Job description

Renewables Transmission & Interconnection Engineer -

Dig into grid stuff:

Run steady-state transmission studies using tools like TARA to figure out where the network might need upgrades-and come up with smart ways to avoid them, depending on what U.S. market you're in.

Renewables Transmission & Interconnection Engineer -

All things modeling:

Build and tweak BESS models in PSLF, PSS/E, and PSCAD for load flow and dynamics. Simulate disturbances, fine-tune IBR performance, and make sure storage plants behave how the grid expects them to.

Renewables Transmission & Interconnection Engineer -

Grid gatekeeping:

Handle generator interconnection submissions across ISOs and RTOs, sit in on scoping meetings, and manage back-and-forth with utilities and grid operators to push projects through.

Renewables Transmission & Interconnection Engineer -

Tech translator:

Help other teams understand what interconnection means, what's missing (like reactive power), and how we can meet compliance and technical needs.

Renewables Transmission & Interconnection Engineer -

Big-picture thinker:

Keep tabs on how transmission reliability holds up short- and long-term, look at what other utilities and grid operators are doing, and figure out how those moves might affect our projects.

Renewables Transmission & Interconnection Engineer -

Find the best fit:

Scout cost-effective grid solutions, study system limits, and offer solid advice on how our BESS projects plug into various transmission and distribution setups-now and in the future.

Renewables Transmission & Interconnection Engineer -

Team with the system operators:

Align our plans with what ISOs and RTOs are planning, making sure we meet both current and evolving bulk power standards.

1-5 years of hands-on experience in the power or energy world, with bonus points for time spent in renewables or working on complex electrical systems.

Power system chops:

You know your way around modeling, simulations, and running power flow studies.

TARA experience HIGHLY .

Other tools like PSCAD, PSLF, and PSSE will be considered.

Market savvy:

You're fluent in how markets like CAISO, PJM, SPP, MISO operate (beyond just ERCOT). That experience really shines when things get technical., You're great at influencing cross-functional teams and pulling people together-even across regions, time zones, and gaps.

Client-facing confidence:
