Lead Control Engineer - design authority Power Plant/MicroGrid Controller
We are looking for a Lead Control Engineer to contribute to the design, development and validation of advanced control solutions for power generation plants, microgrids and energy storage systems.
- The successful candidate will be responsible for developing control architectures and algorithms for active and reactive power regulation, voltage and frequency control, ramp-rate management and curtailment, coordinating inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS), conventional generation and loads.
- The role will also involve the development of advanced grid-support functionalities, including grid-forming capabilities, virtual synchronous machine control, synthetic inertia, islanding, resynchronization and black-start functions.
- The candidate will work on industrial control platforms and communication protocols, contributing to system modelling, hardware-in-the-loop validation and regression testing. They will also provide technical support during grid-code certification and commissioning activities, analyse field events and define corrective actions.
- The role includes responsibility for technical design documentation, configuration change control and mentoring other engineers within the team.
