Job description

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission‑critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting‑edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

The Electrical Reliability Studies Engineer is responsible for performing power‑system and Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) studies for power generation, transmission, distribution, renewable energy, data centers and mission‑critical facilities. As a reliability studies engineer, you will develop and validate technical models, perform system‑impact and RAM studies, identify operational and design risks, and recommend practical improvements to system availability, redundancy, resilience, and maintainability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop RAM models using reliability block diagrams, fault trees, equipment failure rates, repair times, maintenance assumptions, operational dependencies, and resource constraints.
  • Calculate system reliability, availability, and expected downtime, and identify critical equipment, single points of failure, system bottlenecks, and major contributors to downtime or service interruptions.
  • Perform normal‑condition, single‑contingency, multiple‑contingency, and extreme‑event assessments in accordance with applicable NERC Reliability Standards.
  • Prepare technical reports and present study methodologies, findings, and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Maintain knowledge of applicable NERC and FERC requirements and relevant ISO/RTO reliability planning processes.

Here’s what you’ll need

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, from a recognized institution.
  • Minimum of 4 years of direct experience in power system modelling and studies, including reliability analysis.
  • Experience with power‑system analysis tools such as ETAP or equivalent software.
  • Familiarity with RAM software such as ReliaSoft BlockSim, Isograph Availability Workbench, or equivalent tools.
  • Familiarity with reliability indicators such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, MTBF, and MTTR.
  • Strong analytical, technical‑writing, communication, and presentation skills.
  • Knowledge of applicable industry standards such as IEC, IEEE and CIGRE.
  • Exceptional problem‑solving and analytical capabilities with a focus on achieving results.
  • Team player with great interpersonal, communication and presentation skills.
  • Ability and willingness to travel within North America.

Ideally, You’ll Also Have

  • Experience with Monte Carlo simulation and probabilistic reliability assessment.
  • Experience conducting Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and knowledge of root‑cause analysis, and risk‑based maintenance strategies.
  • Knowledge of programming languages to streamline studies using Python or similar languages.
  • Professional Engineer (PE or PEng) License or eligibility to obtain.

We value collaboration and believe that in‑person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.

Your application experience is important to us, and we’re keen to adapt to make every interaction even better. If you require further support or reasonable adjustments with regards to the recruitment process (for example, you require the application form in a different format), please contact the team via Careers Support.
