Senior Electrical Engineer, Power Systems

What if you could shape a career as unique as you?

Main Activities and Responsibilities: 
•  Comply with all role-specific SHEQ, quality, governance, ethics and risk-management obligations, and actively apply Safety in Design principles. 
•  Work collaboratively with Manila and Australian Power & Energy teams, clients, network service providers, OEMs and other engineering disciplines. 
•  Plan, execute, check and document power system studies for utility, renewable energy and infrastructure projects. 
•  Develop, update and validate network, plant and equipment models using PSS®E, PSCAD/EMTDC, ETAP and DIgSILENT PowerFactory. 
•  Perform steady-state studies including load flow, contingency, voltage profile, equipment loading and reactive power assessments. 
•  Perform short-circuit and fault-level studies, including interpretation of results for equipment ratings and design decisions. 
•  Perform protection coordination and arc-flash studies, including data validation, model setup, results review and reporting. 
•  Undertake or support dynamic studies, including transient stability, control response, fault ride-through and RMS/EMT performance assessments. 
•  Support renewable energy and BESS integration studies, grid connection assessments and technical due diligence for wind, solar and storage projects. 
•  Assess model inputs, assumptions and limitations; identify data gaps, technical risks and practical mitigation measures. 
•  Prepare clear technical reports, study methodologies, calculation notes, presentations and recommendations suitable for client and reviewer use. 
•  Conduct self-checks and peer reviews, respond constructively to comments and maintain models, study files and records in accordance with project requirements. 
•  Coordinate interfaces with primary, secondary, protection, control, SCADA, earthing, cable and civil design teams where study outcomes affect design. 
•  Contribute to proposals, scopes, fee estimates and schedules, and communicate progress, risks and changes promptly. 
•  Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge, study practices, automation approaches and lessons learned across the team. 

Qualifications (Minimum and Desirable): 
•  Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline from a recognised institution; postgraduate study in power systems is desirable. 
•  Typically 5+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience, with demonstrated experience in power system analysis or electrical network studies. 

Experience, skills and organisational knowledge: 
•  Sound knowledge of power system fundamentals covering generation, transmission, distribution, protection and control. 
•  Practical experience completing load flow, short-circuit/fault-level and arc-flash studies.  
•  Working proficiency in at least one of PSS®E, PSCAD/EMTDC, ETAP or DIgSILENT PowerFactory, with capability or willingness to work across multiple platforms. 
•  Experience with renewable energy integration, including wind, solar PV and BESS, is highly regarded. 
•  Knowledge of grid connection processes, grid codes or utility requirements is desirable; Australian National Electricity Market experience is advantageous but not essential. 
•  Demonstrated technical writing, analytical problem-solving and quality-control skills. 
•  Demonstrated experience preparing and maintaining power system models, study cases and supporting input data. 
•  Experience performing load flow, contingency, short-circuit, protection coordination and arc-flash assessments for HV/MV/LV systems. 
•  Experience supporting dynamic simulation studies, including model setup, event definition, result plotting, validation and technical interpretation. 
•  Ability to independently deliver defined study packages while escalating uncertainties, risks and decisions requiring senior review. 
•  Ability to review models and reports prepared by others and provide clear, evidence-based comments. 
•  Proficiency with Python and developing automation experience is advantageous. 
•  Strong written and spoken English, with the ability to collaborate effectively across countries, cultures and time zones.
