Base Design Maintenance Coordinator

The opportunity  
HVDC Base Design is the team that creates and maintains the foundation of our HVDC stations. We develop the drawings and modular building blocks that every HVDC project relies on. In this role, you will be the one driving their maintenance and continuous improvement. 

You take ownership of our base modules and layouts, ensuring they stay up to date as technology, quality insights and project needs evolve. You will manage the maintenance of released modules, support tender teams with a solid design baseline, and guide what should be added, removed or updated as lessons are learned. You will also play an important role in shaping and improving our design processes — making sure they support efficient ways of working, clear responsibilities and high-quality outcomes across projects. 

If you enjoy combining technical insight, coordination and continuous improvement, this is a chance to make a real impact on how our HVDC solutions are built.
