Graduate Electrical Engineer

Job Description Summary

The Graduate Electrical Engineer will be based on site in Singapore to support the TenneT 2GW Offshore Platform Project during the fabrication, installation, testing and commissioning phases. This entry-level role provides practical engineering development through direct exposure to a major offshore HVDC platform project supporting the energy transition.

Working closely with the Europe-based engineering team and the Singapore site execution team, the Graduate Electrical Engineer will support engineering coordination to help ensure that engineering intent is clearly communicated and effectively applied on site. This includes supporting the resolution of site execution issues, technical clarifications and discrepancies relating to engineering documents, drawings, specifications, revisions and interfaces.

With guidance from experienced engineers and site leaders, the Graduate Electrical Engineer will contribute to issue tracking, technical follow-up, document coordination and implementation support while learning GE Vernova’s documentation, engineering governance and change management processes.

This position offers broad exposure to HVDC engineering, electrical systems, installation practices, testing, commissioning and multidisciplinary offshore project execution.
