Job Description Summary
Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user’s needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimisation of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. The process proceeds from concept to production to operation, impacting departmental operations and responsible for planning and execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.
What You’ll Do
You’ll contribute across the full HVDC project lifecycle — from early‑stage design and technical studies through to factory testing support and external industry engagement. Specifically, you will:
- Lead electrical system design — develop main scheme design documentation including single line diagrams (SLDs) for HVDC converter systems; design and support electrical system solutions across all project phases; and prepare technical specifications for high‑voltage equipment including transformers, switchgear, measurement devices, power reactors, and surge arresters.
- Deliver engineering studies and technical reports — perform studies and produce reports across power system design, insulation coordination, station losses calculation, and high‑voltage equipment application; support and witness factory testing and factory acceptance testing (FAT) of high‑voltage equipment.
- Drive engineering development and improvement — contribute to the development and improvement of engineering tools, design guides, and standard processes; support the development of new HVDC technologies, study methods, and system analysis tools; and identify opportunities to improve quality, efficiency, and standardisation.
- Engage customers and external stakeholders — interface with customers on technical topics and support project discussions; represent GE Vernova in external technical activities including industry working groups, conferences, and technical publications.
- Collaborate across teams and uphold standards — provide technical guidance within your areas of expertise; work effectively across multidisciplinary project teams; and adhere to company policies, code of conduct, and environmental, health, and safety (EHS) requirements.
Who We’re Looking For
Electrical or power systems engineer with proven experience in industrial or high‑voltage environments, a solid grounding in HVDC or power systems design, and the communication skills to engage confidently with customers and technical peers alike.
Required
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Strong, proven experience in industrial engineering, with a focus on power systems or high‑voltage applications.
- Knowledge of HVDC systems, power system studies, and high‑voltage equipment.
- Experience with single line diagrams, technical specifications, and engineering reports.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Python.
- Strong technical problem‑solving, communication, and reporting skills.
- Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and collaborate effectively across teams.
- Legal authorisation to work in the United Kingdom.
Preferred
- Master’s degree in Power Systems Engineering.
- Experience in insulation coordination studies and station loss calculations.
- Familiarity with international industry standards and technical bodies such as IEC, IEEE, or CIGRE.
- Experience contributing to engineering tools, process improvement, or design standardisation initiatives.
Additional Information
Relocation assistance is provided.
Legal authorisation to work in the United Kingdom (visa sponsorship availability will be assessed based on business and legal requirements).
