DNV is hiring a
DNV has carried out power failure and other non-conformity investigations since its inception over a century ago, and has since built up a wealth of experience in such investigations, as well as a structured approach taking all possibilities into account in our fully impartial and independent way. DNV performs failure investigations on both system and component level and investigations on components with degradation signs. Expertise is available for all power grid components like transformers, switchgear, (land and submarine) power cables, overhead lines, insulators, transmission towers, surge arrestors, capacitor banks, storage systems, rotating machines, secondary equipment, power system stability, earthing, protection, EMC, cyber security, etc. The combination of the various expertise areas is often required, as failures happen in a network where components are linked together and interact. This, together with our structured approach and our world class leading laboratory possibilities enables us to investigate each failure with the highest quality and highest chance to get to the actual root cause of the failure.
Are you the Senior Consultant with strong knowledge on electricity grid components (one or several/all) who is looking for a new challenge? Do you want to support DNV GL’s team of Power Failure Investigators to help our customers in the Energy sector? Then we have the job for you.
As a Senior Consultant Power Failure Investigation, you will act as the trusted senior advisor of our customers and support them by conducting and leading Power Failure Investigations, both on a component as a system level. This varies from small observed deviations on single grid components to large scale black-outs. The projects you will be part of will perform sit inspections, perform dismantling of components, study relevant information, conduct interviews, perform thorough analysis and deliver report and presentation on the root cause of the problem. Such investigations often involve a broad spread of expertise and skill, as well as very deep expertise in some areas. You will find this expertise within (or outside) DNV GL and lead the team towards a high quality result. You will also incorporate testing or other methods to collect further evidence. You will incorporate structure methods as well and visualization methods to bring the message to customers and possibly other involved parties (like insurance companies, investors, lawyer and court).
As senior consultant you will not only work within a team of professionals, you will be responsible for acquisition, management and execution of projects. Understanding our customers and their assets, being flexible and especially delivering high quality content are key characteristics of a Power Failure Investigation Consultant within our team. You will also support with business development as a selling consultant.
We’re looking for an enthusiast team player who understands the technical aspects of grids and components, as well as the business consequences of failures for our customers. Flexibility, analytical power and a creative, open but also critical mind are essential characteristics.
