Responsibilities

• Perform HV cable sizing and steady-state/emergency cyclic rating studies for buried, ducted, tunnel, trough and above-ground cable installations.
• Develop cable-system design bases, route engineering inputs, installation arrangements, pulling/tension checks, joint-bay requirements and termination requirements.
• Design sheath bonding, cross-bonding, earthing and link-box arrangements and assess induced voltages, electromagnetic effects and losses.
• Specify HV power cables, joints, terminations, link boxes, fibre/monitoring provisions and associated accessories.
• Undertake or support load-flow, short-circuit, voltage, reactive-power, harmonic, insulation-coordination and earthing studies.
• Define engineering study assumptions, models, operating scenarios and acceptance criteria and clearly document results, limitations and recommendations.
• Coordinate cable interfaces with substations, overhead lines, civil works, protection, telecoms and construction teams.
• Review manufacturer calculations, drawings and technical data while supporting bid evaluation, installation, testing, commissioning and fault investigation.

Required Skills

• HV/EHV Cable Engineering: Strong hands-on knowledge of HV cable systems, preferably XLPE systems at 132 kV and above.
• Cable Rating: Practical application of IEC 60287 and IEC 60853 for steady-state, emergency and cyclic cable-rating calculations.
• Bonding & Earthing: Strong understanding of sheath bonding, cross-bonding, earthing, induced sheath voltages and electromagnetic effects.
• Cable Rating Software: Hands-on capability with CYMCAP or an equivalent recognized cable-rating package.
• Power-System Analysis: Practical experience with ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSS/E or equivalent for load flow, fault-level, voltage/reactive-power and related studies.

Preferred Skills
