As an electrical engineer in the onshore wind engineering department, you will be involved in all technical aspects (electrical field) related to the construction of onshore wind power plants.

Responsibilities:

• Support for new onshore project development (early stage):
• Prepare connection study application forms.
• Create single-line diagrams (develop single-line diagrams of standard wind power plants using CAD, reflecting site-specific characteristics).
• Select routes for private transmission lines and collection lines (full-scale consideration will be done in the mid-development stage with the addition of specialist contractors).
• Create technical documents and hold discussions with power companies regarding grid connections.
• Research, evaluate, and implement new technologies and business opportunities.
