High Voltage Safety Specialist
Responsible for ensuring the safe operation, maintenance, and management of high-voltage electrical systems, including offshore substations, export cables, and wind turbine connections. They develop and enforce electrical safety procedures, conduct risk assessments, and implement safety measures to prevent electrical hazards such as arc flash, insulation failure, and grounding issues. This role involves training personnel on high-voltage safety, overseeing switching operations, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Their expertise is critical in protecting workers and equipment while maintaining the reliability of offshore wind power transmission.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of high-voltage (HV) and medium-voltage (MV) systems, including circuit breakers, transformers, and switchgear.
• Proficiency in electrical safety standards such as IEC 61936, NFPA 70E, and OSHA electrical safety regulations.
Additional Requirements:
• Experience with HV cable installation, grid connections, and offshore substation operations.
• Familiarity with safety procedures for high-voltage switching, isolation, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) practices.
• Offshore safety certifications (e.g., GWO High Voltage Safety Training, GWO Basic Safety Training) may be required.
• Ability to work in offshore environments and collaborate with engineers, technicians, and grid operators to ensure electrical safety and compliance.
