Immediate need for Senior Power System Engineers. Require a bachelor's degree and support all aspects of transmission studies on power flow, voltage stability, transient stability, and other power system analyses. Experience with PSS/E or TARA. Preference will be given to candidates with a Ph.D. or a Master's degree in Power Systems.

Remote options will be considered for senior applicants.

How you’ll help

Will perform power system analysis for 138 kV and above transmission system, including power flow, voltage stability, transient stability and short circuit analyses.
Will prepare steady state, short circuit and dynamic models
Will support senior engineer in preparing technical reports.
Will offer technical consultations and oversee the process of new generation interconnection requests throughout the planning cycle.
Will conduct and review system impact studies, analyzing steady-state load flow and transient stability performance, as well as performing reactive planning, Load Interconnection studies, and mitigation planning.
Will use PSS/e and TARA to conduct voltage ride-through and critical clearing time analysis for generator interconnection studies related to upcoming renewable
