Define the settings that isolate a fault in a few cycles, without unnecessary outages. You work on networks of varying quality — from industrial substations to transmission grids — and you back every setting with a verifiable study.
You assess short-circuit currents (IEC 60909/61363), build selective coordination schemes and propose relay settings that hold up against real-world scenarios: contingencies, transformers, distributed generation and islanded networks. You also support field teams through commissioning, from logic checks to trip tests.
Key responsibilities
- Run low/medium/high-voltage short-circuit studies per IEC 60909 and IEC 61363 (islanded networks).
- Build selectivity coordination schemes and numeric relay settings (distance, differential, overcurrent).
- Model networks in DIgSILENT PowerFactory and ETAP; validate models against field measurements.
- Produce logic diagrams, coordination curves and defensible engineering reports.
- Verify wiring logic and trip tests before energization.
- Contribute to arc-flash studies (NFPA 70E / CSA Z462) and grounding studies.
Required profile
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering; junior OIQ member or on track to obtain it.
- 3 to 6 years of experience in power system protection, or an equivalent profile.
- Proficiency with DIgSILENT, ETAP or equivalent; knowledge of digital relay technology.
- Familiarity with electrical safety standards (CSA Z462, lockout/tagout).
