Grid Technologies
A
Snapshot of Your Day
The Principal
Power Systems Consultant will use their technical & commercial background
and expertise to orchestrate technical studies related to new power generation,
storage or load resources wanting to interconnect to the transmission network
and guide clients in selecting the efficient solutions. Later, they will review
and sign off recommendations that address specific challenges of isolated,
inverter-based power systems being implemented to decarbonize an existing industrial
site. In between meetings, they will present virtually to new clients our
offering portfolio. Finally, the Principal Consultant will review the progress
of the several consulting engagements under their oversight and check status
vs. planned workplan.
The position
can be located anywhere in Australia, with a preference for Sydney or
Melbourne.
