Senior Grid Engineer – Power Systems & Compliance

About the Position

As a Senior Grid Engineer – Power Systems & Compliance, you will support the technical delivery, grid integration, and compliance of Statkraft’s renewable energy and grid services portfolio, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), synchronous condensers, solar PV, wind, and hybrid/co-located projects.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage Grid Code and G99 compliance activities, translating connection and regulatory requirements into clear technical deliverables, compliance strategies, and project programs.
• Manage projects through power system studies, modelling, technical submissions, commissioning, compliance testing, and final compliance acceptance, including EON, ION, and FON processes where applicable.
• Define, coordinate, and review power system study programs, including load flow, fault level, reactive power, harmonics, power quality, stability, RMS, EMT, and control interaction studies.
• Review and challenge consultant and OEM study methodologies, assumptions, models, and results, assessing their impact on plant design, controls, commissioning, and compliance.
• Manage technical engagement with NESO, Transmission Owners, and DNOs, coordinating technical submissions, responses, evidence, and compliance close-out activities.
• Define and review plant control and integration requirements, including PPC/MPPC, EMS, BESS, and grid-forming controls, AVR systems, synchronous condenser controls, and network operator interfaces.
• Support the wider technical ownership and integration of BESS and synchronous condenser projects, while leading grid connection, power system performance, and compliance activities for wind and solar projects.
• Work closely with Project Managers and multidisciplinary engineering teams to identify and manage technical, program, and commercial risks, review designs and contractor submissions, and support procurement and tender evaluations.
• Provide technical leadership throughout design, construction, and commissioning, assessing the compliance impact of design or equipment changes and supporting the resolution of complex technical issues.
• Provide clear, practical, and commercially aware engineering recommendations, supporting project handover into operations and providing technical guidance and mentoring to other engineers.

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant industry experience.
• Strong experience within transmission-connected generation, energy storage, grid support technologies, or major distribution-connected projects, with experience of Grid Code, G99, and network compliance.
• Strong understanding of the GB Grid Code, with experience managing projects through power system studies, commissioning, compliance testing, and final compliance acceptance.
• Demonstrable experience specifying, managing, and reviewing power system studies and models, with the technical capability to challenge methodologies, assumptions, results, and recommendations.
• Strong knowledge of voltage and reactive power control, frequency response, fault ride-through, fault levels, system stability, harmonics, and power quality.
• Experience managing technical interfaces between consultants, OEMs, EPC contractors, and network operators, alongside a good understanding of HV substations, transformers, protection, metering, and control systems.
• Experience with one or more relevant technologies, including BESS, synchronous condensers, wind, solar PV, or converter-based generation; hybrid/co-located and grid-forming BESS experience would be advantageous.
• Experience with RMS and EMT models and tools such as PowerFactory, PSCAD, PSS®E, or equivalent is desirable, although hands-on modelling expertise is not essential.
• Knowledge or experience of NESO and DNO compliance processes, EON/ION/FON, UK standards, and 132 kV, 275 kV, and/or 400 kV connections would be advantageous.
• Strong technical communication, stakeholder management, and decision-making skills, with the confidence to work independently, challenge technical assumptions, and escalate significant issues when required; Chartered Engineer status or progress towards CEng would be advantageous.
