GE Vernova
Overview
Senior Protection & Control (P&C) and System Engineer role at GE Vernova. The engineer works on T&D substations for AC, HVDC and FACTS projects with designers, peer engineers and leaders. They review P&C designs for compliance with project specifications and applicable standards, mentor the secondary design team, and may represent GE with external standards committees (e.g., IEEE). The Senior P&C Engineer is an established leader in the engineering team, driving technical and economic understanding to provide customers with the best solutions that positively impact the business. The role is primarily focused on review of designs prepared by other team members and may serve as project engineering manager for small to medium-size projects focused on secondary engineering. Responsibilities
Ensure high quality design of protection schemes for T&D substations, data centers, industrial sites, and BESS applications, including one-lines, three-lines, AC/DC schematics, and relay settings. Review, optimize, and seal (P.E. stamp) protection and control designs prepared by themselves or other team members. Lead and coordinate all P&C technical aspects of AC power substation projects, ensuring safe operation of power system equipment. Review, optimize, and seal SLDs and detailed designs for auxiliary systems (Diesel Generator, Low Voltage Switchgear, AC/DC distribution panels, batteries and battery chargers). Review power system studies (load flow, fault studies, relay setting coordination, transient studies) performed by other agencies. Develop or review outage, cut-over, and testing procedures. Be familiar with IEC 61850 process and system bus architecture and its substation implementation. Interface with internal and external team members and customers (Protection and Control Engineers, Lead Engineers, Project Engineers, Electrical Designers, Civil Engineers, Physical Designers, Draftsmen, Project Managers, Sourcing, and support organizations). Lead or support factory acceptance testing and site testing & commissioning. Develop proposals including technical specifications, estimating design man-hours and materials, vendor quotations, and technical responses with clarifications and exceptions. Apply extensive experience in technical problem solving and Lean techniques; master secondary engineering discipline (process, tools, and technical aspects). Develop high-quality design templates and tooling to support the secondary design engineering team and the business. Define processes, perform RCA, implement corrective actions, and support quality initiatives including ISO 9002 aspects. Demonstrate leadership behaviors: humility, transparency, and focus in delivery. Requirements
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university or college PE License in the US Minimum 10 years of experience in system protection schemes, relay selection, primary equipment interfaces, operational analysis, communication systems, and maintenance practices for transmission, distribution, and generation protection at AIS and GIS substations Minimum 10 years of experience in design reviews and technical mentoring Ability and willingness to travel up to 10% of the time, including international travel for meetings and on-site commissioning tests, in compliance with company travel and tax policies Desired Characteristics
Extensive experience in protective relaying coordination; strong understanding of circuit breakers, fuses, circuit switchers, transformers, shunt reactors, capacitor banks, harmonic filters, HVDC and FACTS systems used in power flow control and fault detection/isolation Member of an standards committee such as IEEE or willingness to join Ownership, accountability, judgment, decision-making, and knowledge sharing Strong oral and written communication skills Strong interpersonal and leadership skills; organized, goal-oriented, and able to work under pressure The salary range for this position is 122,300.00 - 163,100.00 USD Annual.
