Senior Transmission Planning Engineer

About This Role

Provide highly-skilled engineering and analytical services to assess power system performance for electric transmission systems, focusing on studies like dynamic and transient stability, and short circuit analysis. This role involves power system modeling, analysis across various planning horizons, and advising clients on study processes while mentoring junior staff.

Responsibilities

• Provide highly-skilled engineering and analytically based services to assess power system performance for electric transmission systems under steady-state and dynamic conditions
• Perform studies focused on dynamic stability, transient stability, short circuit analysis, economics, harmonics, transient analysis, and power quality
• Conduct power system modeling and analysis across various planning horizons using specialized software
• Develop and evaluate alternatives for interconnecting or modifying generating units and other resources
• Advise clients on study processes and methods used by ISOs/RTOs and transmission owners
• Assess the reliability and efficiency of existing and planned power systems
• Develop solutions to address concerns and ensure compliance with standards
• Develop and validate models for generating units, inverters, and other resources
• Manage and mentor less experienced staff in developing new skills and professional growth

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree with concentration in power systems engineering or equivalent experience
• Minimum 5 years of experience in wide-area power system modeling, analysis, and planning
• Proficient with power system modeling and analysis tools: Siemens PTI PSS®E Steady State Power Flow and Dynamics, PowerGem TARA, PowerWorld, or PSLF

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree with concentration in power systems engineering
• Minimum 5 years of experience in wide-area power system modeling, analysis, and planning, including power flow/steady state, dynamic stability, transient stability, and short circuit studies for interconnections on the transmission system

Nice to Have

• Experience with PSCAD software
• Experienced with rules, tariffs, guidelines, and processes of system operators (ISOs/RTOs) in one or more areas and studies of interconnections and transmission service
