Overview:

A leading electric utility company is seeking a Supervisor of Transmission Planning Engineering to lead long-range grid strategy and power system analysis in one of the country’s fastest-growing energy markets. This on-site leadership role is ideal for an experienced engineer ready to step into team management, with a strong foundation in transmission planning, power system modeling, and regulatory compliance. If you excel at translating complex studies into actionable plans and thrive in a collaborative, high-impact environment, this role offers both technical depth and a clear path for long-term leadership growth.

What you’ll do

• Lead and develop a team of engineers on transmission planning studies, case model maintenance, and compliance activities — ensuring work is technically sound, on schedule, and within budget
• Drive long-range strategic planning or NERC/FERC compliance analysis (EMT, interconnection, transmission service) depending on your assigned focus area
• Communicate study assumptions, risks, and results clearly to leadership, regulators, and internal stakeholders
• Hire, mentor, and grow a multi-discipline engineering team while coordinating across operations, regulatory, and program management

What we’re looking for

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related ABET-accredited discipline (Mechanical, Computer Science, Physics, Civil, and others considered)
• 5+ years of engineering experience, ideally in utility transmission planning, power system analysis, or a closely related field
• Strong understanding of power systems, reliability planning, and regulatory frameworks (NERC/FERC familiarity a plus)
• Demonstrated leadership, clear communication, and the ability to manage competing priorities across a technical team
