About the role

Acre is recruiting, on behalf of a leading U.S. power-sector organization, a Senior Engineer, Generator Interconnection. The role involves performing and managing power system studies that assess how new generation resources connect to the transmission system, supporting system reliability and the evolution of the electricity network. It combines hands-on power system analysis, technical problem solving, project ownership and stakeholder engagement.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and perform system impact studies for generator interconnection requests, evaluating how proposed generation projects affect transmission reliability and identifying constraints or required network upgrades.
• Evaluate proposed transmission projects and give technical recommendations based on power system analysis and reliability requirements.
• Serve as technical subject matter expert, sharing study findings, requirements and project details with interconnection customers, transmission owners, neighboring grid operators and internal teams.
• Coordinate complex technical assignments so studies progress efficiently and deliver clear, actionable results.
• Depending on assignments, lead system impact studies from kickoff through completion, coordinating technical work and keeping stakeholders aligned.

• Preferred: experience in power system planning, transmission planning or power system operations.
• Preferred: previous experience in the electric utility, power generation, transmission or broader energy industry.
• Preferred: experience conducting power flow studies, system impact studies or other transmission system assessments.

Required skills

• Hands-on experience with power system modeling and analysis tools such as PSS^®E, MUST, TARA, TSAT or VSAT.
• Experience with the listed software is beneficial; candidates with relevant power systems study experience using other tools should still apply.

The work location may be across several U.S. states and will be discussed during recruitment; the posting is open to hybrid arrangements.
