Mid-Level Grid Interconnection Consultant in Canada Creek, Nova Scotia at Jobgether

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Mid-Level Grid Interconnection Consultant in Canada.

In this role, you will contribute to the planning and integration of new power generation resources into complex transmission systems across North America. You will support utility-scale interconnection studies for renewable and conventional energy projects, helping ensure safe, reliable, and compliant grid integration. Working in a highly technical consulting environment, you will collaborate with engineers and clients to assess system impacts, develop interconnection strategies, and evaluate grid performance scenarios. Your work will directly support the expansion of clean energy and the modernization of transmission infrastructure. This position is ideal for a power systems engineer who enjoys analytical problem-solving, technical depth, and exposure to ISO/RTO markets. You will also play a role in advancing modern engineering practices, including automation and AI-assisted workflows.

• Prepare and support generator interconnection applications, including single-line diagrams, compliance checks, and development of steady-state, dynamic, and short-circuit models.
• Review ISO/RTO feasibility and system impact studies and provide technical guidance to clients on interconnection requirements and outcomes.
• Perform advanced power system analyses, including load flow, thermal and voltage contingency, short-circuit, and transient stability studies.
• Develop and evaluate grid modeling scenarios for renewable and conventional generation projects, including wind, solar, battery storage, and hybrid systems.
• Utilize industry-standard software such as PSS/E, PSLF, TARA, PSCAD, and EMTP-RV to conduct transmission planning and dynamic simulations.
• Interpret and apply technical requirements from ISOs/RTOs such as PJM, MISO, NYISO, ERCOT, SPP, CAISO, and ISO-NE.
• Contribute to technical reports, proposals, and client deliverables with clear documentation and analytical justification.
• Support project planning activities, ensuring studies and deliverables align with client expectations and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to guide engineering decisions and improve study methodologies.
• Participate in initiatives that leverage automation, scripting, and AI tools to enhance engineering efficiency and reduce rework.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with strong academic focus on power systems analysis.
• 3+ years of experience in power systems engineering, particularly in transmission planning or grid interconnection studies.
• Strong knowledge of ISO/RTO markets and grid regions such as PJM, MISO, NYISO, ERCOT, SPP, CAISO, and ISO-NE.
• Experience modeling inverter-based resources such as wind, solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and hybrid plants.
• Hands-on experience with power system simulation tools such as PSS/E, PSLF, TARA, and familiarity with PSCAD or EMTP-RV.
• Strong understanding of load flow, contingency analysis, short-circuit studies, and transient stability modeling.
• Excellent technical writing skills with experience producing engineering reports and client-facing documentation.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and client teams.
• Ability to manage multiple technical tasks and contribute to project planning and delivery timelines.
• Interest or exposure to automation, scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB), or AI-enabled engineering workflows is an asset.

• Competitive compensation ranging from $81,278 to $124,175 depending on experience and qualifications.
• Eligibility for annual discretionary bonus based on performance.
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage supporting medical, dental, and vision needs.
• Generous paid time off to support work-life balance and personal well-being.
• Retirement and financial security programs where applicable.
• Exposure to cutting-edge power systems projects across North America.
• Opportunity to work in a flexible, remote-friendly environment within Canada.
• Professional development opportunities in advanced engineering tools, automation, and AI-driven workflows.
• Inclusive and collaborative culture focused on technical excellence and innovation.
