About the Role
The Power Plant Lead Electrical Engineer will be responsible for conceptual design, system architecture, and feasibility studies for the electrical infrastructure of power generation systems that integrate gas turbines, PV solar, BESS, and other technologies to meet the unique energy demands of large industrial facilities and data centers. This role will report to the Chief Operations Officer. The role balances FEED-level conceptual design with hands-on electrical system simulation to validate performance, reliability, and availability, working closely with mechanical, civil, and controls teams to deliver integrated, reliable, and cost-optimized power solutions.
Responsibilities
- Develop preliminary single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical layouts, and system architectures for gas turbines, solar PV, and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
- Define HV/MV power distribution strategies, interconnection schemes, and redundancy concepts.
- Perform detailed simulations including load flow, short-circuit, stability, motor starting, arc-flash, and harmonic studies using ETAP, DIgSILENT, CYME, PSS, SKM, or equivalent.
- Model and assess system reliability and power availability (N-1/N-2 contingency, redundancy analysis) using reliability block diagrams and probabilistic methods.
- Evaluate grid interconnection requirements and compliance with international electrical standards.
- Assess reactive power compensation, harmonics, and stability impacts for seamless system integration.
- Define protective relays and power system protection strategies for reliability and safety.
- Identify key electrical components, including circuit breakers, relays, inverters, transformers, cables, and grounding systems.
- Develop preliminary equipment specifications and define procurement strategies for major electrical assets.
- Quantify system uptime and availability targets (e.g., 99.999% for data centers).
- Compare alternative configurations (radial, ring bus, dual-bus, UPS/BESS) for reliability and cost.
- Work closely with civil, mechanical, and control engineers to integrate electrical systems with plant infrastructure.
- Manage external engineering consultants to produce technical studies and design deliverables.
- Coordinate with other engineering teams (USA, South Korea, Vietnam) and provide necessary technical support in electrical design and engineering tasks.
- Provide technical input for CAPEX/OPEX estimation and feasibility studies.
- Prepare FEED-level reports, electrical schematics, and technical documentation for the next project phase.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or master’s in electrical engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related field.
- 7+ years in power plants, renewable energy, or industrial power systems with a focus on conceptual design and power system simulation.
- Advanced proficiency with Power System Analysis Software for electrical studies and reliability analysis (ETAP, DIgSILENT, CYME, PSS, SKM, or equivalent).
- Ability to model reliability and availability using simulation tools and probabilistic methods.
- Strong knowledge in HV/MV system design, protection schemes, and grid integration.
- Familiarity with electrical codes IEEE, IEC, NEC, and utility interconnection requirements.
- English proficiency.
- Strong analytical skills for early-stage electrical design and feasibility assessment.
- Experience in FEED projects for power generation, microgrids, or renewable energy.
- Ability to assess technical risks and recommend cost-effective solutions.
