We value diverse perspectives, leadership potential, and a growth mindset just as much as specific industry experience.

Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field

Several years of experience driving complex international projects in a global industrial environment

Experience within GIS, substations, power transmission, energy infrastructure, or similar industries is highly valued

Being able to drive project delivery, stakeholder management, and customer engagement

Business and financial acumen with experience managing budgets, schedules, risks, and contracts

Ability to lead cross-functional teams and successfully navigate complex, multicultural project environments

Project Management certification (PMP, IPMA, or equivalent) is an advantage but not essential
