System Engineering Manager

**Job Description Summary**: Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Responsible for departmental operations planning/execution or is focused on execution of professional activities within a technical discipline. Functions with some autonomy but guided by established policies or review of end results.
The job allows modification of procedures and practices covering work as long as the end results meet standards of acceptability (quality, volume, timeliness etc.).

The Central Europe **Grid System Integration**(GSI) team delivers a wide range of high voltage transmission projects, including the connection of new generation & grid stability projects, and is looking for a Power Systems Engineer to lead the conceptual design of substations, the definition of main electrical equipment parameters and lead specific electrical studies.
- These projects typically include:_
- New high voltage transmission substations
- Expansion and reinforcement of existing transmission substations and networks
- On and Offshore substations to facilitate windfarm connections and other renewable technologies.
- Network compensation and stability projects
- Energy Storage Projects

**Your Mission**:
You will conduct electrical components integration and interfaces. All activities that span multiple electrical components and are concerned with how to integrate for maximum performance and operability.

You will develop solutions, undertake or lead a range of studies to develop an optimized substation’s design consulting.
- Understanding the customers’ power system requirements, regulatory constrains and standards that need to be adhered to.
- Engage with the Customer, as required, to articulate the Power System solution and answer questions or queries that may be raised.
- Work closely with the mechanical-electrical teams and ensure that the practical realization of the Power System design is an efficient and cost-effective as possible.
- Manage any third-party resources, engage to undertake more detailed studies, such as harmonic analysis, lighting study, noise study, required to further develop the proposed design, including the validation of the work produced.
- Understand substations design criteria such as earthing calculation, arc pressure calculation.

**Key Requirements**:

- Ms Sc or Ph.D. in Power or Electrical Engineering with relevant hands-on experience
- Experience and knowledge in electrical studies on high voltage transmission systems
- Electrical Load Flow and Equipment Sizing knowledge
- Reactive Power Management & Harmonic Management understanding
- Availability Studies & Insulation Coordination experience
- Speaking German would be in advantage

**Desired Characteristics**:
You will be confident to discuss these complex topics with Customers and Consultants and be able to propose solutions or improvements needed to create successful concepts that can then be delivered. Furthermore, you will also be able to bridge the gap between the system studies and practical design realization, and be able to provide guidance to the electrical-mechanical teams who will create the detail design.

You will be a team player, with good communication and interpersonal skills, be capable of self-management, and have a high degree of flexibility, resilience and a self-learning attitude.
