Location: Boston, MA
 
Our client is looking for a Electrical Systems Manager (ES) who has deep and comprehensive knowledge of and experience with onshore and offshore electrical low, medium & high voltage equipment. The ESM will ensure timely input into FEED for all contracts for the electrical scope and ensure this is optimized and working as one system throughout the wind farm (on- and offshore substation, onshore export cable route, inter-array cabling, wind turbine generators). The electrical systems lead is accountable for ensuring the entire the Project electrical system from WTG to grid connection is fully functional & optimized for all of the different components, systems and parts of the wind farm. This will require interface management with a number of stakeholders, including ISO’s, interconnecting utility, external contractors and project packages.
 
 
Key Responsibilities

• Responsible for fulfilling applicable technical grid code requirements to ensure that the wind farm can be connected to the grid.
• Actively challenge and interpret grid requirements.
• Working with external consultants, suppliers and contractors to conduct detailed engineering/studies where necessary.
• Plan and coordinate electrical engineering scopes as required to support, the pre-FEED, FEED, and detailed design review of the project.
• Manage external consultants, suppliers and contractors to conduct detailed engineering studies during pre-FEED, FEED, and detailed design phases.
• Provide input to discussions with industry partners that may impact the overall electrical performance of the offshore wind farm.
• Identify and highlight possibilities for improvements and actively pursue & implement them after alignment with the other project work packages.
• Ensure HSE is proactively managed with a focus on future design and activities and risk over the full lifecycle.
• Ensure risks and design decisions are managed effectively, ensuring project risks within the delivery & technical scope are assessed, managed and mitigated (and documented in risk register).
