Senior Power Systems Engineer Power Systems Engineer (Infrastructure)
Job Summary
The Senior Power Systems Engineer will lead the design modelling simulation and execution of extra-high high- medium- and low-voltage (EHV/HV/MV/LV) electrical power systems. This role ensures the safety reliability efficiency and code compliance of power networks. The ideal candidate possesses deep technical expertise in power system dynamics independently performs complex analytical studies and collaborates cross-functionally to deliver large-scale energy and industrial projects.
Key Responsibilities
System Modelling & Analysis: Conduct and manage critical power system studies including load flow short-circuit calculations protective device coordination arc-flash hazard evaluation harmonic analysis transient stability motor starting/acceleration cable thermal analysis earthing/grounding system design insulation coordination and grid compliance studies for Extra High Voltage High Voltage Medium Voltage & Low Voltage power systems.
Engineering & Design: Lead the design and integration of electrical power distribution systems substations switchgear generators transformers and renewable energy assets such as solar wind BESS and hybrid systems.
Project Leadership: Oversee electrical engineering projects from conceptual design through commissioning. Manage project timelines resource allocation budgeting and deliverables with a high degree of independence.
Compliance & Quality Assurance: Ensure all system designs meet applicable national and international electrical standards and safety codes including IEC IEEE NEC NFPA ANSI and CSA. Apply standards such as IEC 60909 IEEE 1584 IEEE 519 and IEC 61850 where relevant.
Client & Vendor Interaction: Act as a technical consultant and liaison for clients. Evaluate technical specifications prepare detailed engineering proposals and coordinate with equipment vendors.
Mentorship: Supervise train and provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level power engineers. Review and validate their simulation models and technical reports.
Safety Leadership: Promote and enforce safety in design arc-flash risk mitigation HV switching LOTO and commissioning activities.
Qualifications :
Required Qualifications
