Senior Power Systems Engineer (Infrastructure)

About the role

Egis, a global engineering, consulting and construction firm, is hiring a Senior Power Systems Engineer in Bengaluru. The engineer leads the design, modelling, simulation and execution of extra-high, high, medium and low voltage (EHV/HV/MV/LV) power systems, ensuring their safety, reliability, efficiency and code compliance. The role suits someone with deep expertise in power system dynamics who can run complex analytical studies and work cross-functionally on large energy and industrial projects.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct and manage power system studies: load flow, short-circuit calculations, protective device coordination, arc-flash hazard evaluation, harmonic analysis, transient stability, motor starting, cable thermal analysis, earthing design, insulation coordination and grid compliance studies.
• Lead the design and integration of power distribution systems, substations, switchgear, generators, transformers and renewable assets such as solar, wind, BESS and hybrid systems.
• Oversee electrical projects from conceptual design through commissioning, managing timelines, resources, budgets and deliverables.
• Ensure designs meet national and international standards (IEC, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, ANSI, CSA) and apply standards such as IEC 60909, IEEE 1584, IEEE 519 and IEC 61850.
• Act as technical consultant and liaison for clients, evaluate specifications, prepare engineering proposals and coordinate with vendors.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, review their simulation models and reports.
• Promote safety in design, arc-flash mitigation, HV switching, LOTO and commissioning.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, power systems engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 8-10+ years of engineering experience in power system design, analysis and operation; utility, renewable, industrial or EPC experience preferred.
• Professional Engineer (PE) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) licence, or equivalent regional registration, strongly preferred; ability to obtain licensure may be required.
• Strong analytical problem-solving, clear communication with non-technical stakeholders, and knowledge of grid-forming/grid-following converters, weak grids and grid code compliance.

Required skills

• Power simulation software: ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSS Sincal or CYME.
• Familiarity with PSCAD, EMTP, MATLAB/Simulink, SKM, EasyPower or PowerWorld is a plus.
