Senior Power System Secondary Engineer

• 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.
  

• 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.
  
• Telecommunications & Cybersecurity
  
• Review and validate communication and telecommunication architectures including managed network design (VLANs PRP/HSR redundancy) cybersecurity policies (IEC 62351 / NERC-CIP aligned) and tele-protection performance requirements.
  
• Ensure robust cyber-physical security practices are embedded throughout the secondary system design lifecycle.
  

• 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.
