You will work closely with EPE’s Transmission Planning leadership and Business Development team to:

• Evaluate markets
• Research clients
• Identify the right stakeholders
• Develop targeted account strategies
• Translate technical and regulatory challenges into actionable opportunities and scopes of work

You will stay connected to evolving engineering practices and industry developments while building relationships with transmission planning engineers, managers, directors, executives, and other key industry stakeholders. Success in this role means helping EPE pursue the right clients, with the right services, at the right time, for the right reasons.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in transmission planning, power systems engineering, electric utility operations, ISO/RTO planning, engineering consulting, or a closely related field.
• Significant hands-on experience performing or overseeing transmission system studies and analyses.
• Demonstrated experience working with electric utilities, transmission owners, ISO/RTOs, or other bulk power system organizations.
• Strong understanding of how transmission planning organizations operate.

• Knowledge of EMT applications and the role of high-fidelity simulation in evaluating control interactions.
• Understanding of NERC reliability standards, FERC requirements, ISO/RTO planning processes, and regional transmission planning practices.
• Ability to understand regulatory filings, transmission plans, interconnection activity, capital programs, industry publications, and other sources of market intelligence.
• Strong research and analytical capabilities with the ability to synthesize information from multiple sources into actionable client and market strategies.
