Do you want to take technical responsibility for requirements, grid integration and interfaces to suppliers and stakeholders in one of Denmark’s most critical energy infrastructure projects? The role has a primary focus on technical requirements, grid integration and interaction with suppliers and developers throughout the project lifecycle.

The Bornholm Energy Island is a key element in Denmark’s green transition and a cornerstone for enabling large-scale offshore wind power. Energinet has a central role as system operator and technical authority, with responsibility for defining technical requirements, ensuring compliance and safeguarding system-level interests.

A key technical role with responsibility across procurement and delivery

As Technical Lead, you ensure that Energinet’s technical requirements related to offshore wind grid connection are well defined, consistent and correctly reflected in tender material, contracts and technical specifications. You work closely with project management, legal, HVDC project teams and the technical line organisation, and you act as Energinet’s technical authority towards offshore wind developers, OEMs, consultants and other suppliers. Your main responsibility is to ensure that new grid connections are designed, connected and operated in a way that supports operations and ensures a robust power grid.

Your key responsibilities

• Overall technical responsibility for grid connection of offshore wind to the Bornholm Energy Island
• Definition and ownership of technical requirements and functional specifications for inverter-based systems
• Technical coordination and interface management with the HVDC project and other connected systems
• Ongoing technical dialogue and follow-up with offshore wind developers, OEMs, consultants and suppliers
• Assessment of technical solutions, compliance and risks across development and delivery phases

Your priority is maintaining technical consistency, documentation, and compliance across the entire project lifecycle as well as ensuring system stability and mitigating risks of control interactions. Providing technical input to decision material, governance forums and management discussions is also a part of the role.

“You can look forward to a technically influential role in a strategically important project with high visibility and significant societal impact. You will work in a supportive professional environment with experienced colleagues and a clear mandate to safeguard Energinet’s technical responsibilities.”
Sebastian Sørensen, Head of Department
