6. Manage time and priorities across projects, notify stakeholders of progress against plans and adapt readily to dynamic business priorities.
7. Degree in Electrical Power Systems/Electrical/Electronic Engineering or equivalent numerate discipline.
8. Strong understanding of electric power distribution, electrical load behaviours, and the modelling of time-series demand/distributed generation patterns.
9. Experience of performing steady-state, and/or transient power systems studies, e.g. load flow, short-circuit fault analysis and/or switching studies.
10. Strong and proven numerical analysis skills, engineering mathematics and statistics.
11. Proven ability to solve complex problems using creative solutions.

Desired Criteria:

1. Masters or PhD in Electrical Power Systems/Electrical/Electronic Engineering.
2. At least 2 years’ industry experience.
3. Solid knowledge of the UK distribution sector, including EHV, HV and LV levels.
4. Experience of power systems analysis, including working knowledge of one or more power systems network modelling and simulation packages, e.g. PandaPower, NEPLAN, WinDebut, IPSA, PSCAD, etc.
5. Familiarity with the contemporary challenges that face prospective connections of large plant and embedded generation to UK distribution networks.
6. An awareness of pertinent industry standards and/or key aspects of the Distribution Code for the UK, including Engineering Recommendations (ERECs).
7. Background of Python development.
8. Experience of signal processing techniques used to condition and analyse sampled signals.
9. A good understanding of the principles of software development, with practical experience of version management tools such as Git, SVN or equivalent.

Our Values:

1. We work together.
2. We believe in people.
3. We won’t accept the ‘way it’s always been done’.
4. We listen to learn.
