This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Protection Engineer based in the United States. The Senior Protection Engineer will serve as a technical authority in power system protection, short-circuit analysis, and protection-system modeling, supporting utility clients and complex grid infrastructure projects. This role combines advanced engineering analysis with technical leadership across transmission systems, substations, renewable generation facilities, and generator interconnections. You will develop and validate protection models, assess system performance, and recommend solutions that strengthen grid reliability and safety. Working closely with utilities, engineering teams, and project stakeholders, you will guide studies from initial planning through implementation and commissioning. The position also offers opportunities to mentor engineers, improve technical standards, and contribute to regulatory compliance. This opportunity offers hybrid or fully remote flexibility, with periodic travel and field engagement depending on project needs. Accountabilities: The Senior Protection Engineer will lead protection engineering studies, provide technical oversight, and ensure the accuracy and quality of power system analyses and design recommendations. Key responsibilities include: - Serve as a subject matter expert in power system protection, providing technical leadership for protection studies, modeling, calculations, and engineering decisions. - Develop, maintain, and validate protection and short-circuit models using ASPEN OneLiner, PSS®CAPE, or comparable software. - Perform and support utility interconnection studies and cluster studies for transmission systems, substations, renewable generation facilities, and other electric power infrastructure. - Conduct short-circuit analyses to evaluate fault current, relay coordination, equipment-duty requirements, and protection-system performance.
- Assess the impact of new generation and transmission facilities on existing power systems, identifying protection gaps, coordination issues, and equipment operating beyond rated fault-duty limits. - Perform protection studies involving transmission lines, transformers, buses, generators, collector systems, and substation equipment. - Develop, review, and validate protective-relay philosophies, settings, coordination schemes, and application criteria. - Review utility protection requirements, interconnection standards, planning criteria, and modeling requirements. - Prepare technically defensible reports documenting assumptions, methodologies, results, identified risks, and recommended mitigation measures. - Conduct technical reviews and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) of protection studies, short-circuit models, calculations, relay-setting files, and engineering reports. - Coordinate with utility engineers, clients, project managers, design engineers, and other stakeholders to obtain system data, resolve technical questions, and communicate findings. - Establish and maintain study templates, modeling conventions, engineering methodologies, QA/QC procedures, and technical best practices. - Provide guidance and troubleshooting support for ASPEN OneLiner, PSS®CAPE, and related power system analysis tools. - Mentor engineers and provide technical oversight for protection engineering and system-study assignments. - Support regulatory and NERC compliance activities throughout applicable project phases, from conceptual design through testing and commissioning. - Maintain working knowledge of applicable utility requirements, NERC reliability standards, IEEE standards, NFPA requirements, the National Electrical Code, and other relevant codes and standards.
