R&D Bushings Engineer

In breve

The role of R&D Bushings Engineer is part of GE Vernova's international research and development team, focused on high‑voltage bushings that enable power transmission worldwide. The position sits within the Lead Professional band and contributes to the design, development and continuous improvement of these critical components, supporting both new product introductions and optimisation of the existing portfolio. Day‑to‑day activities include supporting the R&D Manager in shaping the R&D plan, performing advanced electric and magnetic field analyses and basic thermal studies, and taking part in gate‑review meetings for new technologies. The engineer will help create technical standards for engineering and manufacturing, engage with international R&D projects and standards committees, and drive cost‑out and quality root‑cause analyses. While work is carried out within established procedures, the role allows limited modification of processes when results meet quality, volume and timeliness criteria, and requires occasional judgement to propose alternative solutions for complex manufacturing challenges. The mandatory qualifications are an engineering university degree in Electrical Engineering and fluency in English. Candidates should possess specific knowledge of finite‑element methods and electrical design, and have a basic understanding of GE Vernova's business and product range. Desired personal attributes include strong oral and written communication, proven problem‑solving ability, and documented experience in planning, marketing and executing programs. Project‑management skills are required, with prior experience in project or production‑line management considered a plus. Additional attractive aspects of the position are the international collaboration environment, involvement in standard‑setting committees, and the opportunity to influence both new product development and the refinement of existing designs. The role offers a weekly schedule of 38.5 hours for non‑shift staff (38 hours for shift staff), a salary range of €42,300‑€63,500 gross per year, and eligibility for a variable bonus targeting 10 % of base pay. Employment is governed by the Chimico‑Farmaceutico national collective bargaining agreement, providing pension contributions (employer 2.1 %, employee 1.2 %) and medical coverage under the Faschim scheme, with optional supplemental insurance. What the role asks for: - Engineer university degree in Electrical Engineering - Fluent English - Knowledge of finite‑element methods - Knowledge of electrical design - Strong oral and written communication skills - Proven problem‑analysis and resolution ability - Documented project‑management experience - Project or production‑line management experience (nice‑to‑have)
