ملخص الوظيفة

The Senior Power System Secondary Engineer acts as the technical authority on behalf of the project developer providing independent oversight review and verification of all secondary systems engineering across utility-scale renewable energy plants (Solar PV Wind) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The role is pivotal in ensuring that designs delivered by EPC contractors and specialist consultants are technically sound safe cost-effective and fully compliant with International Best Practices utility / TSO requirements and applicable International Standards (IEC IEEE/ANSI).

Design Review & Verification

Lead the review and verification of all secondary design deliverables including Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) Protection & Metering Diagrams (PMDs) Block Logic Diagrams (BLDs) AC/DC schematics and LV System Design Documents for HV substations and renewable plants.
Verify protection and control philosophies including relay settings selectivity analyses and coordination studies (short-circuit calculations CT/VT sizing) prepared by consultants and EPC contractors.
Review and approve interlocking schemes bay-level logic and station-level automation across switchgear transformers feeders and renewable energy plant interfaces.

Substation Automation & SCADA

Approve substation automation and SCADA architectures ensuring correct implementation of IED logic signal lists and interlocking schemes at bay and station levels.
Oversee the integration and configuration of communication protocols IEC 61850 (GOOSE/SV/MMS) IEC and DNP3 governing data flow between Plant Power Controllers (PPC/EMS) substations and utility control centers.
Review IED configurations substation HMI displays and historian / data management architectures for completeness and compliance.

Standards Compliance & Grid Code Adherence

Ensure strict adherence to international standards and grid codes (IEC IEEE/ANSI) by performing technical audits and vetting technical submissions to Transmission / Distribution System Operators (TSO/DSO).
Manage technical interfaces and coordinate between EPC contractors engineering consultants OEMs and the grid operator to ensure a coherent and optimized secondary systems design.

Requirements

Education

Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Power Systems or a closely related field.

Professional Engineering registration (PE / CEng or equivalent) is an advantage.

Experience

8 years of engineering experience with a demonstrable focus on substation secondary systems design and delivery.

Significant experience in a developer owners engineer or utility role with direct responsibility for managing and challenging EPC contractor deliverables.

Proven track record on grid-connected utility-scale renewable energy projects (Solar PV Wind) and/or Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Experience working across the full project lifecycle from FEED and detailed design through to FAT SAT and commercial operation.

Technical Skills

Expert-level knowledge of protection philosophies and schemes for transmission voltages up to 400 kV (distance differential overcurrent busbar inter-tripping).

Deep proficiency in substation automation: IEC 61850 engineering (SCL/CID/SSD files) IED configuration tools (e.g. PCM600 AcSELerator DIGSI) and gateway configuration.

Strong knowledge of industrial communication protocols (IEC 61850 IEC DNP3 Modbus TCP/RTU; configuration of industrial servers gateways and HMIs.

Familiarity with power system studies (short-circuit protection coordination) and tools such as ETAP or DIgSILENT PowerFactory is highly preferred.

Understanding of renewable energy plant control architectures: PPC EMS reactive power controllers and BESS Energy Management / Battery Management Systems (EMS/BMS).
