Senior Power Systems Engineer

Job Description

Our dedicated Power Systems team play a key role in designing and delivering major projects in multiple international locations. The Power Systems team supports our Critical Systems teams which focus on hyper scale data centres, and also supports our Building Services teams on other major construction projects across the business. The Power Systems team is also expanding in new business areas such as large-scale renewables.

As a leader in this market, we were one of the first consultancies to design air optimised data centres and are at the forefront of this cooling strategy, which has resulted in attaining the first ever BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating awarded to a data centre and significantly contributed to others achieving LEED ‘Gold’, or even targeting ‘Platinum’ status.

The team are a source of world leading expertise – and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence.

The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and talented Electrical Power Systems Engineer to join our Warsaw office team to work on the design of some of the most exciting projects in Europe.

You will be required to have good working knowledge of ETAP and/or SKM-PTW MV systems analysis software. To be fully conversant in power systems and support/undertake:

• grid substations design,
• CT calculations,
• differential protection stability slopes,
• rate of rise voltage calculations,
• substation design,
• running power systems studies,
• writing power system reports.

The role will suit someone who is already experienced in the design of medium voltage distribution systems. The role will involve power plant systems analysis on HV, MV and LV distribution on data centre and other projects, from plant upgrades through to 100MW+ hyperscale projects.

You will have an opportunity to grow your knowledge by working with highly technical and supporting colleagues.
