Engineering SME – Power & Grid Integration Lead / Electrical Systems Lead


TX (or Project-based) | 10-15+ years


Overview

OGCS supports clients on complex energy and infrastructure projects where early technical clarity is critical to cost, schedule, and delivery confidence. As projects increasingly integrate grid-connected power, high-voltage systems, and hybrid supply models, we are seeking an experienced Engineering Subject Matter Expert (SME) to lead power and grid integration activities across the project lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Power & Electrical System Leadership

  • Act as technical lead for high-voltage systems, grid connection strategy, and overall electrical system architecture.

  • Define electrical load lists, load profiles, and demand assumptions in collaboration with process and utilities teams.

  • Establish and manage the split between Behind-the-Meter (BTM) and Front-of-the-Meter (FTM) power supply solutions, aligned with project and regulatory requirements.

Design Development & Technical Assurance

  • Review and guide electrical one-line diagrams, substation layouts, redundancy philosophies, and system configuration.

  • Oversee and provide technical input to main electrical studies, including load flow, fault level, and system stability analyses.

  • Ensure electrical design intent is consistently reflected across engineering deliverables.

Grid & External Interfaces

  • Lead technical engagement with grid operators and relevant authorities.

  • Interpret grid connection requirements and ensure they are fully incorporated into FEED scope, schedule, and cost estimates.

  • Support alignment between client, grid operator, and engineering disciplines.

Procurement & Execution Support

  • Provide technical input to procurement strategies for high-voltage packages and major electrical equipment.

  • Participate in vendor technical evaluations and selection processes.

  • Support downstream phases as required to maintain design integrity and compliance.

What We’re Looking For

  • Degree-qualified in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline

  • Significant experience leading high-voltage and grid integration scopes on large energy, industrial, or infrastructure projects

  • Strong understanding of electrical system architecture, substations, and grid connection processes

  • Proven ability to work across disciplines and interface effectively with external stakeholders and authorities

  • Experience supporting FEED studies, including scope definition, cost inputs, and schedule development

  • Clear, confident communicator with the credibility to act as a technical authority

What We Offer

  • Work environment where safety is always the top priority.

  • Competitive base salary depending on your skills and experience.
