Senior Station Engineer – Transformer Stations (with Project Lead Opportunity)

About the role

AFRY in Norway is looking for experienced specialists in transformer stations who want a central role in developing its work on station design, electromechanical design and cross-disciplinary planning of substations. The company is building a growing team in Norway, working on projects for Statnett and regional grid companies, and offers a mix of security in an established international company and the chance to shape direction and professional development.

The role can be adapted to your strength: you may focus mainly on primary installations, secondary/control installations, or take a more holistic approach. You will follow projects from early concept through detailed design and into construction support, depending on what suits you. There is also an option to become a project lead or discipline lead, responsible for technical quality and coordination across primary and secondary systems, civil works, cables and lines.

Key responsibilities

• Design and planning of substations in transmission and regional networks, including technical station design and electromechanical design
• Cross-disciplinary coordination and technical clarifications related to buildability and execution
• Dialogue with customers, suppliers and other disciplines, and participation in technical meetings, site visits and project follow-up
• For project leads: coordinate technical quality and cross-disciplinary alignment, often in complex projects for Statnett and regional grid companies

Required profile

• Solid competence in transformer stations, with experience in either primary installation design, secondary/control systems, or construction/buildability
• Good overall understanding of station projects and ability to collaborate closely with other disciplines
• Technically confident but curious, eager to contribute to the development of the profession
• Base preferably in Oslo or Trondheim, with flexibility for other locations

Required skills

• Primary installation design (AIS/GIS), layouts, grounding principles and high-voltage equipment
• Secondary and control systems, signal interfaces and technical quality assurance
• Buildability assessments and support during construction
• Knowledge of relevant standards such as Statnett requirements

What we offer

• A central role in critical infrastructure projects and the chance to shape a new profession
• An inclusive, supportive environment with good national and international development opportunities
• Flexible working arrangements and a high degree of trust
