How You’ll Make an Impact:
The Transient & Power Systems Senior Consultant will be responsible for:
- Executing analyses of Power Systems, engagements regarding transmission network planning, system design and validation studies, and grid impact assessment of large generation, storage, and load resources.
- Supporting clients’ efforts to ensure a successful ISO new interconnection application and FERC approval.
- Supporting the integration of power electronic devices, inverter-based and synchronous generation, energy storage assets, HVDCs, FACTs, etc. into AC grids (from conceptual studies for new projects, passing through their commissioning, to assets in operations).
- Engaging in business development activities by presenting the capabilities of our offerings to existing and prospective clients.
- Presenting the results of the bespoke work to clients’ key stakeholders.
What You Bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical power engineering (Master’s or Ph.D. degree preferred) with relevant professional experience conducting power system analysis both in steady and transient states (minimum 8 years of experience) related to transmission and generation solution designs and EMT dynamic studies.
- Knowledge and experience in power system analysis, including insulation coordination and switching studies mainly oriented to validate the equipment insulation levels and CB capabilities. Deep understanding of causes, effects, and mitigation measures of Power Systems EMT phenomena like slow, fast, and very fast transient overvoltage, TRV, zero crossing missing, inrush, among others.
- Knowledge and experience in EMT dynamic and control stability studies of large-interconnected Power Systems, like detailed SSO and control interaction studies. Experience in developing/handling EMT models for synchronous and inverter-based generation, transmission (AC and DC) assets, drives, load, and grid stabilization equipment.
- Experience in power system simulation programs (e.g., PSCAD/EMTDC, EMTP-RV, PSS/E, TARA, PSLF, PowerFactory DigSilent, ETAP, MATLAB/Simulink).
- Hands-on expertise in programming tools such as Python, FORTRAN, MATLAB, etc.
- Superior ability to communicate technical and business strategies orally and in writing, think creatively and analytically, apply problem-solving skills within a consulting environment.
- Proficient language skill in English is required. Others like Spanish or German would be appreciated.
- Flexibility to travel as needed, up to 40%.
