Power Systems Engineer II

Overview:

We are designing the Grid of the future

We are innovators by nature, for over 50 years, Electric Power Engineers, LLC (EPE) has partnered with power and energy clients across the globe to focus on complex engineering and grid modeling challenges. As an early leader in the renewables space, we continue to see significant opportunities to build a sustainable and secure Grid.  Join a team committed to making an impact on the communities we serve and the environment in which we live. Together we can continue to create the “grid of the future”!

Join us in leading the change!

Develop and conduct computer modeling and analysis for transmission planning studies which include steady state analysis, short circuit analysis, and dynamic stability analysis. Studies may include near-term and long-term transmission planning, generator interconnection studies, reliability-driven transmission project alternatives development, and NERC standards compliance analyses. 

How you can make an impact:

• Perform Generation Integration and Interconnection efforts within the Western Interconnection and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) footprint.
• Identify optimal strategy for project interconnection to the grid based on system impacts and assessing grid capacity.
• Support business development activities within ERCOT and/or the West.
• Work on interconnection projects, including modeling, due diligence, interconnection analysis.
