Atwell is growing our Power & Energy team, and we are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to support our expanding Interconnection group. This is a strong opportunity to work on utility-scale solar, wind, BESS, substations, transmission, and other high-voltage power projects across the country.
In this role, you will support and lead a variety of interconnection and power system studies for renewable energy and grid infrastructure projects, while partnering closely with internal engineering teams and clients to deliver technically sound, high-quality solutions. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys deep technical work, client interaction, and contributing to the integration of inverter-based resources onto the grid.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead and support interconnection and power system studies for utility-scale renewable and high-voltage power projects
Perform and review studies in PSSE, PSCAD, PSLF, ASPEN, PowerWorld, ETAP, SKM, CYME, EMTP, or similar tools
Conduct a range of analyses including:
Load flow
Short circuit
Dynamic analysis
Transient studies
Renewable model tuning
Fault analysis
Voltage and frequency ride-through evaluations
Grid disturbance and system performance assessments
Develop, review, and refine power system and renewable plant models for interconnection applications
Support model validation, benchmarking, quality checks, and parameter tuning to align with utility, ISO/RTO, and regional performance requirements
Evaluate and support projects across solar, wind, BESS, substations, transmission, and distribution
Prepare and review technical deliverables including study reports, design criteria, specifications, study documentation, scopes of work, and other engineering packages
Participate in client meetings, technical discussions, occasional site visits, and field walkdowns
Support proposal efforts, technical approach development, and estimating for new project opportunities
Ensure studies and engineering deliverables align with applicable codes, standards, utility requirements, and internal quality expectations
Stay current with regulatory changes, grid codes, ISO/RTO requirements, and evolving standards related to interconnections and inverter-based resources
Contribute to the improvement of internal workflows, tools, and methods that help streamline studies, model checks, and engineering efficiency
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program
Strong experience supporting interconnection studies and power systems analysis
Experience with tools such as PSSE, PSCAD, PSLF, ASPEN, PowerWorld, ETAP, SKM, CYME, EMTP, or similar
Experience performing dynamic studies, model development, or renewable system analysis for high-voltage or utility-scale projects
Strong understanding of power system behavior, inverter-based resources, and grid interconnection requirements
Familiarity with ISO/RTO processes such as ERCOT, MISO, SPP, PJM, CAISO, or similar is a plus
Understanding of applicable standards such as NERC PRC/MOD, IEEE 2800,
