WORK HISTORY
Senior Power System Engineer @National Grid
Warwick, GB
Identify and drive electricity transmission growth initiatives to enable Net Zero by 2050, including 2050 network architecture, onshore UHV reinforcement, and nodal modelling for constraint cost forecasting.• Lead strategic projects for stakeholders, delivering high-quality outputs on time and engaging with executives and government partners.• Rapidly develop investment plans for future energy scenarios, optimising system solutions for cost efficiency and value.• Translate government policy, technology trends, and industry insights into actionable network analysis for executive decisions.• Build custom power system solutions using advanced algorithms, Python automation, visualisation tools, and cost-benefit analysis systems.• Support subregional strategies which aim to deliver a resilient, futureproof network balancing short-term reinforcement needs with long-term flexibility, optimised lifecycle value, and regulatory compliance (SQSS).• Manage studies on transmission infrastructure impacts, optioneering, and network constraint costs to identify no-regret options.• Act as colleague voice representative, gathering feedback and collaborating with senior leadership to drive organisational improvements.• Mentor junior engineers, graduates, and apprentices, ensuring balanced workloads and professional growth.• Key achievements: bespoke automated network analysis tools, challenged investment cases, solved challenging cross-team issues, and earned 10+ “Make-it-Happen” awards for exceptional delivery.

ABOUT MIKE BRIAN NDAWULA
I’m a senior power systems engineer driving the electricity transmission transformation needed for net zero by 2050 in the UK. From leading strategic investment planning at National Grid that bridges government policy and technical reality, to building grid infrastructure and advising on climate-smart energy solutions in Uganda, to pioneering smart grid research with international collaborators during my PhD at Bath—I solve complex energy challenges across policy, engineering, and innovation. I manage high-value strategic projects for executive and government stakeholders, rapidly translating future energy scenarios into optimised network solutions while building custom software tools using advanced power system algorithms to accelerate critical analysis. With over 15 international publications advancing the scientific understanding of smart grids and renewable integration, I combine deep technical expertise with project leadership and entrepreneurial drive. As a mentor, colleague representative, and someone who’s earned 10+ organisational awards for impact, I’m committed to building both the infrastructure and the capability needed to power a sustainable
