About this role
About Maritime
We help enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of our customers in the global shipping industry, covering all vessel types and mobile offshore units. As a partner to industry, we offer services in testing, certification, training, and technical advisory through the energy value chain. That means we’re continually investing heavily into R&D for new services and solutions while proactively assessing what the industry needs today and tomorrow.
Why Power System Modelling Matters
The offshore industry is already highly electrified, with safe and reliable operations dependent on robust power and control systems. As these systems become more complex, clients need highly competent partners who understand both electrical system behaviour and the demands of offshore operations. Power system engineering is therefore essential to supporting safe, efficient, and resilient assets.
We aim to support clients throughout their electrification journey, helping them assess system design, manage technical risks, and make informed decisions for both newbuild and retrofit projects. By combining power systems expertise with advanced modelling and simulation, we can evaluate how systems respond to load variations, faults, and changes in operating configuration, including common power system operation.
Strong competence in power system engineering, particularly in protection strategy development and protection coordination, strengthens our ability to advise clients on fault tolerance, blackout prevention, and regulatory compliance. We therefore value candidates who can translate sound engineering analysis into practical guidance and help clients navigate the challenges of offshore electrification.
