Power System Engineer – Steady-state & RMS Studies (APAC)

Context:
Our T&D Power Systems team supports utilities, developers, and investors in addressing grid
integration challenges for generation and transmission projects, including renewable energy,
battery storage, and HVDC interconnections.
You will be part of a global team delivering power system studies across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the
Middle East, and Africa, contributing to both project execution and technical development.
Regular working days: Mon-Fri., 8 hours/day, 5 days/week
Responsibilities:
1. Power system studies execution
Perform steady-state and dynamic power system studies, including load flow, contingency, short-circuit, RMS stability, voltage stability and reactive power assessments.
Develop and maintain network models using PSS®E and/or DIgSILENT PowerFactory
Define study assumptions, scenarios, and contingencies.
Interpret study results, identify network constraints and stability risks, and develop technically justified mitigation measures.
Conduct complex technical assessments and develop specialist solutions for power system challenges, including generator and converter model validation, dynamic model tuning, stability enhancement strategies, and mitigation of network constraints.
Investigate model convergence, initialization and dynamic performance issues, identify root causes, and implement robust technical solutions.
2. Grid integration & renewable projects
Contribute to grid connection studies for: solar, wind, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), HVDC and other converter-based technologies
Assess system impacts of inverter-based resources and propose mitigation measures
3. Project delivery & coordination
Lead the technical execution of studies from project initiation through final reporting with a high degree of independence and accountability.
Coordinate with internal teams for inputs, modelling, and validation
Review and validate work from junior engineers where required
Lead selected study tasks and provide technical guidance to junior engineers
Demonstrate a proactive approach to identifying problems, proposing practical solutions, testing them, and driving their implementation through to resolution.
Exercise sound engineering judgement by critically reviewing modelling assumptions, challenging simulation results where appropriate, and ensuring technical quality and consistency throughout the study.
4. Reporting & client interaction
Prepare clear and structured technical reports and deliverables
Present results and conclusions to internal teams and clients
Support technical discussions with clients when required
5. Continuous development
Contribute to internal knowledge sharing and technical improvement
Stay updated on developments in grid integration and power system analysis
Support the development and adoption of internal tools, automation scripts and AI-assisted workflows to improve engineering efficiency and study quality.
Experience
Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (Power Systems or Power System Study).
Typically 8-10+ years of experience in power system studies, either in Malaysia or Global
Experience in grid connection, transmission planning, or renewable integration projects/study
Strong knowledge and experience working with TNB network and grid requirements
Experience liaising and collaborating with TNB, GSO, and Single Buyer is highly desirable
Involvement in any ST schemes (LSS, CRESS, Selco, BESS) is an advantage
Exposure to both utility/TSO and developer-driven projects is an advantage
Technical competencies
Strong experience in load flow, contingency, short-circuit, power quality, voltage stability and RMS stability studies.
Demonstrated expertise in developing, tuning, calibrating and validating dynamic power system models, with the ability to troubleshoot complex modelling issues and deliver technically credible simulations suitable for engineering decision-making.
Ability to define study scope and assumptions, structure analyses independently, interpret and challenge results
Ability to critically assess simulation credibility by questioning modelling assumptions, validating results against engineering principles, and distinguishing modelling artefacts from genuine system behaviour.
Practical experience with renewable energy integration (solar, wind, BESS), HVDC or converter-based resources
Strong understanding of transmission planning criteria, grid codes, and power system operating principles.
Tools
