  • Identify potential grid issues and develop technically sound and cost-effective mitigation solutions
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for utilities (ISOs, Transmission Owners, Distribution Utilities) throughout the interconnection process
  • Prepare clear, concise, and comprehensive technical reports, study results, and presentations for internal stakeholders and external clients/utilities
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers
  • Contribute to the development of internal study methodologies, standards, and tools
  • Maintain deep understanding of relevant interconnection procedures (FERC, NERC, state-specific), technical standards (NERC PRC, TPL, IEEE), and evolving grid requirements

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Electrical preferred
  • Advanced degree preferred
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in power system engineering
  • Professional Engineer’s License preferred
  • Demonstrated skill and experience in power systems analysis
  • Experience with interconnection applications for large industrial loads beyond Data Centers
