Job description

A well-established, Texas-based TSP is seeking a Senior Transmission Planning Engineer to join a small, high-impact planning team supporting reliability and compliance across its ERCOT-region transmission network.

This is a genuinely hands-on role, you'll own planning studies end-to-end, engage directly with ERCOT and neighboring utilities, and see your recommendations shape real capital investment decisions.

Unlike larger utilities where transmission planning is split across five or six specialized teams, here you'll work across the full breadth of the discipline; steady-state, interconnection, and stability studies, giving you genuine ownership and faster development.

What the Senior Transmission Planning Engineer will do

• Lead planning studies for new interconnection requests and capital investment decisions
• Engage directly with ERCOT and neighboring TSPs on system conditions and planning assessments
• Conduct steady-state, short circuit, and stability studies supporting the Annual Planning Assessment
• Provide engineering expertise to support transmission system reliability across a portfolio of concurrent projects

What you'll bring

• Transmission planning experience at a utility, TSP, or ISO (ERCOT experience strongly preferred; PJM, MISO, or CAISO experience also welcomed)
• Experience with power system software including PSS/E
• Working knowledge of current NERC, FERC, and ERCOT standards
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• Strong communication skills and the ability to prioritize across multiple concurrent studies and projects

Why this role

• Direct, hands-on ownership of planning studies that inform real capital investment decisions
• Regular engagement with ERCOT and neighboring TSPs at a technical and stakeholder level
• Reporting line to the Transmission Planning Director, with visibility into compliance and reliability priorities
• Genuine work-life balance: core office hours just 9am–2pm on in-office days, standard 40-hour week
• Broad technical exposure across the full planning discipline, accelerating your development
• Competitive benefits package including health/dental/vision coverage, 401(k) matching, and PTO
