We are seeking a dedicated Power Systems Engineer to join our team, focusing on utility-scale renewable energy and transmission projects. This role involves performing power system studies, including EMT analyses related to inverter-based resource integration and ensuring grid compliance.
Responsibilities
- Perform power system studies for utility-scale renewable energy and transmission projects, including EMT analyses related to inverter-based resource (IBR) integration, transient overvoltage (TOV), transient recovery voltage (TRV), system stability, protection interactions, and grid compliance assessments.
- Develop, validate, and maintain detailed power system models using EMTP, PSCAD, PSS®E, and other industry-standard software to support interconnection, planning, and operational studies for wind, solar, BESS, and transmission-connected facilities.
- Prepare technical reports, study documentation, and client deliverables, clearly communicating methodologies, assumptions, results, risks, and engineering recommendations to utilities, system operators, and project stakeholders.
- Serve as a technical reviewer for power system studies and engineering analyses, ensuring modelling accuracy, adherence to industry standards, and consistency with utility, ISO/RTO, and regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, equipment manufacturers, renewable project developers, and utility stakeholders to support project development, interconnection approvals, detailed design, commissioning, and grid integration activities.
- Provide technical guidance on renewable energy technologies, inverter-based resources, and grid performance requirements, supporting complex projects across the full project lifecycle.
Essential Skills
- Experience with EMT, PSCAD, or PSS®E software.
- Renewables power systems modelling experience (IBR integration).
- 3+ years of experience in EMT Studies or PSSE.
- PhD in a related field.
Additional Skills and Qualifications
- Proficiency in TRV integration (transient recovery voltage).
- Experience with power flow, short circuit, dynamic stability.
- Understanding of black box models from turbine OEMs.
- Experience in simulating switching transients, harmonic studies, ferroresonance, and subsynchronous resonance.
- Bilingual proficiency.
- Intermediate (3-7 years of experience) in the field.
- Fault ride through studies experience.
Work Environment
The position offers flexibility for fully remote work. For those near an office, there is a preference for working in-office 1-2 days a week or every two weeks for team building and collaboration purposes.
