Senior Interconnection Engineer Jobs Near Me

You'll own a piece of what you build. Nexus is employee-owned through our ESOP, so the value you help create comes back to you - not just outside shareholders. We give senior engineers real ownership of the work and a voice in how it's done.

What you can expect:

• Employee ownership (ESOP) - build equity in the firm as it grows
• Ownership of high-impact studies for industrial clients
• A senior seat - shape methodology, mentor engineers, and work directly with clients
• Full-service EPCm exposure, from concept through startup, across a diverse client base
• A clear path toward lead, principal, and discipline leadership
• Flexible work arrangements where business needs allow

• Lead and own power system studies end-to-end - scoping, modeling, analysis, quality control, and the final client-ready report.
• Build and validate models in ETAP, EasyPower, or SKM Power*Tools, as the study requires.
• Perform the full range of studies: load flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device and relay coordination.
• Additional studies as required include dynamic and/or static motor-starting, harmonics, ground grid analysis, transient stability, and lightning analysis.
• Create and analyze relay setting files and coordinate protection schemes.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for clients - scoping work, gathering data, and presenting findings and recommendations.
• Review and QC studies produced by junior engineers, and mentor them on modeling, analysis, and standards.
• Help develop and maintain Nexus's study templates, methodology, and quality standards.
• Travel occasionally (2-3 times per year, up to a week) to client facilities to gather field data alongside other Nexus personnel.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
• 8+ years of experience performing power system studies for industrial clients.
• Advanced, hands-on proficiency in ETAP, EasyPower or SKM including building and validating models to complete studies.
• Deep command of the core study types - load flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device and relay coordination, motor-starting, and harmonics - and the calculation methods behind them.
• Proven ability to own studies independently, from scoping through client-ready deliverables.
• Working knowledge of applicable standards, such as IEEE 1584, IEEE 3000 Series (formerly Color Books), and NFPA 70 & 70E.
• Strong written communication and reporting skills, plus working proficiency in Excel and the Microsoft Office suite.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or active progress toward licensure.
• Experience with additional analysis tools such as PSSE, PSCAD, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Cyme, Aspen Oneliner or EMTP.
• Transient stability, dynamic, or utility interconnection study experience.
• Master's degree in Power Systems, Electric Power, or Energy Systems.
• Experience mentoring engineers and supporting proposals and estimating.

This position primarily involves office-based (hybrid) engineering and analysis work. This role may require:

• Occasional travel, typically 2-3 times per year, up to about a week per trip
• Visits to client facilities to gather field data alongside other Nexus personnel
• The ability to work in industrial or utility environments, wearing appropriate PPE, when required
