Job description

ROLE

• – Deliver high‑quality steady‑state and transient power system studies, including RMS and EMT modelling for renewable energy projects across all project phases.
• – Perform load flow/power flow analysis, short‑circuit/fault level analysis, protection coordination, arc‑flash and grounding studies, power quality assessments, grid compliance and interconnection studies, contingency analysis, insulation coordination, stability studies, ride‑through studies, cable ampacity and voltage control studies, sub‑synchronous oscillation studies, and ramp‑rate/frequency/inertial response studies.
• – Conduct manual engineering calculations for short‑circuit levels, transformer sizing, protection schemes, grounding design, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing, and reactive power requirements.
• – Review and validate vendor‑supplied documents, protection schemes, equipment specifications, and control settings for inverters, transformers, BESS, wind turbines, and FACTS devices; perform studies involving HVDC links and FACTS devices.
• – Model and simulate complex power systems using ETAP and DIgSILENT PowerFactory; use PSS/E, PSCAD, and EMTP for dynamic, stability, and EMT studies.
• – Automate parametric studies, batch processing, sensitivity analysis, custom model development, result post‑processing, and reporting using DSL and Python scripting.
• – Maintain and improve study libraries, model templates, validation databases, and standard workflows in ETAP and DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
• – Prepare detailed client‑ready technical reports, simulation results, sensitivity analyses, executive summaries, and presentations for clients, lenders, utilities, and regulators.
• – Contribute to internal QA/QC processes, modelling guidelines, and validation protocols.
• – Collaborate with electrical design, renewable engineering, due‑diligence, and advisory teams to deliver integrated lifecycle solutions.
• – Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers on modelling techniques, tool usage, automation, and grid‑code requirements.
• – Contribute to thought leadership through technical blogs, whitepapers, knowledge‑sharing sessions, and presentations.
• – Support business development with technical inputs to proposals and client discussions.

REQUIREMENTS

• – Strong technical knowledge with ability to handle projects independently.
• – Excellent communication, report writing, and presentation skills.
• – Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as required.
