- Perform steady-state, short-circuit, and dynamic/transient stability analyses to support transmission planning and grid reliability assessments.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to electrical engineers, supporting skill development and high-quality analysis delivery.
- Develop mitigation strategies for identified system constraints, stability concerns, and operational risks.
- Conduct specialized power system studies, including sub-synchronous resonance and other advanced grid behavior analyses.
- Review and enhance transmission planning methodologies, engineering processes, and technical standards.
- Engage with clients and stakeholders to communicate findings, address requirements, and guide technical decision-making.
- Ensure timely delivery of projects while meeting defined quality, budget, and performance objectives.
- Contribute to process improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency and analytical capabilities.
- Support business development efforts through technical input and proposal development.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with a focus on power systems preferred.
- 5 years of professional experience in power systems engineering, including steady-state and dynamic analysis.
- Strong expertise with industry tools such as PSS/E and TARA, with familiarity in additional simulation platforms.
- Solid understanding of power system fundamentals, transient stability, and grid operation principles.
- Experience working with North American power regions and ISOs/RTOs (e.g., PJM, MISO, ERCOT, CAISO, SPP, WECC, NYISO, SERC, NEISO).
- Strong communication and technical writing skills for client-facing reports and presentations.
- Proven ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
- Experience with PSCAD or EMT studies is considered a strong asset.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package aligned with experience and expertise.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage, with premium coverage for employees.
- Generous PTO and paid holidays.
