Job Summary

Our Client is an engineering and energy consulting firm supporting utilities, renewable-energy developers, investors, government agencies, and other power-sector clients. Since 2011, our client has supported more than 180 GW of clean and renewable energy projects.

We are seeking a Principal Power Systems Engineer to serve as a senior technical and client-facing leader. This role will lead complex grid interconnection, transmission planning, renewable and battery-storage integration, inverter-based resource (IBR), and reliability studies while mentoring engineers and supporting client growth.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Lead complex power-system, interconnection, transmission, renewable, storage, IBR, power-quality, and grid-compliance studies.
  • Establish study methodology, assumptions, modeling approaches, and quality standards.
  • Review, validate, and troubleshoot models and serve as a final technical reviewer.
  • Lead RMS and EMT modeling, validation, and IBR performance assessments.
  • Present and defend technical findings to clients, utilities, ISO/RTOs, and other stakeholders.
  • Manage key client relationships, project scope, schedules, and technical deliverables.
  • Mentor engineers and review technical work.
  • Support proposals, scopes, fee estimates, and business development.
  • Stay current on FERC, NERC, IEEE, ISO/RTO, utility, and Canadian grid requirements.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, power systems, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 8+ years of U.S. and/or Canadian power-sector experience, including senior or technical leadership responsibilities.
  • Strong experience with IBR modeling, grid integration, and complex power-system studies.
  • Advanced proficiency in at least two platforms such as PSCAD/EMTDC, PSS/E, GE PSLF, ASPEN, MATLAB/Simulink, or PowerGEM TARA.
  • Experience with RMS and EMT modeling and model validation.
  • Strong client-facing experience and ability to defend technical work before external stakeholders.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and managing project scope, budget, and schedules.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Authorization to work in the U.S. or Canada, or ability to obtain authorization through employer-sponsored immigration support. Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s, M.Eng., or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, power systems, or a related field.
  • PE, P.Eng., or progress toward professional licensure.
  • Experience with ISO/RTO interconnection queues and grid requirements.
  • Experience with grid-forming inverters, weak-grid conditions, renewable-plus-storage, or large-load/data-center interconnections.
  • Knowledge of NERC, IEEE 1547, IEEE 2800, FERC, and Canadian operator requirements.
  • Programming or automation experience with Python, C++, MATLAB, Excel VBA, R, or similar tools.
  • Proposal development, regulatory, technical advisory, or business-development experience.

Work Environment / Schedule

  • Fully remote within the U.S. or Canada.
  • Collaboration across North American time zones.
  • Occasional domestic and international travel.
  • Valid passport and ability to travel across the U.S.–Canada border, as legally permitted.

Compensation and Benefits

  • $175,000–$215,000 base salary.
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) with company contribution for U.S. employees or Group RRSP for Canadian employees.
  • PTO and company holidays.
  • Professional licensure and continuing-education support.
  • Stock ownership opportunity, subject to eligibility and vesting terms.
