Senior Power System Studies Engineer - REMOTE

Nexus Engineering Group is an employee-owned, full-service engineering, procurement, and construction management firm. The company is seeking a Senior Power System Studies Engineer to lead industrial power system studies, including modeling, analysis, quality control, and client-ready reporting. The role also serves as a client technical contact, mentors junior engineers, and helps develop study methodologies and standards.

Responsibilities:

• 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, (and EasyPower or SKM), 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

Requirements:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of experience performing power system studies for industrial clients
• Advanced, hands-on proficiency in ETAP, building and validating models to complete studies
• Additional software proficiency includes EasyPower or SKM, however, ETAP proficiency is a must
• 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
• 8+ years of experience is preferred
• Experience with additional analysis tools such as PSS®E, PSCAD, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Cyme, Aspen Oneliner or EMTP
• Transient stability, dynamic, or utility interconnection study experience
• Master's degree in Power Systems, Electric Power, or Energy Systems
• Experience mentoring engineers and supporting proposals and estimating
