Work at the heart of the energy transition

Would you like to combine electrical engineering with renewable energy, hands-on testing, and international project work?

As a Power Systems Engineer – Grid Compliance & Testing at DNV, you will work directly with wind, solar and other power-generation projects, helping demonstrate that power plants can connect to the electricity grid safely, reliably and in accordance with applicable technical requirements.
