WSP in the U.S.
Overview
Join WSP in the U.S. as a Lead Systems Engineer to help drive the company’s vision of becoming a preeminent pure‑play global consulting firm for the energy transition. Location
Houston, TX (other locations considered: Austin, TX; Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Seattle, WA; Charlotte, NC; Raleigh, NC; Milwaukee, WI) Responsibilities
Develop and validate simulation models for renewable energy systems including solar PV, wind, battery storage, hybrid microgrids, and data centers. Conduct power systems modeling for data centers, covering UPS systems, generator integration, redundancy (e.g., N, N+1, 2N), and failure mode analysis. Perform data center reliability modeling using probabilistic techniques. Create Python‑based tools for simulation, optimization, scenario analysis, and techno‑economic evaluation of renewable and mission‑critical power systems. Evaluate energy infrastructure integration for grid‑connected and islanded modes in both utility and data center applications. Collaborate with cross‑disciplinary teams including engineering and project management. Communicate technical results through clear documentation, reports, and stakeholder presentations. Support proposals, white papers, and strategic energy planning efforts. Exercise responsible and ethical decision‑making regarding company funds, resources, and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies. Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs. Required Qualifications
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering with specialization in power systems, energy systems, or data center infrastructure. 10+ years of relevant experience. Proficiency in Python for simulation, numerical modeling, and data processing. Experience with renewable energy integration, load flow analysis, power quality, and grid‑tied inverter systems. Experience with dispatch modeling and revenue optimization of BESS systems in various ISO’s (ERCOT, CAISO, PJM, etc.). Familiarity with industry‑standard simulation tools: MATLAB/Simulink, ETAP, HOMER, or PSSE. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and ability to abide by WSP’s health, safety, and drug/alcohol and harassment policies. Ability to work schedules conducive to project‑specific requirements that may extend beyond the typical workweek. Occasional travel may be required depending on project‑specific requirements. Preferred Qualifications
Experience with mission‑critical facility design, power redundancy modeling, or battery energy storage applications for data centers. Knowledge of optimization techniques, economic dispatch, or grid service monetization. Experience with real‑time simulation or hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) testing. Record of technical publications or presentations in energy systems or reliability modeling. Experience with Monte Carlo simulation and Markov chains. PhD in Electrical Engineering. Strong foundation in data center electrical architectures, UPS systems, reliability modeling, and energy backup strategies. Benefits
Comprehensive benefits include medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation; paid parental leave; and paid time off for purposes of bereavement, voting, and/or attendance at naturalization proceedings. Compensation
Expected Salary (all locations): $115,100 – $205,040. Expected Salary (Colorado only): $111,200 – $186,100. About WSP
