Our client has an exciting and challenging opportunity for a PM Energy Transmission Planning and Modeling in their Energy Delivery practice. This position is remote in the United States and will require 10-15% travel. This role involves coordinating the development and evaluation of power system models such as power-flow, short-circuit, and dynamic models for both planning and operational purposes, ensuring they accurately reflect transmission topology and electrical characteristics. It includes performing and reviewing transmission system studies to assess performance and regulatory compliance (e.g. with NERC standards), while identifying mitigation strategies and providing advisory reports to clients. The position also supports NERC compliance efforts, evaluates transmission expansion opportunities to meet strategic goals, and manages planning processes for facility interconnections. Additionally, the role serves as a technical liaison with RTOs/ISOs, handling tasks like asset registration, performance reviews, and stakeholder engagement.

The main responsibilities for this role include:

• Serve as a secondary contact our clients and provide consultancy and advisory services relative to transmission planning efforts, standards and requirements.
• Serve as the technical supervisor to Associate, Engineer, Lead, Project Lead, or Senior Project Lead staff.

• Coordinate with Consultants from other departments relative to providing transmission planning expertise for RFP evaluation, Integrated Resource Planning, Rate and Transmission filings at State Commissions and FERC.
• Coordinate development of planning power system models (power-flow, short-circuit and dynamic) and the operating network models with respect to transmission topology, transmission and electrical characteristics.
• Evaluate vendor-supplied and client-supplied information for the development of the planning power system models (power-flow, short-circuit and dynamic) and the operating network models.
• Coordinate and perform transmission system studies using industry-accepted software tools to assess system performance, compliance with the NERC transmission planning standards, including generator interconnection, deliverability studies, and transmission system impact studies.
• Review results of transmission system studies, propose mitigations, coordinate and draft quantitative and qualitative reports and advise clients relative to transmission impacts and cost/benefit strategies.
• Coordinate NERC compliance assessments and review regional standards.
• Develop strategies and processes to identify and evaluate potential transmission expansion opportunities to improve strategic goals such as reducing transmission losses, reducing system congestion and improving operation.
• Coordinate representation throughout the entire planning process associated with the interconnection of transmission, load and facilities.
• Serve as a technical liaison with the RTO/ISO by supporting asset registration and qualification, facilities performance review, power flow modeling support and other activities as needed.
• Provide representation at RTO/ISO transmission and stakeholder workgroups.
