Job Description

Summary

  • Grid Technology and Project team of ENOWA is seeking to recruit several candidates to support the team in areas such as protection simulations, railways power supply system simulations, and insulation coordination with excellent experience in RMS or EMT simulation tools and system design. The candidates must have detailed understandings of applicable IEC and IEEE studies standards and engineering recommendations to power systems with high penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs).
  • The successful candidate will be expected to conduct system studies to de-risk construction of the world’s first energy storage assisted converter dominated grid in NEOM which will be supplied from 100% renewable power generations.
  • Besides the above technical competencies, interpersonal and communication skills, teamwork, and ability to work independently or with minimum supervision are essential for the role.

Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities

Planning & Strategy

  • Contribute to the design and implementation of NEOM’s grid, guided by simple principle of the best overall performance at the lowest costs.
  • Work closely with team of engineers at NEOM and industry, particularly, to conduct and review studies and assess technical options presented to NEOM.
  • To be part of in-house expertise in modeling, control and simulations, which will be responsible for initiation and development of bespoke solutions for challenges that may emerge during system planning, engineering and implementation.
  • Contribute to overall vision of NEOM grid which includes refinement of grid topology, control, operation and protection, and implementation of power electronic interfacing of energy storage systems.
  • Support delivery team during project executions and engineering team.

Background, Skills & Qualifications

Role specific requirements

Successful candidate must demonstrate competency in some of the following areas:

  • Protection simulations of power networks that include power electronics (HVDC links, FACTS devices, wind farms, solar farms and BESS) and conventional power plants.
  • Simulation of various railways power supply solutions, for example, conventional AC with autotransformers, DC and SFC based AC, and various power quality issues.
  • Systems design aspects related to various busbar configurations and their impacts on system security, reliability and protection.
  • Insulation coordination studies.
  • Broader understanding of the power system and specialized area to enable effective contribution to quality control and quality assurance within the team.
  • Proficient in RMS tools (power factory and PSS/E) and EMT(PSCAD/EMTDC).
  • Writing of high-quality technical reports (technical sound and accurate, strong arguments and supported by evidence and correct interpretation of the results of system studies, and concise and maximum clarity), and good presentation skills.
  • Good organization and management skills.

General requirements

  • Strong communication skills
  • Creativity in innovation and technology selection
  • Ability and willingness to travel when necessary
  • Able to work independently without supervision
  • Ability to analyze and resolve complex issues, both logical and interpersonal
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to be a team player that motivates and educates other team members and comprehends complex, technical subjects
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to effectively interact with a diverse group of individuals

Qualifications

BSc with minimum 8 years experience

MSc with minimum 6 years experience

PhD with minimum 4 years experience, all in relevant areas of electrical engineering field.
