7 Transmission Planning Jobs

Conduct advanced power system studies (steady-state load flow, short-circuit, and dynamic stability analyses) for generation grid connection projects and transmission planning studies (feasibility and design stages). Projects will be primarily across Asia-Pacific, but also in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia. Perform detailed power system modeling and simulations for grid integration of converter-based resources, including high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, renewable energy plants (solar and wind), and battery energy storage systems. Analyze their impact on the transmission network, focusing on feasibility studies and compliance with grid requirements. Prepare comprehensive technical study reports for a range of clients (energy project developers, utilities, TSOs), from high-level grid connection feasibility studies to in-depth static and dynamic study reports. Ensure findings are clearly communicated and meet the relevant standards and client expectations. Conduct complex assessments and provide specialist solutions on power system issues. This may include performing generator or converter model validations, stability improvement strategies, and proposing mitigation measures for network constraints. You will also deliver technical presentations and training to internal teams and external clients, sharing knowledge on topics such as HVDC integration, grid stability, and emerging technologies (eg HVDC links, STATCOMs, and grid-forming inverter technologies). Contribute to project execution by leading or coordinating complex study tasks, especially those involving converter-based resources. Deliver high-quality outputs within agreed formats and timelines. As a senior engineer, review and validate the work of junior engineers when necessary, providing mentorship and technical guidance to uphold quality and accuracy. Engage in continuous professional development and industry activities. This includes attending or presenting at conferences, participating in industry forums, and staying up to date with the latest developments in power system simulation tools and grid integration technologies to continually enhance our service offerings. Qualifications bachelors or masters degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems or related field). At least 8 years of relevant experience in power system modeling and analysis for grid connections and transmission projects. This should include hands-on experience with generation interconnection feasibility studies, transmission planning, and network stability assessments, ideally in a utility/TSO or power engineering consultancy environment. Proven knowledge and experience on performing complex transmission power system studies such as: steady state analysis, short circuit analysis, transient stability analysis, generator model validation. Any additional experience on the following fields is beneficial: electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations, cable design, protection coordination and relay settings studies, harmonic analysis, small signal stability, adequacy studies and probabilistic approaches. Proven experience in modeling and integrating HVDC systems and inverter-based resources into transmission networks, with a focus on assessing their feasibility and impact on grid stability. Familiarity with emerging grid-forming converter technologies and their application in renewable energy integration is beneficial. Experience working closely with or within transmission utilities/TSOs on interconnection projects or advanced grid studies (eg cross-border interconnectors, renewable energy integration, large-scale battery storage projects). Familiar with international grid codes and standards (eg IEC, IEEE) relevant to transmission planning and grid connection requirements. Strong proficiency in power system simulation software Siemens PSS E is essential. Experience with additional power system analysis tools such as DIgSILENT PowerFactory and/or PSCAD (in particular for electromagnetic transient studies or detailed converter modeling). Ability to automate studies using Python scripting is beneficial. Ability to manage tasks effectively under time and resource constraints, delivering results with good quality even under pressure. Excellent analytical problem-solving skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.
