Enertis Applus is expanding its interconnection advisory and grid strategy capabilities and seeks a senior Interconnection, Grid & Power Systems Principal / Subject Matter Expert (SME) to serve as the firm’s primary technical authority and external-facing advisor on grid integration for utility-scale generation, large electrical loads (including data centers), hybrid power systems, and multi-technology microgrids. This role anchors Enertis Applus’ credibility with utilities, ISOs/RTOs, lenders, investors, developers, and large power users, shaping how interconnection risk, grid compliance, reliability, and power-system architecture are evaluated, mitigated, and communicated across development, financing, and execution. The SME defines Enertis Applus’ technical philosophy for grid integration across both supply-side and demand-side projects, translating evolving regulatory, reliability, and market requirements into defensible, bankable guidance for clients and internal teams.
Job Responsibility:
Serve as Enertis Applus’ lead advisor on interconnection strategy for wind, solar, BESS, hybrid projects, large electrical loads (data centers, industrial campuses), and behind-the-meter or grid-connected microgrids
Advise clients on interconnection feasibility, queue and study risk, cost exposure, schedule drivers, and mitigation strategies for both generation and large-load interconnections
Provide guidance on grid integration of co-located generation and load, islandable microgrids, and multi-technology power systems combining renewable, storage, thermal, and backup generation assets
Support clients evaluating dedicated generation supply for data centers, private transmission solutions, or hybrid grid/behind-the-meter configurations
Monitor and interpret evolving ISO/RTO rules, NERC requirements, IEEE standards, and utility criteria impacting renewable interconnection as well as large load integration and reliability requirements for critical infrastructure
Track implications of standards such as IEEE 1547/2800, NERC reliability frameworks, large-load connection requirements, and emerging reliability standards tied to high-density electrical demand
Serve as internal authority on grid reliability and system stability considerations for high-impact load clusters and hybrid generation-load systems
Represent Enertis Applus as a recognized authority on grid integration of renewable generation, storage, and emerging high-density loads such as data centers
Author whitepapers and advisories on grid capacity constraints, transmission access strategies, and evolving power-system architectures driven by electrification and digital infrastructure growth
Define IE/OE technical standards for interconnection facilities, POI substations, and large-load substations, private transmission assets, and microgrid interface designs
Develop evaluation frameworks for hybrid generation-load systems, microgrids, and reliability-critical facilities
Serve as escalation point for complex discussions involving large-load interconnection, dedicated supply strategies, grid reliability for mission-critical facilities, and hybrid power system design
Requirements:
8+ years in Independent Engineering, Owner’s Engineering, utility, ISO/RTO, grid advisory, large-load integration, transmission planning, data-center power systems, or microgrid engineering
Deep understanding of interconnection processes, screening criteria, EMT models for IBRs, advanced grid support (AGS) and ridethrough requirements, protection philosophies, and commissioning workflows across generation assets, high-density loads, and hybrid power systems
Experience at tier-one consultancies, utilities, reliability organizations, ISOs/RTOs, data-center developers, hyperscale infrastructure firms, or engineering firms specializing in large-load power systems
Familiarity with project finance and lender expectations for grid-connected assets or large-scale energy infrastructure supporting critical operations
