Accountabilities:

Lead and mentor a team of transmission planning and interconnection study engineers, ensuring technical excellence, professional development, and strong delivery performance across all engagements.
Oversee and deliver complex power system studies, including load flow, voltage stability, transient stability, and short-circuit analyses supporting interconnection and reliability assessments.
Manage client relationships and act as a key technical advisor to utilities, ISOs, and independent power producers, translating complex findings into actionable insights for decision-makers.
Supervise project execution, including scope definition, budgeting, staffing, scheduling, and risk management across multiple concurrent engineering studies.
Review and validate technical deliverables to ensure accuracy, compliance with industry standards, and alignment with client requirements and regulatory frameworks.
Contribute hands-on to high-impact or complex studies, supporting the team in solving advanced power system challenges.
Prepare and present progress reports, technical findings, and strategic recommendations to executive stakeholders and external clients.
Support business development activities by shaping proposals, defining project scopes, and identifying new client opportunities in the energy sector.
Drive continuous improvement in engineering processes, study methodologies, and resource optimization across projects.
Collaborate with global teams to ensure consistency, scalability, and quality in engineering delivery across regions.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in power systems analysis, including at least 3+ years in a leadership or client-facing technical role.

Solid knowledge of interconnection processes, reliability standards, substation design, and protection and control systems.
Demonstrated ability to manage client relationships and deliver complex technical projects on time and within budget.
Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for both technical and executive audiences.
Experience with Python or IPLAN is considered an asset.
Strong leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making skills in ambiguous and fast-paced environments.
