Site Manager (High Voltage and Low Voltage) - Groningen

Safety is your domain. Location management your terrain. You ensure everything runs smoothly without any hiccups.

At Giga Storage, we are building the energy supply of the future. With large-scale batteries and smart IT solutions, we make the electricity grid more stable, sustainable, and efficient. In Delfzijl in Groningen, at the former site of the Aldel factory, we are currently building one of the largest battery storage parks in the Netherlands. There, we will be able to temporarily store over 300 megawatts of sustainable energy.

As a Site Manager at this unique location, you are the key contact for all technical and operational activities. Your main task: ensuring that work is carried out safely. No hands-on work, but full control. You work independently on-site, where you are the first point of contact for external parties.

What will you do?

• You develop switching and isolation programs and coordinate them with the Responsible Person for the Installation (RP’er).

• You coordinate the execution of technical work on-site (such as painting work on transformers or repairs).

• You grant access to restricted areas, organize work meetings, facilitate external visits, and ensure the safety and continuity of our installations.

• You are the main point of contact on-site and liaison for partners such as Tesla.

What does your day look like?

In the morning, you start by checking the schedule. Equans is carrying out painting work: you coordinate, align, ensure that steel plates are ready, and that work permits and safety measures are in place. Tesla is visiting? You grant access and monitor the agreements. You keep an overview – even when it gets busy.
