Power Systems Lead, Energy

Technical leadership & delivery:

• Lead complex power system design and compliance studies including load flow, voltage control, dynamic and transient stability, short-circuit, protection coordination, harmonic/power quality and EMT studies
• Design and advise on concepts for transmission and distribution systems (HV/MV), including offshore wind grid connections, onshore substations and interconnections, and industrial/private networks
• Own technical assurance: define methods, peer reviews, quality gates, and knowledge management for all studies; be ultimate signatory for key deliverables
• Ensure compliance with UK Grid Code/NGESO (NESO), EirGrid/SONI, and ENA G99/G100, and relevant IEC/IEEE standards; steward model governance and data quality

Strategy, markets & business development:

• Shape and execute the UK&I Power Systems strategy, with clear propositions for TSO/DSO connections, grid reinforcement, stability services, renewables and storage integration, and offshore transmission
• Lead key pursuits and frameworks with TSOs/DSOs and major developers; craft winning narratives and pricing strategies, and build zippered client relationships
• Represent Ramboll at industry forums, author thought leadership, and cultivate partnerships (e.g., OEMs/contractors/technology partners) that complement our offer

People leadership & growth:

• Lead, inspire and grow a diverse team (recruitment, onboarding, capability building, succession planning)
• Mentor technical specialists and establish development pathways (including route to CEng/CMgr) and cross-GBAs collaboration
• Foster an inclusive, learning culture aligned to Ramboll leadership principles

Delivery excellence, governance & ways of working:

• Establish standard processes for delivering and documenting studies (templates, model libraries, QA plans, EMC and EMT study approaches, and client-ready reporting)
• Own multi-project delivery governance (scope, risk, schedule, margin, and resource planning) and escalate proactively
• Interface management across multidisciplinary projects (civil/structural, protection & control, SCADA/telecoms, H&S/CDM)

This role works at the heart of the energy transition, helping to close the gap to a sustainable future by leading power systems solutions for renewable energy integration, grid modernization, and sustainable energy infrastructure development.

• Degree in Electrical/Power Systems Engineering (or equivalent); Chartered Engineer (CEng) or near-chartership (e.g., IET)
• Deep technical track record delivering (and reviewing) steady-state, dynamic and EMT studies for grid connections, reinforcements, and compliance (incl. reactive power/voltage control, fault-ride-through, stability constraints, harmonics)
• Demonstrable experience with TSO/DSO processes (e.g., NGESO/NESO, EirGrid, SONI) and ENA codes; strong understanding of UK & Ireland regulatory context and grid access
• Proficiency in one or more core tools (DIgSILENT, PSCAD, PSS®E, ETAP) and an appreciation of model validation, PSCAD EMT methodologies, and protection coordination studies
• Proven people leadership (mentoring, recruitment, performance), client leadership (frameworks, major bids), and commercial acumen (scope, risk, margin)
• Familiarity with owner's engineering/LTA roles for BESS and hybrid renewable projects
• Clear, concise communicator able to translate analysis into decisions for clients and stakeholders
• Experience in offshore wind transmission and onshore substation concept/design; exposure to HVDC and converter-rich system behaviour (desirable)
• Working knowledge of EMT/phasor co-simulation practices and digitialisation/automation of study workflows (desirable)

• Commitment to your development
• Leaders guided by our Leadership Principles
• A culture that welcomes you as the unique person you are
• Inspiration from colleagues, clients, and projects
• The long-term thinking of a foundation-owned company
• Flexibility as part of our positive and inclusive approach to work
• Inclusive and supportive work environment where everyone is able to flourish and reach their potential
