Ensure robust cyber\-physical security practices are embedded throughout the secondary system design lifecycle. * ### **Standards,****Compliance****\&****Grid****Code****Adherence** * Ensure strict adherence to international standards and grid codes (IEC, IEEE/ANSI) by performing technical audits and vetting technical submissions to Transmission / Distribution System Operators (TSO/DSO). Manage technical interfaces and coordinate between EPC contractors, engineering consultants, OEMs, and the grid operator to ensure a coherent and optimized secondary systems design. * ### **Requirements** ### **Education** Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a closely related field. Professional Engineering registration (PE / CEng or equivalent) is an advantage. ### **Experience** 8\+ years of engineering experience with a demonstrable focus on substation secondary systems design and delivery. Significant experience in a developer, owner’s engineer, or utility role with direct responsibility for managing and challenging EPC contractor deliverables. Proven track record on grid\-connected utility\-scale renewable energy projects (Solar PV, Wind) and/or Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Experience working across the full project lifecycle from FEED and detailed design through to FAT, SAT, and commercial operation.
