  • Independently support long-term (three-year and one-year) and short-term (three-month) operational planning horizons for outage coordination, utilizing power flow models to coordinate planned outages and reduce the risk of projects failing to obtain required outage approvals.

  • Coordinate outage-related planning input with the System Operations and PMO functions to support holistic outage scheduling across the business.

  • Independently manage the MISO and PJM operational/network models and coordinate with the System Planning team on forecasted modeling changes.

  • Independently submit and maintain tickets in MISO CROW and PJM eDART to reflect project and outage-related model changes.

  • Provide the Transmission Operations Control Center assistance in times of emergency such as extreme weather events, emergency repairs, or system restoration to ensure a timely return to energization of AES customers.

Position Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or similar.

  • A minimum of 2 years' experience working in the Electric Utility industry

  • Ability to perform analysis and prepare engineering deliverables without supervision

  • Passing Grade on Fundamentals of Engineering

Highly Desired Skills:
  • Bachelor's degree, certificate or equivalent experience in power systems studies

  • Proficiency in project scheduling and schedule management, including Primavera P6 or similar software

  • Detailed understanding of regulatory frameworks (NERC, FERC, PJM/MISO).

  • The ability to communicate complex ideas verbally and in writing.

  • Proven technical knowledge and understanding of Transmission grid

  • Experience with MISO CROW and/or PJM eDART ticket submission and management.
