Power systems engineer

Power systems engineers analyse and design the large-scale electrical networks that move power across grids. The work involves grid simulation, load forecasting, and stability studies, alongside substation commissioning, fault investigation in live infrastructure, and coordination with regulators and utilities.

They work for utilities, grid operators, and consultancies. The role suits analytically rigorous engineers comfortable with the scale and stakes of electrical infrastructure, where a single fault can affect whole regions, and who value disciplined professional judgment.
