PurposeAs a Senior Power Systems Engineer with experience in large industrial facilities, you will work within multi-disciplinary teams involved in integrated power system plans, pre-feasibility/feasibility/system impact assessment, and system performance studies for both AC and DC project developments and generation/load connections. You must be able to work independently, be a self-starter, have excellent communication skills, and work well within the project and discipline team. You will coordinate all planning activities and those of their teams to maintain project schedules and ensure successful completion of projects. You will perform the duties in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Responsibilities
Perform power system engineering analysis of industrial electric power systems in the areas of coordination of protection, short-circuit calculation, motor starting, grounding calculations (GPR, step/touch, etc.), arc-flash hazard analysis, load flow, power quality and harmonics, design improvements of medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution systems, transient stability, and electromagnetic transient.
Evaluate analysis results and prepare written report of findings, conclusions, recommendations, and mitigation solutions.
Perform electrical design improvements primarily to support upgrades of facilities’ electrical distribution system in conjunction with the customers’ needs, specifically to meet sustainability goals and improve system safety and reliability.
Utilize Engineering skills and applicable codes and standards to implement electrical systems that are safe, reliable, and economical.
Review of planning/system performance studies for compliance with prevailing standards and criteria and good engineering practice.
Analyze power systems using specialized software e.G ETAP, SKM, PSS®E, CDEGS, etc.
Knowledge of connection standards (AESO) and conversant with Utility requirements.
Provide Engineering cost estimates and bid proposals.
