Electrical Studies Engineer II

Short Description

Bowman has an opportunity for an Electrical Studies Engineer II to join our team remotely in the United States.

Focuses on Power System Electrical Studies mostly for utility-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. Perform, review and coordinate studies and analysis including Thermal Ampacity, Short Circuit, Reactive Power and Load Flow, Grounding, Protection Coordination, Insulation Coordination, Transient and Switching Overvoltage, and Arc Flash. Knowledge of Substation, Solar PV, and BESS design is beneficial but not required; a Professional Engineer (PE) license is preferred but not required.

• Receive broad guidance relating to overall key objectives, critical issues, new concepts, and policy matters and general parameters for execution. Receive direction as needed, especially on highly complex Power System Studies and Interconnection assignments. Independently apply extensive and diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices in broad areas of assignments and related fields. Review work produced by staff and sub-consultants for quality assurance.

• Supporting existing and prospective clients and enhancing client relationships through efficient communication and project management
• Represent project team in client communications and

• Perform electrical studies including, but not limited to, AC short circuit calculations, DC short circuit calculations, AC arc flash, DC arc flash, load flow, grounding, ampacity studies, and protection device coordination, transient and switching overvoltage using SKM, ETAP, PSSE, WinIGS, CYMCAP, PSCAD or similar software packages.
• Develop study scopes, assumptions, methodologies, model input, data requests and calculation packages.
• Build, validate, and maintain electrical models for collector system, substations, inverter-based resources, and auxiliary systems.
• Responsible for more complex tasks and designs within project
• Review study inputs, results, reports, and recommendations, provide QA/QC and technical feedback.
• Coordinate with PV/BESS design engineers, substation engineers, OEMs, utilities, and contractors to support project milestones.
