Responsibilities
High Voltage Electrical System Design and Implementation (Core Responsibility, 70%)
Power Distribution System Planning and Design: Lead end-to-end design of power distribution systems (10 kV and below high-voltage/low-voltage systems); primary system design: layout of transformer and distribution rooms, main circuit diagrams (single busbar sectionalized, ring network configurations), short-circuit current calculations, equipment selection (transformers, HV/LV switchgear, circuit breakers, bus duct, etc.).
Secondary system design: Relay protection configuration (overcurrent, differential, directional protection), power monitoring system (SCADA) architecture design, and power quality management (harmonic suppression, reactive power compensation strategies).
Design scenarios include industrial plants, commercial complexes, data centers, and new energy power plants (solar/energy storage).
Project Implementation and Commissioning
Review construction drawings and prepare technical specifications for electrical equipment installation (cable routing, grounding resistance requirements).
Lead commissioning of power distribution systems, resolving operational issues (e.g., transformer inrush current suppression, relay protection malfunctions).
Energy Efficiency Optimization and New Technology Application
Propose energy-saving solutions for power distribution systems (e.g., transformer load optimization, dynamic reactive power compensation).
Research renewable energy integration technologies (e.g., seamless transition strategies between energy storage systems and diesel generator sets).
Low Voltage Electrical System Collaboration (Supplementary Responsibility, 30%)
Assist the Low Voltage Team in Power Supply Design for Smart Systems (e.g., fire alarm, building automation, security monitoring), ensuring:
Reliability of power supply for low-voltage equipment (e.g., UPS configuration, dual-power switching logic).
Compatibility between high-voltage and low-voltage systems (e.g., isolation between POE switch power supply and HV distribution).
Resolution of EMI and grounding conflicts (e.g., isolated grounding vs combined grounding).
International Standards Compliance and Certification Management
Ensure designs comply with key international standards:
IEC Standards: IEC 61439, IEC 60947, IEC 60364
CE Directives: LVD, EMC
UL Standards: UL 508A, UL 891, UL 50
Lead or support product certifications (e.g., CE/UL certifications), coordinating with third-party testing agencies (TUV, SGS) to complete testing.
Localization Standards Integration
Harmonize international standards with local regulations (e.g., GB 50052 Power Distribution System Design Code and GB 50054 Low Voltage Power Distribution Code) to ensure project compliance.
Full Lifecycle Technology Management
Early-stage Support: Participate in project feasibility studies, and provide technical and economic analyses for electric system proposals (e.g., equipment localization alternatives).
Construction Phase: Conduct on-site technical briefings, and resolve construction issues (e.g., cable tray routing overlaps with HVAC piping).
Operation and Maintenance Phase: Prepare equipment operation and maintenance manuals, and develop contingency plans (e.g., flood prevention measures in distribution rooms, black-start procedures for diesel generators).
Qualifications
Essential Requirements
Educational Background: Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems and Automation, High Voltage and Insulation Technology, or related fields.
Holder of a Registered Electrical Engineer license (Power Transmission/Distribution) and/or PMP certification preferred.
Work Experience
5+ years of high voltage electrical system design experience, with independent work on at least 3 mid-sized projects (e.g., 10kV substations, commercial complexes over 50,000 sqm).
Familiarity with high and low voltage products from brands like Schneider, ABB, and Siemens.
Core Technical Skills
High Voltage Design: Proficient in AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP/SKM, and Revit MEP; expertise in short-circuit current calculations, relay protection settings, and grounding system design (TN-S/TN-C-S).
Low Voltage Collaboration: Knowledge of electrical requirements for low-voltage systems (e.g., independent circuits for security systems, data center panelboard configurations); familiarity with Modbus and BACnet for HV-LV integration.
Standards Interpretation: Ability to develop technical documentation compliant with IEC/CE/UL standards; familiarity with GB/T 14549 for power quality and harmonics.
Soft Skills
Proficient in cross-disciplinary coordination and capable of resolving technical conflicts; English proficiency and willingness to travel.
Preferred Requirements
International project experience (Europe, the US, Southeast Asia) with familiarity in NEC and BS 7671.
Design experience for renewable energy systems (photovoltaic inverters and diesel generator grid interconnection control).
Proficiency in digital power system management tools (digital twins, smart distribution management platforms).
