Currently we have an opening for an Electrical Safety Manager, who will be having the ultimate responsibility for the safety of all electrical installations works which are managed by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Benelux.
These installations are a vital part of on- and offshore wind farms with voltages varying from 10kV-33kV in the Wind Park and going up to 110kV-220kV in sub stations that connect the park to the grid. The wind turbines themselves work with voltages between 240V and 690V.
In order to guarantee the safe use of the LV/HV installations, the works we perform on installations must comply with the statutory provisions described in NEN 50110 and AREI.
You ensure that the works performed on the electrical infrastructure of a Wind Park is performed in full compliancy with all legislations and the in- and external regulations. This includes setting up a "(electrical) safe system of work”.
You advise and support the sales and acquisition departments in setting up new contracts for the clauses related to electrical safety. A seamless transition from construction works to service period must be guaranteed (e.g. defining a Safe System of Work for the so-called bridging period).
What are the key responsibilities associated with the job?
1. Ensuring that work on installations can be carried out safely in accordance with the job responsibilities of the work responsible.
2. Ensuring the safe operation of LV/HV installations in accordance with the applicable regulations and standards.
3. Managing the safe work within LV/HV installations and guaranteeing safe working according legislation and SGRE procedures.
4. The development and approval of work and switching-plans.
5. Supervising the execution of works.
