• Experience in grid connection, transmission planning, or renewable integration projects.
• Exposure to both utility/TSO and developer-driven projects is an advantage.
• Strong experience in load flow, contingency, short-circuit, power quality, voltage stability and RMS stability studies.

Responsibilities

• Perform steady-state and dynamic power system studies, including load flow, contingency, short-circuit, RMS stability, voltage stability and reactive power assessments.
• Develop and maintain network models using PSS®E and/or DIgSILENT PowerFactory
• Define study assumptions, scenarios, and contingencies.
• Interpret study results, identify network constraints and stability risks, and develop technically justified mitigation measures.
• Conduct complex technical assessments and develop specialist solutions for power system challenges, including generator and converter model validation, dynamic model tuning, stability enhancement strategies, and mitigation of network constraints.
• Investigate model convergence, initialization and dynamic performance issues, identify root causes, and implement robust technical solutions.
• Grid integrations renewable projects: Contribute to grid connection studies for solar, wind, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), HVDC and other converter-based technologies.
• Project delivery: Lead the technical execution of studies from project initiation through final reporting with independence and accountability.
• Coordinate with internal teams for inputs, modelling, and validation; review and validate work from junior engineers; lead selected study tasks and provide technical guidance.
• Prepare clear and structured technical reports and deliverables; present results to internal teams and clients; support technical discussions as required
• Stay updated on developments in grid integration and power system analysis; support development and adoption of internal tools and AI-assisted workflows.
