You will work closely with network planners and project managers in planning and engineering transformer and switchgear stations in the 12–420 kV range, from early planning stages through to completed request for proposal (RFP) documentation for contractor procurement. The assignment encompasses everything from general assessments to detailed geotechnical and infrastructure studies and evaluation materials. You will be part of a project group led by a network planner or project manager depending on the project phase, and will collaborate with Ellevio's permitting specialists (nature/cultural environment and permits) as well as network planners working on 3D modeling of station layouts. The objective is to collectively ensure that the selected station location is technically feasible, cost-effective, and maintains an acceptable risk level from land, environmental, and infrastructure perspectives. Scope of Work As specialist support to network planners and project management, you will work on, among other things: Land, environmental, and foundation conditions Development of evaluation materials on environmental matters Constructability assessments Risk assessments related to geotechnics, hydrogeology, and environment Cost and implementation impacts of different location alternatives Outdoor switchgear stations typically include a control building, foundations for switchgear frames and equipment, oil sumps for transformers, stormwater and drainage solutions, road construction, and fencing and safety measures – all components must be considered within the assignment. Implementation in Three Stages Each stage is documented in a written memo with examined alternatives, technical prerequisites, identified risks and uncertainties, advantages and disadvantages, cost estimation, and recommended alternative. Stage 1 – General Screening Early assessment of suitable station locations together with network planners: map studies (e.g., SGU), site visits and visual inspections, and general assessment of geotechnical, environmental, and hydrogeological conditions. Stage 2 – In-Depth Verification Technical assurance for continued engineering, through leading and interpreting results from, for example, probe drilling (STI), groundwater wells, test pits, and environmental site assessment (MTU) – you do not need to perform all tasks yourself.
