This role requires proficiency in advanced power system software, strong analytical skills, and the ability to deliver high-quality engineering solutions in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities 

• Conduct detailed power system studies, including load flow, short-circuit, transient motor starting, harmonic, arc flash, and protection coordination analyses. 
• Develop, modify, and validate electrical system models using industry-standard software tools (e.g., ETAP, PSCAD, SKM, EasyPower). 
• Build accurate models of power systems to simulate and assess the behavior of electrical systems under both normal and fault conditions. 
• Provide technical expertise in the design and optimization of power distribution networks, substations, and protective relaying systems. 
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure system designs meet operational and safety standards, codes, and regulations. 
• Ensure that power system designs and studies comply with applicable national and international standards (e.g., IEEE, ANSI, NERC, NEC). 
• Manage and execute engineering studies within specified project timelines and budgets. 
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and recommendations for internal and external stakeholders. 
• Stay current with emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices in power system engineering. 

Requirements 

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field. A Master’s degree is a plus. 
• Minimum 1-2 years of experience in power system studies and analysis. 
• Proven experience using power system analysis software (e.g., PSS/E, ETAP, EasyPower, SKM, PSCAD). 
• Experience in utility-scale power systems, transmission, and distribution networks. 
• Strong knowledge of power system analysis techniques (e.g., load flow, fault analysis, transient stability, etc.). 
• Experience in conducting arc flash hazard analysis and protection system studies. 
• Strong problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and attention to detail. 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present technical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. 
• Ability to work independently and in teams, managing multiple projects simultaneously. 
• Knowledge of relevant industry codes and standards (e.g., IEEE, NEC, NERC, etc.).

Physical Requirements 

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer. 
• May occasionally need to lift up to 15 lbs.

Benefits 

• Medical, dental, life, and vision insurance.
