Transmission Manager

About the role

The energy transition is driving increased demand for reliable transmission infrastructure. RWE is looking for a Senior Transmission Engineer / Transmission Manager to support project development, risk assessment, and commercial decision-making for the Eastern Interconnection, focusing initially on MISO.

Responsibilities

• Support MISO-related project work, including interconnection application packages, deficiency responses, benchmarking models, consultant coordination, model review, and validation of study assumptions and results.
• Conduct or support Transmission Service Request studies related to NRIS needs, battery charging, deliverability, and other project-specific transmission service requirements.
• Perform steady-state power-flow analysis, contingency analysis, transfer capability studies, material modification analysis, and related technical assessments.
• Review and validate power-flow models, basecase assumptions, contingency definitions, monitored elements, dispatch assumptions, topology assumptions, and study outputs.
• Identify transmission risks, study issues, network upgrade drivers, deliverability constraints, curtailment exposure, and practical mitigation options.
• Support congestion and deliverability screening, including ILTTR, FTR, TSR, basis-risk, and other market-relevant transmission analyses where applicable.
• Develop, maintain, or support automation scripts and repeatable workflows for model processing, data analysis, quality checks, result validation, and reporting.
• Track ISO/RTO process changes, application requirements, study assumptions, tariff updates, stakeholder initiatives, and market rules relevant to interconnection, TSR, deliverability, and transmission planning.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.
• Approximately 2 to 6 years of relevant experience in power-system studies, transmission planning, interconnection studies, or related technical analysis.
• Familiarity with ISO/RTO interconnection processes, transmission planning studies, generator interconnection requirements, or transmission service concepts.
• Hands-on experience with steady-state power-flow analysis and contingency analysis.
• Experience using at least one major power-system analysis tool, such as TARA, PSS/E, Power World, ASPEN, or similar software.
• Ability to review technical study results, identify potential issues, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work in a fast-moving environment with changing ISO/RTO requirements, project deadlines, and business priorities.
• Willingness to improve existing processes rather than only execute routine tasks.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or PhD in power systems or a related technical field.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in one or more states.
• Experience with Python, SQL, VBA, or other programming tools used for automation, data analysis, model processing, or reporting.
• Interest in applying AI-assisted workflows, coding tools, and automation to improve study efficiency and reduce manual work.
• Previous working experience with ISOs and/or developers.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn new markets, tools, study methodologies, and ISO/RTO rules.
• Experience participating in ISO/RTO stakeholder processes, technical working groups, or grid code reform discussions.

Skills

• Strong steady-state power-flow analysis skills.
• Hands-on transmission or interconnection study experience.
• The ability to translate complex technical results into clear project and business implications.
• Ability to modernize how transmission analysis is performed.
• Experience with ISO/RTO interconnection processes, transmission planning studies, generator interconnection requirements, or transmission service concepts.
• Experience using at least one major power-system analysis tool, such as TARA, PSS/E, Power World, ASPEN, or similar software.
• Ability to review technical study results, identify potential issues, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work in a fast-moving environment with changing ISO/RTO requirements, project deadlines, and business priorities.
• Willingness to improve existing processes rather than only execute routine tasks.

Benefits

• Generous paid time off and a competitive parental leave policy.
• Opportunity to collaborate with international teams across time zones and markets.
• Inclusive culture that values technical expertise and teamwork.
• Opportunity to collaborate with diverse and multicultural teams across global markets while directly supporting clean energy growth and project success.
• Salary range: $120,000 - $180,000.
