About the role

Aurecon is looking for a Power Systems Engineer to join its Manila team. You will help design and deliver carbon‑neutral, sustainable major works by applying advanced power‑system analysis and modelling techniques.

Key responsibilities

• Undertake power‑systems studies, including grid‑connection, network planning, system‑strength impact assessment and R&D.
• Develop wide‑area network and individual equipment models using simulation tools, especially PSS®E and PSCAD/EMTDC.
• Prepare grid‑connection application documents and technical reports.
• Interface with clients and industry organisations to understand requirements and deliver solutions.
• Develop technical solutions for complex network and connection issues, and support projects in other geographies.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (PhD preferred).
• Experience with power‑system modelling tools, particularly PSCAD, PSS/E and DigSILENT PowerFactory.
• Site or practical experience in relevant power‑system projects is a plus.
• Experience in power‑system model development, coding, scripting and automation.
• Knowledge of the Australian National Electricity Rule and experience with Australian grid‑connection projects.
• Ability to perform steady‑state and dynamic studies for utility‑scale networks.
• Understanding of the generator connection process in Australia (Chapter 5/5A) and related stakeholder obligations.
• Familiarity with generator technologies such as synchronous (steam, hydro, gas) and asynchronous (solar PV, wind, BESS).
