Job Description Summary

This role is designed to interpret the customer’s technical enquiry and to design the most cost-effective overall solution for an HVDC installation utilizing the PES power electronics solutions, aiming to minimizing the total cost, and to specify the main (high-value) items of bought-out equipment. The successful candidate will be involved in the development and industrialization of solutions tools and processes. The successful candidate will have proven professional experience and technical expertise in the field of power system engineering.

Essential Responsibilities

• Insulation Coordination Studies: Determination (by simulation) of temporary and transient overvoltage stresses on equipment and surge arrester energy ratings.
• Power System Studies: Perform power system simulations (steady- state and EMT studies) for projects and tenders
• Network studies: Confirmation of the correct interaction between the equipment, its control system and the rest of the network.
• Reliability and Availability Studies: Creation of overall reliability and availability models for projects and reporting to the client.
• Losses: Calculation of overall project losses and reporting to the client.
• Provide guidance and coordinate the engineering tasks to meet the project/tender requirement.
• Technical responsibility in areas of expertise
• Development and Industrialization: Develop and industrialize solutions tools and processes associated with the engineering activities identified above.
• Be actively involved in new developments in HVDC technologies, implementing control and protection solutions and creating / delivering new analysis techniques and system study tools in order to provide optimized system study solutions.
• Process Improvement: Review and record design processes and develop new or improved processes.
• Enforce engineering discipline and set processes across all work tasks and adherence to company policies, quality procedures and work instructions (e.g. through trainings, technical reviews).
• Represent the business in external events by publishing technical papers.
• Apply yourself towards improving your technical knowledge base and keep abreast of relevant methodologies and technological advancement within the Company.
• Support and mentor other engineers to increase the team’s technical knowledge and competence.
