Relay and Study Engineer position focusing on protective relaying and studies for power systems. Requires expertise in relay settings, coordination, and relevant software tools.
Responsibilities
Perform relay coordination studies, short-circuit analysis, and protection setting calculations for transmission and distribution systems (13.8 kV – 500 kV).
Develop, review, and validate relay settings files using SEL QuickSet, GE EnerVista UR, or equivalent OEM tools.
Conduct fault, load flow, harmonic, and arc-flash studies using Aspen, ETAP, SKM, or equivalent software.
Prepare relay setting documentation, coordination curves, and study reports in accordance with client and utility requirements.
Evaluate system protection schemes for generators, transformers, lines, buses, feeders, and capacitor banks.
Support system upgrades, interconnections, and NERC compliance studies through data collection and analysis.
Collaborate with utilities, EPC partners, and internal teams to ensure proper coordination and implementation of protection schemes.
Provide technical review and peer checking of protection settings and study deliverables.
Stay current with IEEE, ANSI, NERC, and utility protection standards and practices.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Power Engineering required.
5–10 years of dedicated relay setting and study experience (not combined with SCADA or general design work).
Proven proficiency with SEL QuickSet and GE EnerVista UR for relay configuration and testing.
Experience with Aspen OneLiner, ETAP, and SKM Power Tools for system analysis.
Strong understanding of protection coordination principles, fault analysis, relay logic, and system modeling.
Familiarity with arc-flash analysis, harmonic studies, and grounding studies.
Working knowledge of NERC, IEEE, ANSI, NEC, and NESC standards.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred but not required.
