POWER Engineers
POWER Engineers, Member of WSP
– Electromagnetic Transient Studies Engineer (Mid‑Level) Location: Denver, CO Employment Type: Full‑time Seniority Level: Mid‑Senior level Job Function: Consulting and Engineering
Opportunity You will collaborate with our SCADA and Analytical Services Team on utility, industrial, and commercial scale projects. Your work will span the design, permitting, construction, and operation of power distribution and renewable energy systems, as well as protection and control systems across utilities, transportation, and government agencies.
Your Impact
Interface with engineers to develop computer‑based models and perform power system studies focused on transient analysis for utility and industrial/commercial electrical power systems.
Conduct studies such as:
Transient (time‑domain) simulation
Insulation coordination for AC and DC (lightning, switching surge, bipole failure, contamination performance)
Lightning/surge/voltage arrester sizing and placement
Circuit breaker rating studies
TRV analysis
Transformer energization
Delayed zero crossing
Single‑pole reclosing design (secondary arc current, neutral reactor sizing)
Steady state unbalance and transposition studies
Equipment minimum approach distance studies
Optical shield wire sizing (thermal rating and Coulomb rating)
Support transmission planning and advanced studies including feasibility, system impact, reactive compensation, critical clearing time, stability (transient & dynamic), packaging, short circuit, load flow, motor starting, power factor correction, and more.
Opportunities for finite‑element electric/magnetic field analysis, AC interference, corona prediction, NESC clearance studies, conductor selection, and other EMF studies may be available.
Collaborate with substation and transmission design engineers to optimize designs from concept to post‑energization.
Adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and uphold responsible decision‑making regarding company resources.
Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
Who You Are Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
5–7 years of post‑education experience as an electrical engineer providing design deliverables for large capital projects.
Engineer in Training certification.
Experience working with operations and project controls for reporting and proposal development.
Proficient knowledge of electrical engineering principles, design/build processes, and permitting/application of those principles.
Excellent written and verbal English, including proposal, report, and technical writing.
Experience with infrastructure planning, design, and construction management, including rehabilitation and new design projects.
Experience with EMT‑based software tools (e.g., PSCAD, EMTP‑RV).
Willingness to travel occasionally.
Ability to work successfully in a customer‑focused, project‑oriented environment.
Experience with EMT‑based engineering studies related to overhead transmission lines, underground cables, and substation modifications.
Proven track record of upholding workplace safety and compliance with WSP’s health, safety, and drug/alcohol and harassment policies.
Occasional travel may be required depending on project‑specific requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
MSc or Ph.D.
Experience with modeling inverter‑based resources or HVDC/FACTS devices.
Professional registration is not required; preference given to registered professional engineers (P.E., P. Eng.).
Phasor (RMS) software experience (e.g., PSS®E, PSLF, Power World).
Disclaimer Relocation assistance is not available for this position.
WSP Benefits WSP provides a comprehensive suite of benefits focused on health and financial stability throughout an employee’s career, including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life coverage; retirement savings; paid sick leave; paid vacation; paid parental leave; and paid time off for bereavement, voting, and naturalization proceedings.
