Role Purpose
Serve as Technical Authority for complex High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) power system studies throughout the project lifecycle, from concept through commissioning. Deliver expert-level PSCAD switching transient and insulation coordination analysis for systems at 69 kV and above, combined with comprehensive ETAP power system study capability and independent technical assurance.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Authority
- Act as Technical Authority and SME for HV and EHV power system studies across major industrial and energy projects.
- Provide senior technical leadership and specialist technical input to proposals, tenders and business-development activities.
- Mentor and develop electrical and power-system engineers and promote consistent engineering standards and best practices.
PSCAD Studies & Electromagnetic Transient Analysis
- Lead and technically assure PSCAD electromagnetic transient studies, particularly switching transient analysis and insulation coordination.
- Develop and validate PSCAD models for complex electrical networks, equipment and switching scenarios.
- Perform and review studies for electrical systems operating at 69 kV and above, including HV/EHV substations and associated power networks.
- Perform and technically review insulation coordination studies, including evaluation of transient and temporary overvoltages and equipment insulation requirements.
ETAP Power System Studies
- Lead and review ETAP power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, motor starting, relay/protection coordination and arc-flash analysis.
Design Review & Technical Assurance
- Review electrical system philosophies, design criteria, technical specifications, study reports and engineering deliverables.
- Provide independent technical assurance and resolve complex power-system engineering issues throughout Concept, FEED, detailed design and project execution.
- Demonstrate experience providing technical assurance, independent design review and resolution of complex power-system engineering issues.
Project Support & Collaboration
- Support the project lifecycle across concept studies, FEED, detailed engineering, EPC/PMC execution, technical assurance and commissioning.
- Support technical reviews, design reviews, client workshops and interdisciplinary engineering activities.
- Maintain awareness of developments in power-system modelling, HV/EHV technology, grid integration and applicable international standards.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
- Minimum 20 years of relevant power systems engineering experience, preferably within energy, oil & gas, petrochemical, mining, industrial or major infrastructure projects.
- Demonstrable expert-level experience using PSCAD for electromagnetic transient studies.
- Extensive experience in switching transient and insulation coordination studies for 69 kV and above HV/EHV systems.
- Strong practical experience with ETAP for load flow, short circuit, motor starting, relay/protection coordination and arc-flash studies.
- Strong understanding of HV/EHV substations, transformers, switchgear, transmission/distribution systems and industrial electrical networks.
- Strong knowledge of applicable IEC, IEEE and other relevant international electrical standards.
- Previous experience operating at Principal, SME, Technical Authority, Technical Fellow or equivalent senior specialist level is strongly preferred.
- Experience with major projects in Saudi Arabia and/or the GCC, particularly Saudi Aramco or other major industrial clients, would be advantageous.
Skills & Competencies
- Expert-level PSCAD modelling and electromagnetic transient analysis.
- Advanced ETAP power system study capability.
- Strong client-facing, communication, mentoring and technical-leadership skills.
- Independent technical design review and problem-solving for complex power-system engineering challenges.
