Managing and mentoring less experienced staff will be part of your role, helping them develop new skills and grow professionally.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree with concentration in power systems engineering and equivalent experience developed through detailed analysis of power systems;
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in wide-area power system modeling, analysis, and planning, including power flow/steady state, dynamic stability, transient stability, and short circuit studies for interconnections on the transmission system
