About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead and own power system studies end-to-end — scoping, modeling, analysis, quality control, and the final client-ready report.
Build and validate models in ETAP, EasyPower, or SKM Power*Tools, as the study requires.
Perform the full range of studies: load flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device and relay coordination.
Additional studies as required include dynamic and/or static motor-starting, harmonics, ground grid analysis, transient stability, and lightning analysis.
Create and analyze relay setting files and coordinate protection schemes.
Serve as a technical point of contact for clients — scoping work, gathering data, and presenting findings and recommendations.
Review and QC studies produced by junior engineers, and mentor them on modeling, analysis, and standards.
Help develop and maintain Nexus’s study templates, methodology, and quality standards.
Travel occasionally (2–3 times per year, up to a week) to client facilities to gather field data alongside other Nexus personnel.

Deep command of the core study types — load flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device and relay coordination, motor-starting, and harmonics — and the calculation methods behind them.
Proven ability to own studies independently, from scoping through client-ready deliverables.
Working knowledge of applicable standards, such as IEEE 1584, IEEE 3000 Series (formerly Color Books), and NFPA 70 & 70E.
Strong written communication and reporting skills, plus working proficiency in Excel and the Microsoft Office suite.
Professional Engineer (PE) license, or active progress toward licensure. (Preferred)
Experience with additional analysis tools such as PSS®E, PSCAD, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Cyme, Aspen Oneliner or EMTP. (Preferred)
Transient stability, dynamic, or utility interconnection study experience. (Preferred)
Master’s degree in Power Systems, Electric Power, or Energy Systems. (Preferred)
