Senior Power System Studies Engineer

Why Nexus

You’ll own a piece of what you build. Nexus is employee-owned through our ESOP, so the value you help create comes back to you — not just outside shareholders. We give senior engineers real ownership of the work and a voice in how it’s done.

• Employee ownership (ESOP) — build equity in the firm as it grows
• Ownership of high-impact studies for industrial clients
• A senior seat — shape methodology, mentor engineers, and work directly with clients
• Full-service EPCm exposure, from concept through startup, across a diverse client base
• A clear path toward lead, principal, and discipline leadership
• Flexible work arrangements where business needs allow

• Lead and own power system studies end-to-end — scoping, modeling, analysis, quality control, and the final client-ready report
• Build and validate models in ETAP, Easy Power, or SKM Power
  * Tools, as the study requires
• Perform the full range of studies: load flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device and relay coordination
• Additional studies as required include dynamic and/or static motor‑starting, harmonics, ground grid analysis, transient stability, and lightning analysis
• Create and analyze relay setting files and coordinate protection schemes
• Serve as a technical point of contact for clients — scoping work, gathering data, and presenting findings and recommendations
• Review and QC studies produced by junior engineers, and mentor them on modeling, analysis, and standards
• Help develop and maintain Nexus’s study templates, methodology, and quality standards
• Travel occasionally (2–3 times per year, up to a week) to client facilities to gather field data alongside other Nexus personnel

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
• 8+ years of experience performing power system studies for industrial clients
• Advanced, hands‑on proficiency in ETAP, Easy Power or SKM including building and validating models to complete studies
• Deep command of the core study types — load flow, short‑circuit, arc‑flash, protective device and relay coordination, motor‑starting, and harmonics — and the calculation methods behind them
• Proven ability to own studies independently, from scoping through client‑ready deliverables
• Working knowledge of applicable standards, such as IEEE 1584, IEEE 3000 Series (formerly Color Books), and NFPA 70 & 70E
• Strong written communication and reporting skills, plus working proficiency in Excel and the Microsoft Office suite

• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or active progress toward licensure
• Experience with additional analysis tools such as PSS®E, PSCAD, DIgSILENT Power Factory, Cyme, Aspen Oneliner or EMTP
• Transient stability, dynamic, or utility interconnection study experience
• Master’s degree in Power Systems, Electric Power, or Energy Systems
• Experience mentoring engineers and supporting proposals and estimating

This position primarily involves office-based (hybrid) engineering and analysis work. This role may require:

• Occasional travel, typically 2–3 times per year, up to about a week per trip
• Visits to client facilities to gather field data alongside other Nexus personnel
• The ability to work in industrial or utility environments, wearing appropriate PPE, when required
