Systems manager

re of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• Technical Governance

  • Ensure consistent and high-quality delivery of system-level engineering deliverables, including performance studies, specifications, models, and integration plans.
  • Oversee system architecture and technical interfaces between disciplines (e.g., control, primary, secondary, software, and protection).
  • Provide guidance and review for project-critical design decisions, ensuring technical compliance with standards and customer requirements.

• Project & Portfolio Execution

  • Support bid and project execution phases by defining system-level concepts and integration strategies.
  • Collaborate with global engineering teams, project management, and supply chain to ensure smooth system integration and handover to commissioning.
  • Drive design standardization, digital engineering tools, and best practices across HVDC, FACTS, and ACS domains.

• People & Capability Development

  • Build strong succession and competency plans for all Systems Engineering subfunctions.
  • Promote talent growth through coaching, technical training, and cross-project exposure.
  • Attract and retain high-performing engineers with a focus on diversity and inclusion.

• Stakeholder Management

  • Partner closely with NPI, Tendering, and Regional teams to ensure alignment on technical strategy and resource deployment.

  • Represent Systems Engineering in internal and external technical forums, customer meetings, and audits.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical or Power Systems Engineering (or related discipline). PhD preferred.

• 15+ years of experience in system-level engineering for power transmission projects, preferably including HVDC and FACTS systems.

• Proven leadership experience in managing engineering teams or functions in a matrix, global organization.

• Deep understanding of system studies (load flow, transient stability, harmonics, EMT), control and protection concepts, and system integration challenges.

• Strong communication and influencing skills across multi-disciplinary and multicultural environments.

• Demonstrated ability to drive standardization, process improvement, and innovation.

Desired Characteristics

• Experience in large EPC environments.

• Familiarity with industry standards (IEC, IEEE, CIGRE).
