## Description

We are seeking a highly experienced Power Systems Subject Matter Expert (SME) – PSCAD / HV & EHV Studies to serve as a Technical Authority across our portfolio of energy, oil & gas, mining, industrial and infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia. The successful candidate will provide specialist technical leadership for complex High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) power system studies, with particular expertise in PSCAD-based switching transient and insulation coordination studies for systems operating at 69 kV and above. The SME will act as a senior technical authority throughout the project lifecycle, supporting concept studies, FEED, detailed engineering, EPC/PMC execution, technical assurance and commissioning. In addition to advanced PSCAD studies, the role requires strong capability in ETAP-based power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, motor starting, relay/protection coordination and arc-flash studies.

## Requirements

* Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline. * Minimum 20 years of relevant power systems engineering experience, preferably within energy, oil & gas, petrochemical, mining, industrial or major infrastructure projects. * Demonstrable expert-level experience using PSCAD for electromagnetic transient studies. * Extensive experience in switching transient and insulation coordination studies for 69 kV and above HV/EHV systems. * Strong practical experience with ETAP for load flow, short circuit, motor starting, relay/protection coordination and arc-flash studies. * Strong understanding of HV/EHV substations, transformers, switchgear, transmission/distribution systems and industrial electrical networks. * Strong knowledge of applicable IEC, IEEE and other relevant international electrical standards. * Demonstrated experience providing technical assurance, independent design review and resolution of complex power-system engineering issues. * Previous experience operating at Principal, SME, Technical Authority, Technical Fellow or equivalent senior specialist level is strongly preferred. * Experience with major projects in Saudi Arabia and/or the GCC, particularly Saudi Aramco or other major industrial clients, would be advantageous. * Strong client-facing, communication, mentoring and technical-leadership skills.
