  • 10–15+ years of electrical engineering experience, preferably in transmission/distribution consulting
  • Deep knowledge of transient stability, EMT, harmonics, power system modeling, and simulation software
  • Experience managing technical studies and scripting-based automation of simulation workflows
  • Proven track record of building client relationships and leading technical teams
  • Familiarity with industry tariffs, power system standards, and regulatory frameworks
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); ability to craft technical reports and presentations
  • Excellent interpersonal, delegation, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Additional Requirements:
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
  • Must successfully complete a background check and pre-employment/random drug tests
  • Must be willing to travel up to 25% across North America
  • Comfortable working across multiple time zones and supporting remote teams
Bonus Points for:
  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering 
  • Leadership experience managing engineering teams and business units
  • Experience launching or scaling new consulting service lines
  • Engineer-in-Training or P.E. license
  • Familiarity with techno-economic modeling and commercial strategy in power systems
  • Track record of publishing in technical journals or speaking at industry events
  • Knowledge of U.S. and Canadian power markets and grid interconnection processes
  • Experience with conflict-of-interest management and data security in consulting environments
