The opportunity
Do you want to enable green energy transition and together with colleagues build customized embedded control systems consisting of both software and hardware to meet our customers and the worlds needs for sustainable energy
We are convinced that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology solutions for energy transfer with direct current at high voltages is a long-term sustainable solution. The technology is used for energy transmission over long distances and to connect electricity networks with minimal losses. In addition to energy transfer HVDC technology also alleviates electricity quality problems and can contribute to the stabilization of connected power grids. For offshore wind power or long-distance underwater transmissions direct current is the only realistic energy transmission alternative.
In this role as a cybersecurity professional in HVDC you will be a part of a department which is responsible for the design of our automation system of the plants and transmissions. We design our control cabinet layout consisting of hundreds of circuit boards for measurements control and calculations. Our system also includes user interfaces such as HMI (Human Machine Interface) diagnostic tools and IT (Information Technology) infrastructure and IT security. For this we utilize our in house developed real-time platform MACH to meet the power industrys standards.
We value your potential and personal commitment equal to experience so do not hesitate to send your application even though you dont meet all the requirements. A team with fantastic collaboration and with different backgrounds is waiting for you to join!
This is mainly an office based role and based in central Glasgow. Please note we are unable to provide visa support on this position.
