Offer description

Job Description Summary GE Vernova's Power Conversion & Storage business provides electrification systems that are critical to customers' power and energy needs for their high-performance applications. We work with some of the world's major energy, maritime, and industrial organizations, helping to enable a transition to energy efficiency and decarbonization, including through our specialist motors, drives, and control technologies. Job Description At GE Vernova's Power Conversion & Storage business, we design and deliver electrification systems for some of the world's most demanding applications - from grid-connected industrial infrastructure to islanded propulsion systems on large-scale maritime and defence programmes. The engineering problems are complex, the standards are uncompromising, and the impact of getting it right is real. As a Power Systems Engineer, you'll sit at the technical core of that work. You'll use advanced simulation tools to model, analyse, and validate power system architectures, generate the documentation that underpins design decisions, and contribute across the full project lifecycle - from early tendering through commissioning and in-service support. This is a role for an engineer who brings both analytical rigour and intellectual curiosity to the problems in front of them, and who wants to grow within a team of recognised power systems specialists. What You'll Do Generate and validate system architectures - produce Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) for AC and DC power system architectures; ensure designs comply with applicable health and safety requirements, international standards (IEC, MIL, DEF STAN), and marine classification society rules where applicable. Perform power systems studies and analysis - conduct and support power systems studies using simulation tools including MATLAB, DigSilent PowerFactory, eTAP, PSCAD, and PSS/E; studies include short circuit, load flow, harmonic, transient, insulation co-ordination, arc flash, and protection co-ordination analysis. Author equipment specifications and technical documentation - generate main and balance-of-plant equipment specifications, functional documents, and test documentation for Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) switchboards, generators, cables, converters, transformers, motors, and auxiliary systems. Capture and validate requirements - define and capture system requirements; support validation and verification activities to confirm designs meet technical and contractual obligations throughout the engineering lifecycle. Deliver technical support across the project lifecycle - provide technical support during commissioning phases and through-life in-service and obsolescence support; travel within the UK and overseas for short-term project assignments as required. Who We're Looking For You're an analytically rigorous power systems engineer with hands-on simulation experience and the breadth to work effectively across complex, multi-disciplinary project environments - including industrial, maritime, and defence sectors. Required Sole British citizenship and eligibility for UK BPSS or SC clearance (non-negotiable - see notice above). A degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline. A formal qualification provides a strong foundation; however, we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements, and demonstrated equivalent expertise will be considered. Proven experience in Power Systems engineering, with applicable knowledge at equipment or systems level. Proficiency with one or more Power Systems simulation tools: MATLAB, DigSilent PowerFactory, eTAP, PSCAD, or PSS/E. Working knowledge of marine classification society rules, or IEC, MIL, or DEF STAN standards. The ability to produce clear, accurate, and concise engineering documentation. Willingness to travel within the UK and internationally for short-term project assignments. Preferred Experience in industrial, maritime, or offshore domain environments. Demonstrated expertise in one or more of: Power Systems modelling, generator excitation systems, or Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD). Working towards or holding Chartered Engineer (CEng) status with a relevant professional engineering institution. Familiarity with engineering lifecycle processes and formal requirements management methods. What We Offer GE Vernova employees rise to the challenge of building a world that works. In order to meet this mission, we provide varied, competitive benefits to help support our workforce: 34 days' annual leave including national holidays Flexible working arrangements Company pension contribution Private health insurance, income protection, and life assurance Healthy lifestyle account Flexible benefits you can personalise to your needs Structured career development and training opportunities GE Vernova invests in providing opportunities to grow your career through continued on-the-job learning and development. Relocation assistance is not available for this role. Additional Information Relocation Assistance Provided: No GE Vernova is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
