R&D Team Lead
At ABB Marine & Ports, we are leading the transition toward a more sustainable maritime industry. To remain the partner of choice for our customers, we focus on delivering sustainable solutions—not only in our technology but also in how we operate as a business. As our customers increasingly demand greater efficiency, safety, and reliability, we are continuously challenged to innovate and evolve our technology and operations.
Are you ready to power the future of marine technology with your electrical engineering skills?
We are currently seeking a Senior Project Engineer to join our Marine & Ports Onboard AC Grid team. The team is mainly focusing on projects with an AC 6,6 or 11 kV main distribution. This is typically larger vessels with higher power requirements. We also specialize in conversion of power plants to be able to operate in DP3 with closed bus. Here we are in the forefront of the industry.
The position can be based at either our Ulsteinvik or Fornebu office.
What We Can Offer
Young at ABB: A vibrant community for employees under 35.
About The Role
We are looking for a Senior Project Engineer with expertise in power production, distribution and power system protection.
You will play a key role in engineering and managing project deliveries of varying size and complexity. This includes close coordination with shipyards, shipowners, class societies, ABB factories, and subcontractors. You will also collaborate with ABB service and commissioning engineers—and may even take part in commissioning activities yourself, if desired.
Key Responsibilities
What We’re Looking For
To succeed in this role, you should have at least five years of experience in designing electrical power systems. While a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering is preferred, we also welcome applications from experienced ship electricians with relevant commissioning and engineering backgrounds.
Our ideal candidate will have a strong background in switchboard operations, programming of protection relays, and a solid understanding of power system dynamics and power generation. Experience with different power system studies is also relevant.
You should be able to effectively combine practical skills with theoretical knowledge. Proficiency in English, both spoken and written, is essential. Given that ABB Marine & Ports is a multicultural workplace with colleagues and clients from diverse national and cultural backgrounds, cultural awareness and mutual respect are fundamental requirements.
Why join us?
At ABB, we offer both technical and personal development opportunities in a positive, innovative, and international environment. You’ll join a team of passionate professionals working on some of the most exciting projects in the marine industry. We value professional growth, collaboration, and a supportive workplace culture—where you’ll be welcomed as part of the ABB family.
Ready to take the next step in your career?
We are looking forward to receiving your application and CV through the ABB job portal by February 1, 2026. If you have any questions, contact Jonas Loe Kvalberg, Engineering Manager - Electrical Solutions, phone: +47 480 03 6327.
