JOB TITLE: POWER SYSTEM CONSULTANT (PSS/E & PSCAD) - OFFSHORE WIND
LOCATION: FULLY REMOTE ROLE
ASSIGNMENT LENGTH: INITIAL 6 MONTH CONTRACT; 15-APR-2026 - 15-OCT-2026, POSSIBILITY OF EXTENSION
WORK SCHEDULE: 5 DAYS A WEEK / 8 HOURS PER DAY
IR35: INSIDE IR35
JOB DESCRIPTION
1. Role Objective
We are seeking a proactive, flexible consultant to support offshore wind farm projects within a leading global green energy portfolio. You will deliver high-quality power system studies primarily in PSS/E (RMS/steady-state) and PSCAD (EMT), collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, and adapt to evolving project priorities and workloads.
2. Key Responsibilities
- Support projects at various phases (development, design, execution, and operation) by conducting studies and providing grid-connection support.
- Develop, integrate, and validate EMT and RMS models for relevant assets such as wind turbine generators, plant controllers, HVAC/HVDC interfaces, and STATCOM/SVC as applicable.
- Plan and execute grid compliance and design studies in PSS/E, including load flow, short circuit, dynamic RMS performance, contingencies, and sensitivity studies.
- Plan and execute EMT studies in PSCAD, focusing on faults, disturbances, control interactions, protection phenomena, insulation coordination, energization, converter/control performance, and harmonic/transient behaviour as relevant.
- Work with vendor/OEM models: coordinate provisioning, model validation, parameterisation, updates, and version control to ensure their fit-for-purpose application in studies.
- Produce clear, audit-ready documentation for internal review and external submission (grid code evidence packs, study reports, model validation notes, assumptions, and limitations).
- Summarise findings and recommend mitigations, ensuring technical quality aligned with established methodologies and QA processes across multiple projects and stakeholders.
3. Requirements
- Degree in Electrical/Power Systems Engineering (BEng/MSc/PhD) or equivalent experience.
- Minimum 5 years' hands-on experience with PSCAD for EMT studies, including relevant modules and workflows.
- Strong, proven experience with PSS/E covering steady-state and RMS dynamic analyses for grid compliance and design work.
- Demonstrated experience working with vendor-supplied models (confidential models, black-box components) and parameterisation for compliance evidence.
- Scripting/automation skills for study execution and post-processing (Python for PSS/E, MATLAB/Python for result handling and tooling to improve repeatability and QA).
- Experience coordinating with OEMs for model delivery, validation, and updates; strong data confidentiality practices.
- Strong communication skills, able to produce concise technical reports and stakeholder-ready material.
- Ability to work independently while following established methodologies, documentation standards, and QA processes.
- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to engage and work collaboratively within a team.
4. Resources Provided
A laptop and all necessary software licenses and access (including PSS/E and PSCAD) will be supplied.
5. Engagement Terms
- No additional certifications required.
- No travel required; the role is fully remote.
- Contract basis, billed per hour or per day.
- Flexible allocation subject to project demands and priorities.
