** About the Role
** We have opportunities for Power System and Senior Power Systems Engineers (L6-8) to join us.  National Energy System Operator (NESO) are looking to hire talented Power System Engineers to join our Strategic Energy Planning function. This exciting role brings unique opportunities for a person with a passion to accelerate our progress to net zero. You will be helping to solve engineering challenges in developing energy networks and setting strategic direction for energy network plans.  

The
* Network Development & Compliance
* teams are part of the Strategic Energy Planning directorate. Their goal is to support the delivery of GB’s first Centralised Strategic Network Plan which outlines the future of GB’s energy networks with a focus on developing asset plans to facilitate the interface between high and low voltage networks, and implement a clean power system by considering potential risks around minimum demand, reactive power consumption, system inertia and short circuit level.  

As a Power Systems Engineer specialising in network development policy and compliance, you will help shape the engineering requirements, methodologies and guidance that underpin NESO’s network planning decisions. You will apply power systems expertise to develop policy, interpret relevant standards and review technical approaches and outputs, supporting consistent application of requirements and clear, evidence-based recommendations.  We currently have roles for Power System Engineers to play an important part leading on the development and analysis of future network.

The successful candidate will develop and analyse network plans to assess system performance, identify constraints, and support the development of resilient and operable network solutions. The role will involve carrying out power system studies and translating complex outputs into actionable insights to inform strategic network planning.  The successful candidates will work in collaboration with a variety of internal and external stakeholders including Transmission Owners (TOs), Distribution Network Owners (DNO’s), Offshore developers and NESO colleagues.

You will play a key role in driving a low carbon operable future for Great Britain’s energy system with implementation of the government’s CP30 target the first significant milestone

These roles can be based from Wokingham, Warwick or Glasgow and we continue to offer hybrid working from office and home. We are open to full-time and part-time applicants, as well as flexible working arrangements.
** Key Accountabilities
*** Developing network designs to support power system requirements, e.g. reinforcing network boundaries or overcoming current interface issues.
* Develop, review and maintain network development engineering policies, methodologies and guidance, translating technical requirements and standards into clear, practical approaches that support consistent network planning and decision-making.
* Working with economic engineer colleagues to undertake modelling of proposed network plans.
* Undertake technical assurance and compliance reviews of network development activities, studies and outputs against relevant standards, policies and requirements, identifying gaps, risks and improvements and supporting evidence-based recommendations.
* Undertaking and applying power system studies to assess network performance, constraints, and system behaviour.
* Identifying emerging and future system performance issues and operability challenges.
* Working with multiple NESO teams to seek their feedback on the proposed…
