substation consulting studies and compliance testing services for electric utilities and other clients in power industry. We are
the vendor of the cutting-edge power system analysis software package, DSATools™, recognized globally as leading-edge
software platforms for dynamic security assessment of complex power systems for both off-line (system planning) and on-
line applications (near-real-time operation).

Powertech provides a full spectrum of study services from fast electromagnetic transient switching studies, power system
planning and operation studies (including transient, small-signal, voltage, and frequency stabilities), post-mortem
investigation of system disturbances and events, generation and load interconnection studies, generator including wind and
solar renewables, and load model development or validation via field testing, and to NERC compliance studies (e.g., TPL,
FAC, PRC, MOD, CIP, etc.).

In this role, the successful candidate will take on the following key responsibilities:
  • Perform power flow, short-circuit, contingency, transfer, and stability studies, including transient, small-signal, voltage, and
frequency stability assessments.

  • Conduct bulk power system studies using industry-standard software tools.

  • Carry out advanced and specialized studies using tools such as PSS®E, DSATools, and PSCAD.

  • Support and contribute to model development, including generation, load, transmission, and transformer modeling.

  • Develop and recommend system upgrade strategies and mitigation plans to address system constraints and reliability
issues.

  • Establish, review, and enhance transmission planning and study methodologies and processes.

  • Prepare technical study reports, including model validation reports required for regulatory compliance.

  • Present study results and reports to clients.

  • Assist with proposal development in response to requests for proposals (RFPs) and help define scopes of work to meet
client needs.

  • Participate in the development and testing of new software releases.

encouraged to apply.

  • Strong understanding of power system studies, including stability, fault analysis, and EMT simulations.
  • Registered as a Professional Engineer with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC).

The following skills, abilities, and competencies are associated with success in this role:
  • Solid knowledge of power system modeling and analytical methods, including steady-state studies (power flow,
contingency, and voltage stability), short-circuit analysis, and transient and small-signal stability studies in both time and
frequency domains.
  • Strong understanding of generator and renewable resource modeling, power system and/or substation protection, and the
control systems of synchronous generators, renewable resources, and FACTS devices.
  • General knowledge of power system operations, protection, grid voltage and frequency control, and applicable reliability
standards.
  • Proficiency in power system simulation software such as DSATools, PSS®E, PSCAD, or DIgSILENT is considered an
asset.
  • Experience programming in one or more languages, such as Python, MATLAB, or C/C++.
