About The Position

Our Senior Forward Reliability Engineering & Support Engineer will collaborate within the organization to review and develop processes or systems to support effective management of the electric grid. You will work in an environment of next-day analysis that has a different focus than Real-Time actions or Long-Term Transmission Planning. You can apply your power system knowledge and make measurable, realized, and direct impact toward the operation of the Bulk Electric System tomorrow. You will also be part of a team that prepares the electric system for expected operating conditions a day ahead of what system conditions are expected be. This is done through collaboration with multiple departments internal to MISO, Member utilities, and external resources. As a Senior Forward Reliability Engineering & Support Engineer, you will also have the opportunity to analyze the power system through techniques you have learned in school or through career experience and make changes to the operating plan to ensure a successful operating day. Additionally, you will be given the opportunity to design future processes to ensure compatibility within MISO and external customers. These projects may be to meet exciting industry changes or driven by new software requirements. In one year, you will know if you were successful when: You have demonstrated proficiency in group tools and processes that are operated by Forward Reliability Engineering & Support and inter-department handoffs without assistance. You have changed at least one process or tool that changes our analysis or inter-department handoff.
