Provide specialist protection-system studies and engineering advice to reduce network risk, strengthen equipment protection and improve the reliability and effectiveness of electricity-network protection arrangements.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct studies on protection of the electrical network and identify measures to mitigate system and equipment risks.
- Assess protection-related issues affecting network security, reliability and operational performance.
- Review monitoring and quality of electrical equipment and recommend improvements that enhance efficiency and reliability.
- Provide protection-engineering input to network development, new substation, generation and operational studies where required.
- Support evaluation of protection implications arising from network modifications and changing system conditions.
- Prepare specialist technical studies, calculations, reports and engineering recommendations for client review.
- Coordinate protection-study findings with planning, operations, communications/control and other relevant engineering disciplines.
Candidate Profile
- Significant utility protection-engineering and power-system protection study experience.
- Strong knowledge of protection principles for transmission/sub-transmission networks and associated equipment.
- Competence in recognised protection/power-system study tools and technical report preparation.
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline; professional registration advantageous.
