Providing engineering, procurement, and construction services to the energy and industrial sectors.
The candidate may be required to travel to client offices or project sites to provide on‑site consultation. Such visits help ensure project requirements are met and client expectations are addressed.
The role leverages an academic background in Power Systems to provide modeling and analytical support to interdisciplinary project teams, focusing on the interconnection of new generation resources such as on‑shore and offshore wind, solar PV, battery storage, and traditional thermal generation, as well as transmission and distribution planning, new plant design, and integration of emerging technologies like electric vehicles, microgrids, and green hydrogen. Work also involves design of new power plants, modifications to existing facilities, and protection scheme development.
Typical studies include power flow, short‑circuit analysis, protection coordination, arc‑flash assessment, transient and dynamic stability, transient over‑voltage, power quality and harmonics, system impact, cable ampacity, and grounding, complemented by electricity market studies and generation‑planning scenarios. These analyses support reliable integration of both renewable and conventional resources into the grid.
Qualifications include a BS in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Power Systems (MSEE or Ph.D. preferred), at least one year of relevant experience or a Master’s degree, solid understanding of electrical engineering principles, proficiency with MS Office, strong written and verbal communication, and interpersonal skills to guide others. U.S. work authorization is required as the company does not sponsor visas for this role.
Preferred experience comprises internships or work in power analysis, familiarity with software such as PSS/E, PowerWorld, PSLF, TARA, CYME, Synergi, ETAP, SKM, PSCAD, EMTP‑RV, and scripting languages like Python or JavaScript; successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and Engineer‑in‑Training designation are a plus. Strong scripting abilities and familiarity with industry‑standard analysis tools enhance the candidate’s effectiveness.
