It works closely with the Interconnection Execution team to provide transmission insights and analysis throughout the interconnection process.

The position focuses on steady-state power-flow analysis and translating technical results into clear project and business implications.

• At least 5 years of experience in electrical power systems, including at least 3 years in generation interconnection.
• Strong knowledge of transmission planning, power-flow analysis, and interconnection processes.
• Strong proficiency in TARA modules (e.g., PJM GD or MISO ERIS/NRIS or FCITC) is highly preferred, along with experience in PSSE and/or PSCAD.
• Working knowledge of PJM or MISO interconnection procedures, cost allocation rules, and market structures.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Willingness to improve existing processes rather than only execute routine tasks.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree or PhD.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in one or more states.
• Previous experience in an IPP, ISO, utility, or as a transmission consultant.
• Experience with Python, SQL, VBA, or other programming tools used for automation, data analysis, model processing, or reporting.

• Interest in applying AI-assisted workflows, coding tools, and automation to improve study efficiency and reduce manual work.
• Familiarity with due diligence for project acquisition or commercial transactions.

Responsibilities

• Perform system-wide transmission analysis to identify and prioritize development in low-cost, high-capacity grid areas.
• Evaluate congestion patterns and basis risk to guide project siting and portfolio strategy.
• Lead and manage interconnection applications and queue positions during cluster study phases in PJM and/or MISO.
• Analyze and review ISO interconnection study reports to identify potential errors and cost-saving opportunities, and develop alternative scenarios to strengthen the project queue portfolio.
• Support congestion and deliverability screening, including ILTTR, FTR, TSR, basis-risk, and other market-relevant transmission analyses where applicable.
• Conduct or support Transmission Service Request studies related to NRIS needs, battery charging, deliverability, and other project-specific transmission service requirements.
• Conduct power-flow analysis to support project development and M&A evaluations.
• Participate in ISO stakeholder processes, meetings, and working groups to stay aligned with queue reforms and changes.
• Develop, maintain, or support automation scripts and repeatable workflows for model processing, data analysis, quality checks, result validation, and reporting.

Benefits

• Generous paid time off.
