About Prysmian Delft

Prysmian Delft produces land energy cables from 1 kV up to 420 kV AC. The factory has the capability to produce all different layers of the cable such as conductor, insulation, screen and jacket in house. There is a wide portfolio of cables which includes low-, medium, high- and extra high- voltage cables which consist of a broad range of different metals and insulating materials

Cable manufacturing is a multidisciplinary field. The apprenticeship position which is offered at Prysmian Delft requires an engineer with mechanical, electrical or chemical orientation who is willing to work in a dynamic environment. The main tasks of the apprenticeship are related to the analysis of energy consumption data and production data.

Team Overview and Job Responsibilities

The apprentice within the process team in Delft will be responsible for execution of the following projects and tasks:

• Provide technical proposals to improve the energy consumption during runtime and downtime. The improvement in energy consumption is one of the main goals of Prysmian. For this purpose, we monitor continuously the energy consumption and analyze the behavior of the various machines. Within the scope of the apprenticeship will be to study the energy consumption data, understand the difference in energy consumption between different products and investigate the energy consumption during downtime of the machines with the highest energy demand.

• Identify the weak points in the conductor design and conductor production process with the final goal to come with a technical proposal for optimization. The market is moving towards biggest conductor cross sections and the need for optimized conductors with lower operational losses increases. Within the scope of the apprenticeship will be to review the conductor designs, study the production data and perform a thorough comparison of these data.

• Analyze the different consumables, optimize the usage of them and propose more cost effective alternatives when it is possible. The production of cables requires the usage of secondary materials (consumables) which are not included in the final cable but are needed for the different operational steps. The goal is to analyze the different consumables, optimize the usage of them and propose more cost effective alternatives when it is possible.
