About the job

The successful candidate will join the System Modelling & Planning Support (SM&PS) group (within Transmission Asset Planning) as a Senior Engineer.

The core function of the SM&PS group is :

Implement data models to support the transmission planning processes in BC Hydro (growth capital planning, interconnection planning, transmission operation services, network integration transmission services, and integrated resource planning).
Address compliance with WECC and NERC MRS requirements concerning data models for transmission planning and reliability assessment.
Maintain and sustain in‑house software tools used to support the transmission planning processes within BC Hydro and wider user groups where applicable.

What you’ll do

Provide subject‑matter expertise in power system modelling by conducting data modelling, review, validation, and quality assurance in the data models of transmission circuits, station equipment, and generation facilities. This includes implementation of load forecasts, base resource plans, interconnection queue, as‑built data for capital and sustain projects, external system models, system operating order updates, etc.

Provide work experience, leadership and technical direction to engineers and technical staff in setting up, testing, tuning, benchmarking, and building steady‑state and dynamic models (base cases). This includes knowledge transfer and training on analytical methods and techniques implemented in specialised power systems application software used for the planning, design, and operation of electrical power systems.

Provide work experience, leadership and technical direction to engineers and technical staff in sustaining and maintaining existing software used to support various transmission planning needs and business groups. Examples of such software include those to provide others access to equipment data and project planning scopes.

Ensure on‑going compliance and awareness with NERC MRS standards applicable to steady‑state and dynamic data models used for transmission planning (e.g., MOD‑010, MOD‑012, MOD‑025, MOD‑026, MOD‑027, MOD‑031, MOD‑032, MOD‑033, and TPL‑001‑4 standards).

Respond to WECC data requests (power flow and dynamic base cases, generating unit model validation, remedial action schemes in standardised WECC format, composite load model, relay models, sequence data, load & resource information, geomagnetic induced current data). This includes interaction and coordination with other utilities such as FBC, AESO, and BPA.

Represent BC Hydro in relevant working groups of the Data and Model Subcommittees under WECC’s Reliability Assessment Committee dealing with steady‑state and dynamic data used for transmission reliability assessment.

Interact with relevant groups in Integrated Planning, Operations and Capital Infrastructure Project Delivery in implementing processes, requirements, criteria, standards, and policies dealing with power system models for transmission planning.

Develop and maintain effective professional relationships with internal and external customers in addressing service requests for performing specialised engineering studies (e.g., load interconnections, generation interconnections, capital plan, short‑ and long‑range transmission planning, annual NERC TPL studies, etc.). This includes understanding the requirements, defining the scope of the work, implementing, testing, and delivering on time data models for planning studies based on customer specifications.

What you bring

Bachelor or higher academic degree in Electrical Power Systems Engineering from a qualified university.

Registered, or eligible for immediate registration, as a Professional Engineer with the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (EGBC).

A minimum of 8 years of working experience in data modelling and / or software development and / or performing specialised electrical power system studies (e.g., power flows, dynamic stability simulations, voltage stability, short‑circuit calculations, reactive var planning and optimisation, frequency response analysis, etc.).

Work experience with power system simulation tools and software such as PSS / E, DSA Tools, GE‑PSLF, PowerWorld, ASPEN, PSCAD / EMTDC, EMTP‑RV, PI.

Ability to review and verify plant record information for transmission circuits and station equipment and extract data models as needed by power application software used for transmission planning.

Knowledge of fundamental engineering concepts applied to power system reliability evaluation, with particular emphasis on composite generation and transmission reliability assessment.

Strong interpersonal, communication, technical writing and organisational skills; ability to work in a team environment.

Preference for candidates with strong academic background and expertise in planning and operation of electrical power systems.

Preference for candidates with software development skills in electrical power systems using specialised programming languages such as FORTRAN, C++, C#, Python, Perl, Awk, HTML / XML, Java, etc., and industry‑standard databases (Oracle, SQL Server).

Knowledge and exposure to the latest developments in the CIM (Common Information Model) is an asset but not a requirement.

What we offer

A minimum of 15 paid vacation days.

Flexible work model, depending on your role type.

Training and development courses.

What else you should know

This posting is for a Full Time Regular.

A condition of employment : Engineers & Geo‑Scientists BC (EGBC) must be in good standing.

The evaluation of candidates for this position may include a written / computer assessment in addition to an interview.

Pre‑qualification alcohol and drug testing is required (role is safety sensitive).

Candidates with lesser experience may be considered for a position appropriate to their level of experience.

Don’t forget to update your candidate profile with your current resume and copies of your certifications. If applicable, include your trades qualification.
