Senior Engineer, Transmission System Planning (Hybrid)
Eversource Energy
1 day ago – Be among the first 25 applicants.
Overview We seek a highly experienced Senior Engineer to conduct system studies of electric transmission system planning related to clean energy and large load integration, familiar with technical studies (load flows, stability studies, transient network, short circuit analysis, and Electromagnetic Transient Analysis (EMT)) to support clean energy and large load interconnections. You will lead technical studies for the interconnection of large‑scale Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Data Centers to the transmission and distribution grid, ensuring reliable, safe, and efficient integration.
This is a hybrid position. The first 3 months are in the office.
Eversource will not offer immigration‑related sponsorship for this position. Applicants who require immigration sponsorship—either now or in the future—should not apply.
Essential Functions
Perform large‑scale integration studies (DER, Data Centers, and more) across CT, MA, and NH.
Conduct and manage comprehensive power system impact studies (Feasibility, System Impact Studies) for utility‑scale DER projects (Solar PV, Wind, BESS) and large Data Center interconnections (tens to hundreds of MW).
Responsible for detailed analysis using industry‑standard tools (PSS®E, PSCAD, TARA, Synergi) including:
Validate inverter models to meet industry standards.
Steady‑state analysis (Power Flow, Short Circuit, Voltage Stability, Thermal Loading).
Dynamic analysis (Transient Stability, Voltage Ride‑Through, Frequency Response).
Electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies for inverter‑based resources and complex interactions.
Model and analyze the behavior and grid impact of inverter‑based resources (solar, wind, BESS), including compliance with modern grid codes (IEEE 1547, ISO‑NE PP5‑6, IEEE 2800, UL 1741 SB, etc.). Participate with other utilities and the planning staff of the Independent System Operator (ISO) in regional transmission expansion studies.
Identify potential grid issues and develop technically sound and cost‑effective mitigation solutions (e.g., upgrades, FACTS devices, control settings).
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for utilities (ISOs, Transmission Owners, Distribution Utilities) throughout the interconnection process.
Prepare clear, concise, and comprehensive technical reports, study results, and presentations for internal stakeholders and external clients/utilities.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and contribute to developing internal study methodologies, standards, and tools.
Maintain deep understanding of interconnection procedures (FERC, NERC, state‑specific), technical standards (NERC PRC, TPL, IEEE), and evolving grid requirements.
Technical Knowledge / Skills
Power systems analysis skill and experience.
Experience with interconnection applications for large industrial loads beyond Data Centers.
Experience with TARA, PSSE, PSCAD.
Experience scripting for automation (Python) within power system analysis tools.
Technical understanding of the operation of the power delivery system and power system theory.
Skill in working cross‑functionally.
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
Advanced degree preferred.
Experience
Minimum of 5 years power system engineering experience.
Professional Engineer’s license preferred.
Working Conditions
Work location options: MA, NH, or CT (flexible).
Must be available for emergency restoration assignments as required.
Must be available to travel between MA/CT/NH as necessary.
Competencies
Build trusting relationships.
Manage and develop people.
Foster teamwork and cross‑functional collaboration.
Lead change.
Communicate strategic vision.
Create an engaged workforce.
Focus on the customer.
Take ownership & accountability.
Compensation and Benefits Eversource offers a competitive total rewards program. Salary is commensurate with your experience and this position is eligible for a potential incentive. Annual salary range: $125,680.00 – $139,640.00.
Worker Type Regular
Number of Openings 1
Emergency Response Responding to emergency situations to meet customers’ needs is part of every employee’s role. If employed, you will be given an Emergency Restoration assignment, which may involve assistance outside of normal responsibilities, work hours, and location.
EEO Statement Eversource Energy is an Equal Opportunity and Affiantive Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, disability status, or protected veteran status.
