Project Engineering Manager (f/m/d) – HVDC Portfolio

A Snapshot of Your Day 

As a Project Engineering Manager (f/m/d), you lead the project engineering team of major offer or execution projects for HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current converter) or a FACTS SynCon stations; you might also contribute to projects in the Power Plant or Hydrogen business.

The position involves the management of interfaces among the different disciplines and partner (internal and external), ensuring engineering deliverables are in quality and time, proactive management of engineering-related risks and opportunities and ensuring compliance with technical contract requirements and documentation standards, all contributing to the success of Siemens Energy’s business portfolio.

After aligning within the Project Management Team, including the General Project Manager and Commercial Project Manager, you engage in a vital discussion with the consortium partner to refine and clarify project requirements.

Following this, you conduct a status meeting with your international engineering team on the 3D-model, ensuring detailed coordination between disciplines and compliance with project requirements. You also conduct individual meetings with team members to address process and collaboration improvements.

The day wraps up with a productive discussion with Site Management, setting the focus for your upcoming Site visit next month.
