Junior Engineer Marine and Island coordination
We ARE Renewables is currently looking for a Junior Engineer Marine to help developing and building a new grid infrastructure, i.e., offshore transmission infrastructure and cables, in the Belgian part of the North Sea.
The targeted capacity to connect is a maximum of 3.5 GW. The project purpose is to create an energy hub in the form of an artificial island not only to provide an efficient, reliable means of connecting new Belgian offshore power to the mainland, but also to make optimal use of the power production areas in other parts of the North Sea by accommodating a connection point for (hybrid) interconnectors. The Belgian energy island will therefore contribute to the development of a meshed network at sea that will adequately distribute the offshore production among the different consumption centers according to their needs.
