Job Description Summary As the Principal Engineer, you will be specialising in HVDC System design, responsible to interpret the customer’s technical enquiry and to design the most cost-effective overall solution for an HVDC installation utilising the PES power electronics solutions, aiming to minimising the total cost, and to specify the main (high-value) items of bought-out equipment for HVDC Projects. As the successful candidate, you will also be involved in the development and industrialisation of tools and processes and will have technical knowledge and experience in the field of power system engineering (academic and professional). Job Description Role Overview: As part of the role, the candidate will be required to represent GE in front of external stakeholders such as clients, third party suppliers, professional bodies (IEC, Cigré, etc). You will also interact with GE stakeholders within the HVDC business and the wider GE renewables organisation. The candidate will also have the opportunity to develop innovative ideas and publish their work internationally in scientific papers and patents. Essential responsibilities: The successful candidate may be involved in any of the following areas and is expected to have experience in a number of these areas: Providing subject matter expert input to design reviews and verifying project proposals. Work with other engineers, suppliers, and clients to ensure successful project outcomes. Mentoring and developing a team of engineers to build HVDC expertise. Collaborating with global engineering teams to contribute to product development and emerging technologies. Developing and maintaining technical specifications, guidance notes, and standards for HVDC systems. Develop an integrated scheme design that meets the Customer’s needs, by developing requirements on the ratings and functionalities of the different HVDC system’s subsystems, in an optimised and cost-effective manner. Manage the lifecycle of high economic value High Voltage equipment such as power transformers, instrument transformers, reactors, capacitors, and surge arresters, covering the development of its requirements, specification, supplier management and the validation and verification (testing) of design, manufacturing and commissioning. Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Studies and Management Create, verify, and validate the electrical power losses models for HVDC systems and subsystems, providing insight to customers and leaders and managing the risks, issues and opportunities that affect the systems throughout their lifecycle. Report or resolve any non-conformances in a timely manner. Identify and evaluate EHS risks in own area and implement practical measures. Set the example by demonstrating the proper acts and actively observe work conditions and behaviours, giving constructive feedback and celebrating EHS effective prevention. Actively participate in defining corrective actions when work is unsafe or when an uncontrolled risk is observed. Routinely observe routines and behaviours of others and provide immediate feedback regarding unsafe behaviour and celebrates achievements or safe behaviours. Actively and routinely promote the identification of hazards and near misses to their team/s.
