Digital Project Engineer

As a Digital Project Engineer at ABB in Switzerland, you will serve as the focal design authority for engineering disciplines, supporting local units on tenders, projects, and parts of projects. Your role is pivotal in ensuring engineering solutions meet contract specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements, while providing technical support throughout design, testing, installation, and commissioning. You will collaborate with global teams, contribute to engineering proposals, and share best practices to drive innovation in Electrification Distribution Solutions. This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact within a leading engineering organisation, working in a hybrid work model across the EMEA region.

• Provide technical support for engineering design, primary and secondary technical documentation, testing, and installation and commissioning procedures.
• Support local units in preparing tender and project documentation, participate in meetings, and resolve technical issues to meet contractual obligations.
• Drive innovation in engineering proposals, presentations, and planning, applying design verification checklists in line with applicable standards and engineering guidelines.
• Ensure engineering activities comply with safety regulations and contractual requirements, support technical risk assessments, and follow up on resulting actions.
• Escalate contract, safety, quality, schedule, or cost issues to Project Managers, and identify variation requests to support contract claims, subject to Project Manager approval.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Project Managers, and factories to ensure technical solutions are manufactured, staged, and tested appropriately.
• Coordinate with global Commissioning and Service teams to support correct installation and commissioning, update engineering deliverables after site activities, and share lessons learned.
• Lead efforts to share best practices and lessons learned across projects and disciplines, and identify process or tool inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.

• Demonstrate deep knowledge of MV/LV systems and system design, including Protection and Control, Automation, and Auxiliary systems, as well as eHouse and mobile solutions.
• Show expertise in MV switchgear and protection functions, and experience with switchgear engineering processes in an EPC engineering environment.
• Possess familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as IEC 61850 and MODBUS, control and automation software such as ZENON, and protection relays such as the REx family and SSC 600, or similar technologies.
• Have a sound understanding of data centre applications, including hyperscale and colocation environments.
• Bring experience with commissioning activities and quality procedures for FAT and SAT.
• Exhibit strong stakeholder-management skills and effective communication abilities to enable collaboration across functions, regions, and organisational levels.
