Job summary

Nexus Engineering Group is actively seeking a Senior Power System Studies Engineer to own end‑to‑end analytical studies for industrial clients, building and validating models in ETAP/EasyPower/SKM, and delivering client-ready reports. You’ll mentor junior engineers and help shape Nexus’s methodologies while engaging directly with clients.

The role offers ESOP ownership, opportunities to lead with senior responsibility, and exposure to full-service EPCm projects.

Qualifications

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
8+ years of experience performing power system studies for industrial clients.
Advanced, hands‑on proficiency in ETAP, EasyPower or SKM including building and validating models to complete studies.
Deep command of the core study types — load flow, short‑circuit, arc‑flash, protective device and relay coordination, motor‑starting, and harmonics.
Proven ability to own studies independently, from scoping through client‑ready deliverables.
Working knowledge of IEEE standards, such as IEEE 1584, IEEE 3000 Series, and NFPA 70 & 70E.
Strong written communication and reporting skills, plus working proficiency in Excel and the Microsoft Office suite.

Responsibilities

Lead and own power system studies end-to-end — scoping, modeling, analysis, quality control, and the final client-ready report.
Build and validate models in ETAP, EasyPower, or SKM PowerTools, as the study requires.
Perform the full range of studies: load flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device and relay coordination.
Additional studies as required include dynamic and/or static motor-starting, harmonics, ground grid analysis, transient stability, and lightning analysis.
Create and analyze relay setting files and coordinate protection schemes.
Serve as a technical point of contact for clients — scoping work, gathering data, and presenting findings and recommendations.
Review and QC studies produced by junior engineers, and mentor them on modeling, analysis, and standards.
Help develop and maintain Nexus’s study templates, methodology, and quality standards.
Travel occasionally (2–3 times per year, up to a week) to client facilities to gather field data alongside other Nexus personnel.
