Projects Division

Do you want to take part in the energy transition? Our Projects Division can be your next career opportunity!

We are hiring for professionals who want to challenge themselves through global impactful projects.

Since 2007 Prysmian’s Projects Division has worked on Supply Only and Turnkey Projects, designing, manufacturing, building, trading cables and components especially for the energy transmission for the major national and international operators. It is an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) Contractor, so its teams follow each phase from the very beginning to its end.

GOALS

Together with the other Prysmian Group entities, the Projects Division works on clear goals, built on 3 key pillars:

Have a look at some of our projects

German Corridors

 

Three underground energy cable systems connect German wind farms in the North Sea to the southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. This is the energy project that will lead Germany to have 65 % of its electricity consumed from renewable sources by 2030.

Of these systems, Prysmian will lay about 2,300 kilometers of energy cables, which are required for the three German corridor projects.

These will include the use of the P-Laser 525 kV cable, the first 100% recyclable, environmentally sustainable and high-performance cable.

Tyrrhenian Link

 

The Tyrrhenian Link project involves the design, supply, and installation of more than 1,500 km of submarine cables to support energy exchange between Sardinia, Sicily, and Campania, thereby strengthening the Mediterranean energy hub.

The submarine and land cables will be produced at the Arco Felice (Naples) plant and the cable laying will be largely carried out by the Leonardo da Vinci, the world's largest cable laying vessel. Noteworthy is the fact that Tyrrhenian will set a record for submarine cable installation in terms of depth. The estimated level is approximately 2250 meters b.s.l.

Sofia Project

 

This is a project to build a turnkey high-voltage subsea and onshore cable system for the Sofia offshore wind farm; it’s signed by RWE Renewables, one of the world's largest developers of offshore wind farms.

The Projects Division will be responsible for the design, supply, installation and testing of a symmetrical single-core high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable system that will connect the offshore substation to the onshore conversion station in Teesside. The project includes more than 440 km of ±320 kV submarine cables with XLPE insulation, installed via the Leonardo Da Vinci, and 15 km of ±320 kV land-based cables with P-Laser insulation.
