Power Systems Consultant 

At Siemens, we create technology that transforms the everyday for everyone. From smart factories to sustainable cities, through digital transformation, automation and electrification, we empower our customers to accelerate their digital and sustainability journeys - helping them become more competitive, resilient and sustainable. With cutting-edge solutions, we’re solving the greatest challenges of our time - driving the energy transition and shaping a smarter, more sustainable future for all.

Siemens PTI Consulting, part of the Siemens Smart Infrastructure business unit, is a globally trusted advisor in the energy sector. We take a comprehensive approach to solving sophisticated challenges - delivering strategic business advisory and technical consulting, powered by industry-leading grid simulation software. Our customers rely on us to support the planning, operation and optimisation of generation connections, transmission and distribution networks, and industrial power systems. Together, we help shape resilient, efficient, and future-ready energy systems.
As part of our continued growth, we are looking for experienced Senior, Principal and Executive-level consultants to join our dynamic Power System Consulting team. If you're passionate about driving innovation in energy systems and want to make a real impact on building a more sustainable tomorrow, we want to hear from you.

Location: We are led by our forward-thinking hybrid working policy, which requires 2-3 days a week in the office (Manchester) or visiting customer sites across the UK, Ireland and Europe.

What will you deliver:
• Develop and maintain customer relationships and position PTI Consulting to secure future business.
• Prepare clear, comprehensive and compelling consulting proposals and tenders with robust project plans to ensure successful delivery, supported by accurate resource and effort estimates.
• Provide technical and project leadership to support successful delivery of consulting engagements, offering credible insights and practical solutions to sophisticated software and data challenges
• Lead and deliver consulting engagements related to power system modelling and analysis, including system dynamics and transients, system interconnection and grid code compliance.
• Work with customers to assess their business requirements and application objectives, and propose tailored solutions that address their specific challenges, especially the use of standard power systems analysis software and bespoke customisations.
• Expertly use power systems software (e.g. PSS®E, PSCAD, DIgSILENT PowerFactory) to deliver high-quality modelling and analysis aligned with customer objectives.
• Develop innovative and robust software solutions primarily using Python, with possible use of FORTRAN, including custom user-written dynamic models, automation scripts for power systems studies and post-processing of results, and complex decision support tools for operational planning.
• Develop mathematical models to assess performance, stability and resilience of electrical networks and power system equipment.
• Automate and script processes using power system analysis tools (including PSS®E and PSS®SINCAL) to streamline repetitive tasks, reduce errors and enhance analysis efficiency.
• Deliver on-site technical consulting and training services, and provide Grid Simulation software technical support to customers.
• Ensure the technical quality of power systems project delivery by reviewing consultancy outputs for accuracy, clarity, and alignment with best practices and client expectations.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of team processes and standards, while actively sharing knowledge and learning from colleagues.
• Manage and support project execution by supervising progress and agreeing timely adjustments to maintain scope, schedule, budget and quality.
