Role Description

This full-time remote Study Engineer – Power Systems role focuses on conducting technical analyses, simulations, and studies related to electrical power systems. The Study Engineer will perform power flow, short-circuit, contingency, transfer, and stability studies, including transient, small-signal, voltage, and frequency stability assessments.

Daily responsibilities include developing and validating power system models, conducting technical simulations using industry-standard software, preparing detailed study reports, documenting assumptions and methodologies, and communicating findings clearly to clients and project stakeholders.

The role will also involve supporting generation and renewable resource modeling, transmission planning, system upgrade and mitigation strategies, grid integration assessments, regulatory compliance studies, and the development and improvement of power system study methodologies.

The Study Engineer will collaborate with experienced technical teams, contribute to proposal and RFP development, support software development and testing activities, and remain current with applicable reliability standards, industry practices, and emerging power system technologies.
