🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting stands out as a global leader driving decarbonization and sustainable business models, with a strong focus on the energy transition. Their UK operations are at the forefront of power systems innovation, particularly in offshore wind connections and grid modernization, offering a unique opportunity to work on high-impact projects that shape the future of energy.

About This Role

As Power Systems Lead, you'll provide technical leadership for complex power system studies and designs while shaping Ramboll's UK&I strategy for grid connections and renewable integration.

In the afternoon, you could be mentoring junior engineers on protection coordination studies while preparing a technical proposal for a new TSO framework agreement, before representing Ramboll at an industry working group on grid modernization.
