At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for positive.

The Electrical Reliability Studies

Engineer is responsible for performing power-system and Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) studies for power generation, transmission, distribution, renewable energy, data centers and mission-critical facilities. As a reliability studies engineer, you will develop and validate technical models, perform system-impact and RAM studies, identify operational and design risks, and recommend practical improvements to system availability, redundancy, resilience, and maintainability. The successful candidate shall demonstrate experience and technical knowledge in reliability analysis, equipment failure rates, availability calculations, and related methodologies gained through work with consulting engineering firms, developers, and/or utilities.

Develop RAM models using reliability block diagrams, fault trees, equipment failure rates, repair times, maintenance assumptions, operational dependencies, and resource constraints.



Prepare technical reports and present study methodologies, findings, and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders. Maintain knowledge of applicable NERC and FERC requirements and relevant ISO/RTO reliability planning processes. #Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, from a recognized institution.

Minimum of 4 years of direct experience in power system modelling and studies, including reliability analysis.

Experience with power-system analysis tools such as ETAP or equivalent software. Familiarity with RAM software such as ReliaSoft BlockSim, Isograph Availability Workbench, or equivalent tools. Strong analytical, technical‑writing, communication, and presentation skills. Ability and willingness to travel within North America.

Experience conducting Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and knowledge of root‑cause analysis, and risk‑based maintenance strategies. Knowledge of programming languages to streamline studies using Python or similar languages. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.
