TL;DR · Interconnection Engineer

Interconnection Engineer (CAISO) joins the Grid & Growth team to support the siting and interconnection of a renewable power portfolio to transmission systems across the United States. This role involves performing strategic analysis of interconnection procedures, queues, and transmission systems to guide greenfield project siting while managing requests through to final agreements. The engineer will review utility study reports, analyze power flow models using PSS/E or PSLF, and monitor system upgrades to identify mitigation solutions within open access transmission tariffs. Key responsibilities include preparing technical materials for interconnection request packages, evaluating site plans, and negotiating Generator Interconnection Agreements. Required expertise includes knowledge of System Impact Studies, electrical diagrams, and experience with CAISO, PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, or SMUD. The role addresses the complex challenge of integrating solar, wind, and battery storage projects into the existing power grid infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Analyze interconnection procedures and transmission systems to guide greenfield project siting.
  • Prepare, manage, and file interconnection requests through to final agreement execution.
  • Review and analyze utility study reports and power flow models like PSS/E or PSLF.
  • Negotiate and execute Generator Interconnection Agreements and engineering procurement contracts.
  • Monitor system upgrade progress and identify creative mitigation solutions within transmission tariffs.
  • Support due diligence efforts by identifying potential issues for the regional lead.
  • Coordinate construction schedules with transmission owners to ensure timely facility completion.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in Power Systems or a related field.
  • 2 to 5 years of work history in renewable or traditional energy development, utility generation development, or transmission planning.
  • Experience reviewing and running power flow models such as PSS/E and/or PSLF.
  • Knowledge of System Impact Studies (SIS) and other interconnection studies for transmission-level renewable energy facilities.
  • Familiarity with Open Access Transmission Tariffs and Generator Interconnection Procedures.
  • Understanding of electrical diagrams, preliminary site plans, and the preparation of interconnection request packages.
  • Experience in negotiating and executing Generator Interconnection Agreements and related contracts.
  • Work authorization.
