Prepare clear technical reports, compliance documents, study summaries, and meeting notes.

Collaborate with G&T partners, internal teams, and external organizations to support coordinated transmission planning.

Contribute to transmission planning processes that support reliability, compliance, and long-term system needs.

What You'll Need

Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering or equivalent experience

Typically 0 to 3 years of power industry experience for entry-level placement.

Basic understanding of transmission planning, reliability standards, substation design, transmission line design, and protective relaying.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ability to work collaboratively in a professional office environment with occasional travel for meetings or cooperative-related work.

Preferred
