  • Developing the initial system architecture and advising the Customer on areas of difficulty or where designs can be optimised.
  • Undertake provisional load-flow studies, with PowerFactory DIgSILENT or similar a software tool, for the purpose of initial system design and equipment sizing.
  • Undertake provisional RAM Studies (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) to ensure the proposed solution meets the Clients expectations.
  • Work closely with the mechanical-electrical teams and ensure that the practical realisation of the Power System design is an efficient and cost effective as possible.
  • Manage any third-party resources, engage to undertake more detailed studies, such as harmonic analysis, required to further develop the proposed design, including the validation of the work produced.
  • Engage with the Customer, as required, to articulate the Power System solution and answer questions or queries that may be raised.
You will continue to support the Project as it moves into the delivery stage and work closely with the execution teams to manage the full set of Studies needed to confirm compliance. This will generally include undertaking the following tasks:
  • Identifying the studies to be performed, preparing procurement specifications, and working closely with the Sourcing team to engage the entity that will perform the full set of project studies.
  • Once a suitable consultant has been engaged, set them to work, answer queries, monitor progress and validate the work that they produce.
  • Continue to be the main point of contact to the Customer for all topics related to Power System Studies and answer questions or queries that may be raised.
  • Manage the Customer approval process and ensure that the Customers comments are answered in a comprehensive and timely manner.
  • Continue to work closely with the mechanical-electrical teams and ensure complete alignment between the Power System design and the practical realization of the project.

  • Be a competent user of a power system analysis software application such as PowerFactory DIgSILENT (or equivalent)
  • Be a competent user of a RAM Studies (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) software application such as ReliaSoft - BlockSIM (or equivalent)
Desired Characteristics:
  • The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of the power transmission business and the way in which electrical power grids are operated in order to successfully transmit power while remaining stable. You will also have a working knowledge of related standards and documents, such as the UK Grid Code, in order to understand the design constraints that need to be adhered too.
  • You will be confident to discuss these complex topics with Customers and Consultants and be able to propose solutions or improvements needed to create successful concepts that can then be delivered. You will also be able to bridge the gap between the system studies and practical design realisation, and be able to provide guidance to the electrical-mechanical teams who will create the detail design.
  • You will be a team player, with good communication and interpersonal skills, be capable of self-management, and have a high degree of flexibility, resilience and a self-learning attitude.
