The role
What a power systems engineer actually does, day to day.
As a power systems engineer, you work on the systems that deliver electricity where it needs to go. You'll use computers to test how the system works, spot problems, and design ways to make it better. You might check that everything is safe and follows the rules, or work on new ideas to improve how power is delivered.
You'll work with other engineers, project managers and customers to plan and build systems that work. Some days you're at a desk using software; other days you're out checking equipment. It's technical work that needs good problem-solving skills, and you get to know that your work keeps the electricity flowing to millions of people.
