وود تعلن عن وظيفة خبير أنظمة طاقة PSCAD / دراسات الجهد العالي والفائق في السعودية

We are seeking a highly experienced Power Systems Subject Matter Expert (SME) - PSCAD / HV & EHV Studies to serve as a Technical Authority across our portfolio of energy, oil & gas, mining, industrial and infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia.

The successful candidate will provide specialist technical leadership for complex High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) power system studies, with particular expertise in PSCAD-based switching transient and insulation coordination studies for systems operating at 69 kV and above.

The SME will act as a senior technical authority throughout the project lifecycle, supporting concept studies, FEED, detailed engineering, EPC/PMC execution, technical assurance and commissioning. In addition to advanced PSCAD studies, the role requires strong capability in ETAP-based power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, motor starting, relay/protection coordination and arc-flash studies.

* Act as the Technical Authority / SME for HV and EHV power system studies across major industrial and energy projects.
* Lead and technically assure PSCAD electromagnetic transient studies, particularly switching transient analysis and insulation coordination.
* Perform and review studies for electrical systems operating at 69 kV and above, including HV/EHV substations and associated power networks.
* Develop and validate PSCAD models for complex electrical networks, equipment and switching scenarios.
* Perform and technically review insulation coordination studies, including evaluation of transient and temporary overvoltages and equipment insulation requirements.
* Lead and review ETAP power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, motor starting, relay/protection coordination and arc-flash analysis.
* Review electrical system philosophies, design criteria, technical specifications, study reports and engineering deliverables.
* Provide independent technical assurance and resolve complex power-system engineering issues throughout Concept, FEED, detailed design and project execution.
* Support technical reviews, design reviews, client workshops and interdisciplinary engineering activities.
* Provide specialist technical input to proposals, tenders and business-development activities.
* Mentor and develop electrical and power-system engineers and promote consistent engineering standards and best practices.
* Maintain awareness of developments in power-system modelling, HV/EHV technology, grid integration and applicable international standards.

* Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
* Minimum 20 years of relevant power systems engineering experience, preferably within energy, oil & gas, petrochemical, mining, industrial or major infrastructure projects.
* Demonstrable expert-level experience using PSCAD for electromagnetic transient studies.
* Extensive experience in switching transient and insulation coordination studies for 69 kV and above HV/EHV systems.
* Strong practical experience with ETAP for load flow, short circuit, motor starting, relay/protection coordination and arc-flash studies.
* Strong understanding of HV/EHV substations, transformers, switchgear, transmission/distribution systems and industrial electrical networks.
* Strong knowledge of applicable IEC, IEEE and other relevant international electrical standards.
* Demonstrated experience providing technical assurance, independent design review and resolution of complex power-system engineering issues.
* Previous experience operating at Principal, SME, Technical Authority, Technical Fellow or equivalent senior specialist level is strongly preferred.
* Experience with major projects in Saudi Arabia and/or the GCC, particularly Saudi Aramco or other major industrial clients, would be advantageous.
* Strong client-facing, communication, mentoring and technical-leadership skills.
