Job Description Summary We are looking for a Senior Lead Power Systems Studies Engineer to support the Green Energy transition. This role involves leading concept studies for high voltage transmission projects across North and South Europe, working closely with engineering teams to develop solutions that meet client needs and Grid Code requirements. After project approval, you will manage external teams conducting electrical system studies, validate their work, and act as the main technical contact for clients. The North and South Europe Grid System Integration (GSI) team delivers a wide range of high voltage transmission projects, including the connection of new generation & grid stability projects, and is looking for a Power Systems Studies Engineer to join the team. Job Description Role Overview: The Grid System Integration (GSI) business team is a turnkey project business that works with its internal and external partners to engineer, procure, construct and commission a wide range of projects associated with the bulk transmission of electrical power and management of electrical power grids. These projects typically include: • New high voltage transmission substations., • Expansion and reinforcement of existing transmission substations and networks., • On and Offshore substations to facilitate windfarm connections and other renewable technologies., • Network compensation and stability projects. For a number of Customers, this work will include developing solutions from first principles or undertaking a range of electrical studies to demonstrate that the design being proposed or delivered meets the required design parameters. This role is to support those activities both at the Tender Stage and the Project Delivery Stage. At the Tender stage, you will play a key role supporting the Engineering team to develop the concept solutions needed to demonstrate competence to the Customer and secure the project. This will generally include undertaking the following tasks: • Understanding the customers' power system requirements, regulatory constrains and standards that need to be adhered too., • Developing the initial system architecture and advising the Customer on areas of difficulty or where designs can be optimised., • Undertake provisional load-flow studies, with PowerFactory DIgSILENT or similar a software tool, for the purpose of initial system design and equipment sizing., • Undertake provisional RAM Studies (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) to ensure the proposed solution meets the Clients expectations., • Work closely with the mechanical-electrical teams and ensure that the practical realisation of the Power System design is an efficient and cost effective as possible., • Manage any third-party resources, engage to undertake more detailed studies, such as harmonic analysis, required to further develop the proposed design, including the validation of the work produced., • Identifying the studies to be performed, preparing procurement specifications, and working closely with the Sourcing team to engage the entity that will perform the full set of project studies., • Once a suitable consultant has been engaged, set them to work, answer queries, monitor progress and validate the work that they produce., • Continue to be the main point of contact to the Customer for all topics related to Power System Studies and answer questions or queries that may be raised., • Manage the Customer approval process and ensure that the Customers comments are answered in a comprehensive and timely manner., • An MSc (or equivalent) in Power Systems Engineering. (Or equivalent experience)., • Demonstrable experience (over 7 years) working in a role where you are undertaking electrical study work on high voltage transmission systems, and have a strong working knowledge of the following topics:, • Electrical Load Flow and Equipment Sizing., • Reactive Power Management., • Short Circuit Calculations, • Harmonic Management., • Availability Studies., • Insulation Coordination., • Proficiency in power system analysis tools (e.g., PSS®E, PowerFactory DIgSILENT, PSCAD), • Be a competent user of a RAM Studies (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) software application such as ReliaSoft - BlockSIM (or equivalent)., • The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of the power transmission business and the operational dynamics of electrical power grids, ensuring stable and efficient power delivery. You will also have a working knowledge of related standards and documents, such as the UK Grid Code, IEC and IEEE, in order to understand the design constraints that need to be adhered too., • You will be confident to discuss these complex topics with Customers and Consultants and be able to propose solutions or improvements needed to create successful concepts that can then be delivered. You will also be able to bridge the gap between the theoretical system studies and practical design realisation and be able to provide guidance to the electrical-mechanical teams who will create the detail design.
