Electrical Engineer

You will carry out earthing design and electrical engineering studies, as well as review technical designs from the owner's perspective. Depending on the project phase, your work may begin with gathering input data and continue through calculations and engineering solutions to reviewing studies prepared by others.

Your responsibilities may include, for example:

• earthing design and related calculations

• touch and step voltage assessments and investigations of electrical engineering issues related to crossings

• obtaining and evaluating information on underground utilities and structures, fault current data and other engineering input data

• reviewing and commenting on electrical engineering designs and studies as an owner-side technical advisor

• other electrical engineering studies, such as load assessments, depending on your expertise and project needs.

You will work together with specialists in project development, overhead line and substation engineering, and other project disciplines. The important part is not only carrying out the technical assessment, but also understanding what the results mean for the engineering and execution of the project.

In addition to project work, you will contribute to developing CFE's working practices for earthing design and touch and step voltage assessments. This may include developing calculation, review and reporting practices, as well as sharing expertise with the rest of the team. The scope of your development responsibilities will be tailored to your experience.

We are looking for someone with a relevant electrical engineering education and practical experience in earthing design, touch and step voltage assessments, or related power system calculation and engineering tasks.

Earthing and hazardous voltage assessments may already be your area of expertise, or you may have worked with them as part of broader electrical engineering responsibilities. You do not need to have experience in every task mentioned in this job description. What matters is a sufficient technical foundation, the ability to make well-founded engineering decisions and an interest in developing your expertise in this field.

Your background may be in an engineering or consulting company, a grid company or other technical expert roles within energy and electrical infrastructure.

We value the ability to assess whether the available input data is sufficient, identify key technical issues and clearly communicate the significance of the results to clients and the wider project team. A willingness to develop shared working practices and share your expertise is also important in this role.

We work with Finnish and international clients and partners, so good Finnish and English language skills are required.

• overhead line, substation or grid connection projects

• electrical engineering calculation and design software

• working as an owner-side technical advisor or reviewing engineering designs

• developing engineering, calculation or quality assurance practices.

The focus and level of responsibility will be agreed based on your expertise. You will have the opportunity to deepen your technical specialisation and gradually take responsibility for broader engineering and technical assessment scopes.

Technical expertise remains at the core of your work

You will carry out engineering designs and technical studies yourself, as well as evaluate technical solutions. The role combines understanding input data, performing calculations and applying the results to practical project challenges.

You see beyond your own area of responsibility

The same electrical engineering issue may arise during an early feasibility study, when selecting an engineering solution or when reviewing a design prepared on behalf of the owner. At CFE, your work is not limited to a single project type or project phase.

You work for the owner's objectives

CFE acts as an independent owner-side technical advisor. We do not sell equipment or construction contracts. We evaluate alternatives and technical solutions from the perspective of the client's project objectives.

You can influence how the work is done

We are strengthening our in-house expertise in earthing design and touch and step voltage assessments. In this role, you will help develop how these services are delivered at CFE. We operate in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, and we continuously develop our ways of working.

You won't work alone

Our projects bring together specialists in overhead lines, substations, grid connections, project management, site supervision and safety. You will work alongside them and contribute your electrical engineering expertise to the wider project team.

Practical information

Our offices are located in Oulu, Kuopio and Vantaa. We work flexibly from our offices, remotely and at project sites. Other locations may also be possible depending on the role and the practical needs of the projects.

Location: Oulu / Kuopio / Vantaa / negotiable

Travel: The role includes site visits, but most of the work is carried out at the office or remotely.
