Manila, National Capital Region, Philippines Aurecon Full time

Want to bring ideas to life?

As an engineer you're no doubt aware of Aurecon – we've been a leading design, engineering, and advisory company for decades. But why should you choose to join us?

Every project Aurecon delivers leaves a legacy. Every project has sustainability embedded in decision making. And every project is at the leading-edge of technical eminence.

But it really comes down to one, crucial question: what kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything – from the local community to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: Who do you decide to work for?

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what's next?

As our new Power Systems Engineer, you'll be a vital part of the team who are changing the way we design and deliver major works to be carbon neutral and sustainable.

Your role will include

  • Undertaking power systems studies, including grid-connection, network planning, system strength impact assessment and research and development
  • Developing wide-area network and individual equipment models in a range of simulation tools and in particular PSSE and PSCAD/EMTDC
  • Preparing grid connection application documents and technical reports
  • Interfacing with a wide range of clients and other industry organisations
  • Developing technical solutions to complex network and connection issues

What are we looking for from you?

You'll have a genuine passion for re-imagining problems and continuous learning to help shape the future.

We value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life.

This role will require an adequate understanding of electrical engineering and power systems theory relating to electricity transmission, distribution and generation, and associated control and protection principles.

Education / Experience and Other Skills: 

  • A Bachelor's or Master of Electrical Engineering degree and a PhD degree will be favourable
  • Experience in power system modelling tools, particularly with PSCAD, PSS/E, and Power Factory, will support your success in this role
  • Site and practical experience in a relevant area are also a plus for this role, as is experience in power system model development, coding, scripting and automation
  • Knowledge of the Australian National Electricity Rule and past experience with Australian grid connection projects
  • Power system analysis for utility-scale networks including steady state and dynamic system studies
  • Experienced working with DigSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD, PSS/E, and the ability to guide and mentor younger team members
  • Thorough understanding of the generator connection process in Australia (Chapter 5 and 5A) and the obligations of each party (NSPs, AEMO, Proponent etc)
  • Knowledgeable in one or more generator technologies such as synchronous (steam, hydro, gas etc) or asynchronous (solar PV, wind, BESS etc)
  • Demonstrated significant post-graduation experience for Senior Engineers and Lead Engineer
