  • Lead and coordinate commissioning work on site

  • Ensure all systems are tested and ready for energisation

  • Participate hands-on in testing when needed

  • Work with protection systems, RTU and relay configurations

  • Inspect, document, and report commissioning results to the client

  • Act as the lead expert on site, supporting the wider project team

What we are looking for

  • Degree in electrical engineering or similar

  • Strong experience in substation commissioning or high-voltage testing

  • Hands-on experience with electrical testing equipment and procedures

  • Ability to lead work on site and take responsibility for delivery

  • Willingness to travel across Finland

Nice to have:

  • Experience with 110 kV GIS or 400 kV substations

  • Relay configuration experience

  • Experience from transmission grid projects (e.g. Fingrid)

  • Experience with Omicron testing equipment

What’s in it for you

  • Work on large-scale, high-impact energy infrastructure projects

  • Join a highly skilled and supportive team

  • Flexible working model with project-based travel

  • Opportunities to grow into senior or specialist roles
