As a designer at Elia, you spend your days working on infrastructure projects, designing new facilities and modifying and extending existing substations. To this end, you conduct preliminary studies and, in line with your expertise (electrical/mechanical), devise detailed designs or draw up site and implementation plans. You use cutting-edge techniques and tailor your designs to the applicable safety rules.

You are adept at analysing wiring or mechanical diagrams of existing facilities, construction diagrams and standardised diagrams. You perform quality checks and take part in acceptance tests. Depending on your specialisation, you create designs for high voltages, low voltages, or cables and lines. Design your own career - Elia challenges you and gives you energy!
