What We’re Looking For:
• Up to 10 years’ experience in power systems, with 3-5 years in net-zero grids.
• Strong understanding of grid management and power distribution.
• Ability to work with energy providers and industry partners.
• Eligible for sponsorship (EU candidates welcome).
Qualifications

Education:
• A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related field) is essential.
• A Master’s degree or higher is a plus.
Experience:
• Hands-on experience in power system engineering, with a strong focus on system design, analysis, and protection.
• Experience leading and managing engineering teams on large-scale projects.
• Familiarity with power system modelling software, such as ETAP, PSS/E, DigSILENT Power Factory, CYME, or similar tools.
Skills & Expertise:
• Strong knowledge of power system components, including transformers, circuit breakers, relays, and control systems.
• Expertise in power system analysis, protection, and control.
• Experience working on renewable energy integration and grid modernisation projects.
• Proficiency in electrical CAD software, simulation tools, and system modelling.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a diverse team.
