Senior Transmission Planning Engineer
About The Position
The successful candidate will have a focus on Transmission System Planning & Analysis and provide highly-skilled engineering and analytically based services to assess power system performance for electric transmission systems under steady-state and dynamic conditions. Studies are primarily focused on dynamic stability, transient stability, and short circuit analysis, but may address a variety of other concerns including economics, harmonics, transient analysis, and power quality. This role may require occasional travel As a Transmission Planning Consultant, you’ll play a crucial role in shaping the future of power systems. Your day-to-day will involve power system modeling and analysis across various planning horizons using specialized software. You’ll develop and evaluate alternatives for interconnecting or modifying generating units and other resources, and you’ll advise clients on study processes and methods used by ISOs/RTOs and transmission owners. You’ll also assess the reliability and efficiency of existing and planned power systems, developing solutions to address any concerns and ensure compliance with standards. Additionally, you’ll develop and validate models for generating units, inverters, and other resources. Managing and mentoring less experienced staff will be part of your role, helping them develop new skills and grow professionally.
