Senior Engineer, System Planning
About The Position
This role involves leading, conducting, and presenting scenario and probabilistic-based planning studies for existing and forecast system conditions. The engineer will contribute sound engineering input to develop robust, reliable, and low-cost solutions. Key responsibilities include exchanging results and critically reviewing data and assumptions with regional and industry stakeholders, interfacing with ISO-New England, area transmission owners, and internal departments to understand and mitigate electric system needs and challenges, and enabling growth. The role also requires coordinating and overseeing studies performed by vendors and consultants, analyzing their assumptions and conclusions for integration into company initiatives. Additionally, the engineer will prepare engineering output and summarize findings in reports, spreadsheets, and presentations for various audiences. Collaboration with cross-functional groups is essential for developing long-range planning standards and criteria for integrating new technologies. The position also involves collaborating with ISO-NE, Academia, and DOE National Labs on power system planning and operation technology strategy, research, and development. Emergency restoration assignments may be required as needed.
