Electricity & Electromechanics jobs at Pauwels Consulting

Work on substations, grid extensions, E&I systems and industrial automation — at top-tier clients like Elia, TotalEnergies, ArcelorMittal and Ineos.

Why Pauwels for electricity engineers

Three reasons electrical, automation and E&I engineers join — and stay.

Work where your work matters

Today a substation extension for Elia. Tomorrow an E&I project at TotalEnergies or a PLC roll-out for ArcelorMittal. 25-year track record, 5,000+ projects, 11 offices in Europe — and always a new challenge ready.

One contact. Free growth direction.

Your Talent Manager knows you and your career path. Pauwels Academy delivers masterclasses (Lean Six Sigma, Project Management, technical tracks). Want to grow to Principal without management? Possible. Prefer freelance? Also fine.

Fair pay. You decide.

Permanent contract or freelance. Company car, 12 extra holidays, hospitalisation and group insurance, eco-vouchers, bike leasing. Plus a strong say in which projects, technologies and locations match you.

"Design taught me to think in systems, how every piece fits together. That mindset still drives me today, whether I'm planning a chemical plant or coordinating construction."

What's holding you back?

How do I know the role fits me — not the same repetitive work?

We discuss upfront what type of project fits you (substation, automation, designs). Projects rotate every 6-18 months, so you never get stuck in one technology or sector. Your Talent Manager actively guards your variety.

Will I get a fair package — no hidden margins?

Transparent benchmarking. Your Talent Manager openly discusses market rates for your role and experience. Plus company car, 12 extra holidays, hospitalisation and group insurance, eco-vouchers, bike leasing.

What if I want to switch between permanent and freelance?

At Pauwels both are possible. We support the transition either way — whether you want to start permanent today and freelance later, or the other way around.
