection systems.
• Experience working in fast-paced, multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What do we offer?
By joining BWSC, you get the chance to impact and contribute to meaningful projects that promote sustainability and environmental responsibility.
