We are seeking Power Systems Engineers across multiple experience levels to support the planning, analysis, and operation of electric power systems. These roles will focus on transmission and distribution (T&D) systems, including interconnection studies, power flow analysis, and grid reliability assessments. Candidates will contribute to projects spanning system planning, renewable integration, and grid modernization initiatives.
Contract Duration: 24 Months to Start, Potential to Extend or Convert
Key Responsibilities:
- Perform power system studies, including power flow (load flow), short-circuit, and stability analysis for transmission and distribution networks
- Support and execute interconnection studies for generation resources (e.g., solar, wind, storage), ensuring compliance with utility and regulatory requirements
- Design, model, and analyze transmission and distribution systems to ensure reliability, efficiency, and scalability
- Evaluate system performance under normal and contingency conditions (N-1/N-2), identifying risks and recommending mitigation strategies
- Develop and validate system models using industry-standard tools such as PSSE, PowerWorld Simulator, or ETAP
- Collaborate cross-functionally with planning, operations, and project teams to support grid expansion and modernization efforts
- Ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulatory frameworks (e.g., NERC, IEEE, regional requirements)
- Prepare and present technical reports, study results, and engineering recommendations to internal and external stakeholders
Key Tasks & Duties:
- Conduct power flow analysis to assess system loading, voltage profiles, and congestion across T&D networks
- Perform interconnection and feasibility studies, including system impact and facility studies for new generation or load connections
- Analyze short-circuit currents, protection coordination, and equipment ratings
- Support transmission planning and distribution system upgrades, including capacity expansion and reliability improvements
- Develop detailed engineering documentation, including single-line diagrams, study reports, and technical specifications
- Assist in commissioning, testing, and validation of system upgrades and new installations
- Investigate and troubleshoot system disturbances, outages, and performance issues
- Contribute to project planning, including cost estimates, schedules, and risk assessments
Qualifications (Level-Based Flexibility):
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field highly preferred
- Foundational understanding of power systems analysis, transmission and distribution systems, and grid operations
- Exposure to or experience with power flow analysis and modeling tools
Preferred Qualifications (Mid–Senior Levels)
- Hands-on experience performing interconnection studies and advanced power system analyses
- Proficiency with tools such as PSSE, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, or PowerWorld Simulator
- Experience working with utilities, ISOs/RTOs (e.g., ERCOT, PJM Interconnection), or renewable developers
- Knowledge of NERC, FERC, and IEEE standards, including interconnection and reliability requirements
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or progress toward a license
