YOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY:
Power System Protection Engineer III is a senior-level engineering position responsible for performing protection studies and developing relay settings to support the implementation, commissioning, and testing of protection systems for electrical power networks. This role focuses on designing and applying protection strategies for medium and high-voltage systems serving mission critical, commercial, and industrial facilities. The position requires advanced technical expertise, the ability to work independently on complex protection challenges, and the capability to mentor and train other engineering staff.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Design, specification, setting calculation, and coordination of protective relaying and relay control schemes.
Develop protection schemes and relay settings for electrical equipment, including transformers, generators, transmission lines, feeders, and buses, in accordance with client requirements and system specifications.
Develop and configure protection relay settings, including overcurrent, differential, distance and backup protection relays.
Perform coordination studies to ensure proper relay operation and minimize system downtime during fault conditions.
Use power system modeling tools (e.g. ETAP, SKM, CAPE, ASPEN) to simulate and analyze protection systems, fault scenarios, and equipment ratings.
Conduct studies such as fault analysis, short circuit, AC and DC arc flash and harmonics studies.
Support field testing, commissioning, and validation of protection relays and control systems to ensure proper operation and compliance with project requirements.
Diagnose and troubleshoot relay protection issues, perform root cause analysis, and develop corrective actions for mis-operations or unexpected trips.
Collaborate with other engineers, project managers, and clients to ensure the successful implementation of protection systems.
Prepare technical documentation, including relay settings, test reports, system protection studies, and coordination diagrams.
Ensure compliance with applicable industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., IEEE, IEC, NEC, NFPA 70E, NERC).
Act as a proactive technical leader, guiding project teams, solving complex protection challenges, and supporting project execution across all phases from design through commissioning.
