Job description

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Senior Power System Study Engineer to perform advanced grounding, lightning protection, bus, and induction studies for utility, industrial, and renewable energy projects. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience using tools such as CDEGS and WinIGS, and a strong foundation in electromagnetic transient analysis. This role involves interpreting system configurations, creating accurate models, and delivering high‑quality technical reports to support project engineering and safety compliance.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct grounding system design and analysis, including grid resistance, touch / step voltage, and fault current distribution.
  • Perform lightning protection studies, surge analysis, and shielding assessments.
  • Execute induction studies for overhead lines and pipelines to evaluate AC interference and mitigation strategies.
  • Model and analyze bus configurations for short‑circuit, thermal, and electromagnetic performance.
  • Utilize software tools such as CDEGS, WinIGS, and optionally PSCAD or EMTP to simulate and analyze power system phenomena.
  • Generate detailed technical reports, calculations, and drawings.
  • Coordinate with project managers, utilities, and clients to ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., IEEE 80, IEEE 665, NESC, NEC).
  • Support multidisciplinary teams in substation, transmission, and industrial facility design.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Power Systems or Electromagnetics.
  • Proficiency in CDEGS (certification is an asset).
  • 3+ years of experience in power system studies with a focus on grounding, lightning, and induction.
  • Experience with WinIGS required; familiarity with PSCAD, ETAP, or PSS / E is a plus.
  • Familiarity with HVDC, FACTS, or renewable integration studies is a plus.
  • Benefits & Compensation

    Competitive compensation ranging between $100,200 and $137,700 annually.

    Flexible benefits, hybrid working culture, professional development, and generous time‑off policies.

    We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, or other protected status, are encouraged to apply.
