Job Title: Senior Electrical Engineer / Power System Engineer – HVDC
Department: Energy / Power Systems
Reports To: HVDC Technical Lead or Engineering Manager
Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Electrical Engineer or Power System Engineer with a strong background in HVDC systems to support the design, analysis, and delivery of high-voltage power transmission projects. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team contributing to the energy transition, enabling large-scale renewable integration and interconnection projects worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform power system studies (e.g., load flow, short circuit, transient stability, harmonic analysis) for HVDC and hybrid AC/DC systems.
• Design and specify HVDC system components, including converters (LCC/VSC), filters, cables, and control systems.
• Contribute to system architecture design, protection coordination, and grid code compliance.
• Support the integration of offshore wind, solar, and other renewable sources into transmission networks.
• Interface with OEMs, utilities, and transmission system operators (TSOs) on technical requirements and design reviews.
• Prepare technical documentation including specifications, reports, models, and drawings.
• Review contractor/subcontractor designs for compliance with project and regulatory standards.
• Support tender evaluations and construction phases, including FAT, SAT, and commissioning.
• Ensure compliance with IEC, CIGRÉ, and national grid standards (e.g., NGESO in the UK).
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders including energy analysts, civil engineers, and environmental consultants.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in high-voltage engineering, with at least 1–2 years in HVDC design, modelling, or implementation.
• Proficiency with power system simulation tools such as PSCAD, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, or PSS®E.
• Familiarity with HVDC technologies (VSC and LCC), protection schemes, and converter station design.
• Understanding of transmission systems, system planning, and network interconnection requirements.
