We are currently recruiting for a Senior Power Systems Engineer to help strengthen our power system analysis team. This role is based in Bristol.
Candidates should have a master's in electrical engineering, or a related field, and have a good understanding of electrical engineering theory and power systems analysis. The candidate should be confident in liaising with clients, managing project delivery and supporting junior staff members.
The ideal candidate should have 5+ years' experience gained within a consultancy, ICP, DNO, or similar environment and at least 4 years' experience in power system studies and simulation, or have a related background in power system protection.
