About The Position

As a Senior Engineer Generator Interconnection, you'll play an important role in evaluating new and changing generation across the client footprint. You’ll perform and manage power system studies that help determine how generation can reliably interconnect to the transmission system while serving as a technical resource for clients interconnection customers, Transmission Owners, and neighboring RTOs. This role combines technical power system analysis, project ownership, problem-solving, and customer interaction. Depending on your assignments, you may also serve as the project manager for system impact studies, helping coordinate studies from kickoff through completion and keeping multiple stakeholders aligned along the way. Generator interconnection is at the center of a rapidly changing electric grid. In this role, your studies won't simply live in a report—they'll help determine how new generation projects move forward, what transmission improvements may be needed, and how the client continues to maintain a reliable system as the generation fleet evolves. You’ll have the opportunity to build deep technical expertise while gaining exposure to customers, Transmission Owners, neighboring grid operators, and teams across the client. If you enjoy combining power system engineering with project ownership and collaboration, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of the grid.
