Power System Engineer

Context: 
Our T&D Power Systems team assists clients in achieving compliance and efficiency by 
conducting power systems studies to navigate the design grid connection and access standards 
for their energy generation and transmission projects. You will become part of a global tight-knit 
team of power systems engineers engaged in diverse projects supporting multiple type of 
international interconnection and grid connection projects (including solar wind hydro battery 
energy storage and HVDC interconnectors).  

Our team also provides technical assistance to Transmission Grid Operators (TSOs) and utilities 
helping the private sector secure crucial grid investments through expert technical support. This 
role offers a unique opportunity to develop your career and play a pivotal role in expanding and 
shaping our business across Asia for a multinational company while supporting clients not only 
in Asia but also in Australia Europe and Africa. 

Regular working days: Mon-Fri. 8 hours/day 5 days/week 

Responsibility:  

• Conduct advanced power system studies (steady-state load flow short-circuit and dynamic stability analyses) for generation grid connection projects and transmission planning studies (feasibility and design stages). Projects will be primarily across Asia-Pacific but also in Europe the Middle East Africa and Australia.
• Perform power system modelling and analysis for generation grid connection studies including solar wind hydro thermal and energy storage systems.
• Prepare comprehensive study reports ranging from connection feasibility studies for energy developers to detailed static and dynamic connection studies for utilities as well as other power systems studies related to distributed generation integration and grid augmentation.
• Deliver high-quality outputs within agreed parameters formats and timelines and review the work of other employees when necessary.
• Conduct complex assessments provide specialist advice/solutions and training conduct technical presentations to internal and external clients.
• Engage in technical developmental activities including attending conferences and participating in industry presentations.

Qualifications :

Qualifications and Requirements

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems or related field).
• Having 3-5 years of relevant working experience in power system modeling and analysis for grid connections and transmission projects. This should include hands-on experience with generation interconnection feasibility studies transmission planning and network stability assessments ideally in a utility/TSO or power engineering consultancy environment.
• Proven knowledge and experience on performing complex transmission power system studies such as: steady state analysis short circuit analysis transient stability analysis generator model validation. Any additional experience on the following fields is beneficial: electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations cable design protection coordination and relay settings studies harmonic analysis small signal stability adequacy studies and probabilistic approaches.
• Demonstrated experience in power system simulation software DigSILENT Power Factory including automation with Python scripting. Any additional proven capabilities in other power system studies tools such as Siemens PSS/E PSCAD ETAP etc. is beneficial.
• Experience working closely with or within transmission utilities/TSOs on interconnection projects or advanced grid studies (e.g. cross-border interconnectors renewable energy integration large-scale battery storage projects).
• Having experience and knowledge of the Indonesian or Malaysian Power System background and stakeholders is beneficial.
• Familiar with international grid codes and standards (e.g. IEC IEEE) relevant to transmission planning and grid connection requirements.
• Ability to manage tasks effectively under time and resource constraints delivering results with good quality even under pressure.
• Excellent analytical problem-solving skills and a collaborative team-oriented mindset.
• Strong communication skills in English (written and spoken) as this role involves liaising with international teams and clients.
• Professional Engineer (PE) certification or equivalent credentials in any of the above-mentioned countries is an advantage (but not required).
