[Hiring] Power System Engineer @TEKsystems

Role Description

As a Senior Engineer – Generator Interconnection, you’ll play an important role in evaluating new and changing generation across the company footprint. You’ll perform and manage power system studies that help determine how generation can reliably interconnect to the transmission system while serving as a technical resource for the company’s interconnection customers, Transmission Owners, and neighboring RTOs.

This role combines technical power system analysis, project ownership, problem-solving, and customer interaction. Depending on your assignments, you may also serve as the project manager for system impact studies, helping coordinate studies from kickoff through completion and keeping multiple stakeholders aligned along the way.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Manage and perform system impact studies for generator interconnection requests in the company’s Generator Interconnection Queue, evaluating the reliability impacts of connecting new resources to the transmission system.
• Review and evaluate projects proposed by the company’s Transmission Owners, providing technical recommendations based on power system analysis and established reliability requirements.
• Serve as a subject matter expert on assigned projects, communicating study results, technical requirements, and project details to interconnection customers, Transmission Owners, neighboring RTOs, and internal teams.

Generator interconnection is at the center of a rapidly changing electric grid. In this role, your studies won’t simply live in a report—they’ll help determine how new generation projects move forward, what transmission improvements may be needed, and how the company continues to maintain a reliable system as the generation fleet evolves.

You’ll have the opportunity to build deep technical expertise while gaining exposure to customers, Transmission Owners, neighboring grid operators, and teams across the company. If you enjoy combining power system engineering with project ownership and collaboration, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of the grid.
