Description
Ready to make a difference?
We are a relentlessly client-focused group re-imagining, re-designing, and re-engineering the way electric utilities tackle industry problems. Our transmission planning team delivers technically rigorous power system studies and strategic planning support to utilities, developers, and grid operators navigating one of the most dynamic periods in the history of the electric grid — from large-scale renewable interconnection and large load growth to FERC-driven transmission reform. We are seeking an experienced senior engineer ready to own complex engagements, lead a team, and shape the direction of our practice.
Why you will love working here:
Quality of life: Flexible workplace arrangements, work-life balance
Investment in the community: Donation matching, volunteer opportunities
Investment in you: Tuition reimbursement, access to professional development resources, 401k matching, Employee Stock Purchase Plan
And many, many more (Ask your recruiter for more details!)
The Ideal Candidate
You are a technically deep transmission planning engineer with a track record of leading complex, multi-discipline power system studies from kickoff through final deliverable. You take ownership of your work and your clients. You move fluidly between steady-state contingency analysis, transient stability, interconnection processes, and long-range buildout assessments without losing the thread. You write clearly, communicate confidently with utility decision-makers, and actively develop the engineers around you. You bring solutions, not just analyses, and you are motivated by the challenge of a grid that is changing fast.
What you will be doing:
Daily and weekly responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Serve as technical lead or study manager on transmission planning engagements, owning scope, schedule, quality, and client relationship
Perform steady-state load flow and contingency analysis (PSS/E, PSLF, PowerWorld) for utility transmission planning and interconnection studies
Conduct transient stability and dynamic simulation studies, including modeling of conventional generation and inverter-based resources (IBR)
Lead generation and large load interconnection impact studies, including feasibility, facilities, and cluster/serial study processes across CAISO, MISO, PJM, ERCOT, WECC, and other regional footprints
Develop and assess long-range transmission expansion plans evaluating load growth scenarios, generation retirement, renewable buildout, and infrastructure needs
Support FERC Order 1920 proactive transmission planning and Order 2023 interconnection reform compliance work for utility clients
Perform NERC reliability standards studies and assessments including TPL-001, FAC-001/002, TOP-001, and MOD series standards
Author and QA technical study reports for regulatory filings, client deliverables, and interconnection submissions
Develop Python-based automation and tooling to improve study execution efficiency, model management, and output quality
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through technical review, guidance, and day-to-day collaboration
Participate in business development through proposal writing, scope development, client presentations, and identification of new opportunities
Monitor evolving FERC policy, regional planning standards, and grid technology trends to inform client strategy and internal capability development
What we need you to have (minimum qualifications):
BS in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university
5+ years of experience in transmission planning, power system studies, or related electrical engineering
What we would like you to have:
Hands-on experience with PSS/E, PSLF, or equivalent transmission planning software
Demonstrated experience leading or managing technical study engagements as primary point of contact
EIT or PE registration, or active pursuit of licensure
Deep familiarity with regional ISOs/RTOs — including CAISO, MISO, PJM, ERCOT, WECC, SERC, NYISO, NEISO, and/or SPP — and their interconnection processes and planning criteria
Experience with IBR and BESS dynamic modeling under NERC MOD-026/027/031/032/033
Familiarity with long-range transmission expansion planning methodologies and scenario-based planning frameworks
Experience with large load interconnection studies for data center, hyperscaler, industrial, or other high-demand customers
Proficiency in Python for power system study automation, model management, and data workflows
Short circuit analysis experience using ASPEN, CAPE, or ETAP
Familiarity with electromagnetic transient software (PSCAD, EMTP) as a supplemental capability
Strong technical report writing skills; ability to communicate complex results clearly to non-engineering audiences and utility executives
Experience contributing to business development proposals and client scoping discussions

Tips for Your Remote Transmission Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote transmission engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly without sorting through mixed location listings.
Show your async communication skills upfront
Remote transmission engineering teams rely on written handoffs and documented decisions. In your application materials, highlight experience writing technical memos, study reports, or interconnection analyses that others acted on without a meeting.
Demonstrate independent modeling project work
Remote employers need confidence you can run load flow, stability, or short-circuit studies without in-person oversight. Reference specific PSS/E, PSCAD, or PowerWorld models you built or validated independently, and name the project outcomes they supported.
Target distributed team structures in your search
Filter for renewable energy developers, independent system operator contractors, and grid consulting firms with engineers in multiple states. These organizations already operate remotely by necessity and are more likely to have established remote workflows for transmission engineers.
Remote Transmission Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote transmission engineer job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams, such as independent power producers, renewable energy developers, and grid consulting firms that operate across multiple regions without a central office. Remote employers screen for self-direction, clear written communication, and proficiency with power systems modeling tools like PSS/E or PowerWorld. Candidates who can document independent project work and show comfort with async collaboration tools stand out in remote hiring.
Which companies hire remote transmission engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote transmission engineers include WSP, Electrical Consultants, and Qualus, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Remote-first firms, distributed grid consulting practices, and renewable energy developers are among the most consistent sources of remote openings for this role.
Can you get a remote transmission engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level transmission engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without on-site mentorship. Renewable energy startups and grid software companies occasionally hire entry-level engineers remotely. A strong academic project portfolio, familiarity with industry modeling software, and demonstrated ability to communicate technical work in writing can substitute for direct work history.
Do you need a degree for remote transmission engineer jobs?
Usually, but not always in the strictest sense. Most remote employers expect a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field, and many require a Professional Engineer license for senior roles. Candidates who lack a traditional degree but hold relevant certifications, demonstrate hands-on power systems modeling experience, and show a record of completed transmission projects can still compete for some positions.
Which industries hire the most remote transmission engineers?
Remote transmission engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Energy, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors hire transmission engineers remotely because their project teams are geographically distributed across regional grids and interconnection zones.
