Grid Studies - Senior Expert/Team Leader

GRID STUDIES - SENIOR EXPERT / TEAM LEADER

• Are you skilled in the development and delivery of studies related to grid compliance and renewable energy?
• Can you deliver consultancy services to an expert level on an international scale?

As Team Leader / Senior Expert the candidate will be part of our team that works on planning and operational network studies. After a first period of integration and familiarization with our methodology and approach in the Headquarters, the business activity will also require the availability of periods abroad.

As the Senior Expert/Team Leader, you will:

• Have advanced and well-proven knowledge of the electrical power system modelling and static/dynamic behaviour and shall also be acquainted with the application of common software tools for network modelling (e.g. mainly PSSE and DigSilent and their libraries/modules, but also Neplan, Etap or equivalent).
• Perform simulation and analysis of complex power system steady state and dynamic behaviour, develop mathematical models for reliability assessment of electrical networks, and deliver technical consulting/training services.
• Lead teams of study engineers in execution of consulting projects; provide critical technical guidance to team members.
• Support to generate consulting proposals, deliver consulting services, and perform project management functions, all as per internal quality standards, creating technical reports documenting the study process and results.
• Directly interact with the clients and shall guarantee the excellence of the delivery in full compliance with the technical and economic targets of the project. For the execution of the projects, the candidate will coordinate the activities of junior engineers.

Skills:

• Extensive knowledge of transmission system planning and system reliability assessment, with experience in transfer capability analysis, optimal power flow analysis, steady state and stability analysis, as well as transmission expansion planning.
• Demonstrated expertise in development of dynamic simulation models, including models for advanced power systems technologies, such as renewable energy, FACTS and energy storage systems.
• Expertise in transient and voltage stability analysis, including reactive power planning.
• Expertise in using PSSE and DigSilent and other products in their libraries/modules, as well as Neplan and Etap tools.

Qualifications / Experience

Education: Master's degree in electrical engineering or related fields/topics

Years of Experience: At least 10 years of power engineering and/or consulting experience with 5+ years of proven leadership performance

Managerial skills:

• Optimization of internal and external resources,
• Project coordination and scheduling,
• Flexibility to lead consultancy in very different counties,
• Capability to interact with the client.

Technical skills:

• Main methodologies for planning and operational studies (static - e.g. load-flow, reliability, short-circuit, ...; dynamic - e.g. VSA, TSA, DSA, SSSA, ...);
• Software tools for network modelling (e.g. PSSE, DigSilent and related libraries/modules, Neplan and Etap or equivalent);
• Strong computer programming skills including proficiency in C, FORTRAN, Python, and MATLAB;
• Experience in power system course instruction.

Languages: Fluency in English is required. The knowledge of other foreign languages will be considered a plus, particularly Spanish, Italian, French or Arabic.
