About
I get big batteries switched on, safely and on time.
Bio
I am an energy systems engineer. My job is to take a battery site from a signed contract to the day it first exports power, and to make sure that day holds no surprises. I have done that nine times, in six countries, for 1.4 GWh of storage.
I started in offshore wind, testing cables for a 54-turbine farm off the Norwegian coast, then spent three years designing protection for substations. That mix shaped how I work: I design with the site in mind, and I stay on site until the thing I designed is running.
Today I am Principal engineer at Tidemark Energy in Rotterdam, where I lead eleven engineers across design, commissioning and grid compliance. I am looking for a principal or lead role from March 2027, on storage or grid projects where the schedule matters and the standards are high.

How I work
01
The test comes first
I write the acceptance test before the design is frozen. If we cannot say how we will prove it works, we are not ready to build it.
02
Technicians are the customer
A procedure nobody on site can follow is a wrong procedure. I write with the people who will use it.
03
No quiet risks
If I see a risk, it goes in the log with an owner and a date the same day. Schedules survive bad news that arrives early.
Outside work
I sail a 26-foot boat that needs more maintenance than any battery I have worked on, and I am slowly learning to cook my grandmother’s recipes from memory.
