Job description

San Antonio, TX (Hybrid, Open to Relocation)

A fast-growing, Texas-based utility-scale solar and battery storage developer is seeking a Senior Transmission Planning Manager to lead a merged interconnection and transmission planning function supporting a rapidly expanding project pipeline across ERCOT and MISO, including a 600MW+ solar project currently moving toward construction.

This is a newly created role born out of genuine growth, with a clear runway toward a Director-level position for the right candidate. Every project in the pipeline runs through this team, giving you visibility and influence across the full development lifecycle and a meaningful, project-based bonus structure tied to that impact.

What you'll do

• Manage, track, and support the full project portfolio across all lifecycle phases, coordinating with TSPs, ISOs, internal teams, and consultants
• Conduct and supervise power flow modeling, interconnection analyses, economic assessments, and utility coordination
• Supervise transmission analysis to evaluate constraints, congestion, curtailment risk, and basis risk
• Lead review and negotiation of interconnection agreements, including technical exhibits and commercial terms
• Oversee preliminary design and development of single-line diagrams for interconnections
• Develop and track schedules and milestones alongside the broader project development team
• Monitor engineering, procurement, and construction of interconnection facilities, leading related coordination calls
• Represent the organization at ISO meetings, briefing leadership on developments affecting the pipeline
• Support ISO, NERC, and FERC compliance efforts

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (power systems focus preferred)
• 5+ years of experience in transmission planning, market analysis, or a related area within the power industry
• 3+ years of hands‑on experience with PowerWorld, PSSE, PLEXOS, TARA, or similar power flow/PCM software
• Familiarity with ERCOT and MISO interconnection processes strongly preferred; strong candidates from other ISOs will still be considered
• A self-starter mentality with the confidence to figure things out and move fast
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Why this role

• A newly created position with a clear, genuine path to Director as the team and pipeline grow
• Meaningful bonus upside tied to project deliver historically worth $50,000+ annually on top of base salary
• Touch every project in the pipeline, giving you outsized visibility with senior leadership
• A close-knit, high-energy, entrepreneurial culture that values communication and collaboration as much as technical skill
• Competitive benefits package including health/dental/vision coverage, 401(k) matching, and PTO
