Power Systems Engineer – Grid & Renewable Integration

Remotely
Full-time
ETAP Aspen Plus SKM Power Tools PSS/E

An established engineering consultancy delivers mission-critical studies, cutting-edge design, and forward-looking strategy for utilities, heavy industry, and public agencies. The team values curiosity, precision, and rapid knowledge sharing—regardless of where you log in.


Key Responsibilities  

- Perform steady-state and dynamic load-flow, short-circuit, and transient stability analyses using ETAP, PSS/E, SKM PowerTools, and PSCAD.  

- Develop comprehensive protection & coordination schemes—relays, breaker settings, arc-flash mitigation—for new and existing substations.  

- Model renewable plants (solar, wind, BESS) and prepare grid interconnection packages that satisfy IEEE 1547, FERC, and regional ISO rules.  

- Draft single-line diagrams, equipment specifications, and construction packages for HV and MV transmission lines up to 500 kV.  

- Conduct reliability and contingency assessments that uphold NERC TPL and PRC standards—*no surprises allowed*.  

- Author clear technical reports and present findings to utility clients, regulatory bodies, and cross-disciplinary stakeholders.  

- Mentor junior engineers, cultivating a safety-first mindset and a passion for innovative power quality solutions.  


Must-Have Qualifications  

- ABET-accredited Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering; Master’s a plus.  

- 5+ years in power system analysis or protection design.  

- Demonstrated command of ETAP, SKM PowerTools, PSS/E, PSCAD, CYME, or Aspen OneLiner.  

- Solid grounding in high-voltage equipment, AC/DC machines, and grounding techniques.  

- Working knowledge of NESC, NEC, and current NERC reliability standards.  

- Eligibility for, or possession of, a U.S. Professional Engineer (PE) license.  

- Fluent written and verbal English—able to translate complex results into crisp, actionable insight.  


Desirable Extras  

- Experience with electromagnetic transient studies (EMT) for inverter-based resources.  

- Familiarity with microgrid control strategies and DERMS platforms.  

- Prior involvement in grid modernization projects—dynamic line rating, synchrophasor deployment, or adaptive protection.  

- Competence in Python or MATLAB for custom automation and data visualization.  

- OSHA 30-hour or NFPA 70E training certification.  


What You Will Work On  

Tomorrow’s grid needs flexible thinkers. One week you will verify relay coordination for an urban substation upgrade; the next, you may model a 200-MW solar farm’s ride-through behavior under severe fault conditions. Expect to juggle competing priorities—data crunching, client meetings, peer reviews—while never losing sight of safety, reliability, and carbon-reduction goals.


Why This Team  

Expect a collegial culture that prizes autonomy, technical rigor, and growth. You will interface with seasoned protection specialists, renewable integrators, and civil designers who welcome fresh perspectives and new questions—*because great engineering starts with great conversations*.
