Power System Engineer – Green Energy & Net Zero

As the world moves towards net-zero emissions, the way we use electricity is changing. More than ever, we need experts who can ensure the lights stay on while we transition to greener energy sources. That’s where Power System Engineers come in.

About the Role:

We’re looking for an experienced Power System Engineer to help predict energy demand and ensure it’s met efficiently. You’ll work with grids and service stations, making sure the right amount of electricity is supplied to the right places at the right time.

For example, during large events like football matches, energy usage spikes. Your role will be to anticipate these changes and ensure the system can handle the demand.

Why This Role Matters:

• The shift to net-zero means energy use is evolving, and we need to stay ahead.
• Understanding customer needs and demand patterns is crucial for smooth operations.
• You’ll analyze data, predict load increases, and help manage existing service stations to prevent issues before they arise.

What We’re Looking For:

• Up to 10 years’ experience in power systems, with 3-5 years in net-zero grids
• Strong understanding of grid management and power distribution
• Ability to collaborate with energy providers and industry partners
• Eligible for sponsorship (EU candidates welcome)

Education:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) is essential.
• A Master’s degree or higher is a plus.

Experience:

• Hands-on experience in power system engineering, focusing on system design, analysis, and protection.
• Experience leading and managing engineering teams on large-scale projects.
• Familiarity with power system modelling software such as ETAP, PSS/E, DigSILENT PowerFactory, CYME, or similar tools.

Skills & Expertise:

• Strong knowledge of power system components, including transformers, circuit breakers, relays, and control systems.
• Expertise in power system analysis, protection, and control.
• Experience with renewable energy integration and grid modernization projects.
• Proficiency in electrical CAD software, simulation tools, and system modelling.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively within diverse teams.
