About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead and manage the end-to-end interconnection process for Antora projects across MISO, SPP, ERCOT, and other RTOs/ISOs as needed, including application preparation, queue entry, and milestone tracking through each required study phase
Serve as Antora's primary technical point of contact with RTO/ISO interconnection staff, transmission owners, and utilities on study scope, assumptions, and results
Navigate the distinct interconnection rules, tariffs, cluster study cycles, and procedural requirements unique to each RTO/ISO, and translate those differences into practical guidance for internal teams
Track and manage financial postings, security deposits, milestone deliverables, and agreement obligations (e.g., GIA/LGIA/ISA) across the interconnection portfolio
Develop and maintain single-line diagrams (SLDs) for proposed interconnection configurations, from early feasibility concepts through formal application submittals
Run and/or critically review stability, dynamic, load flow, and short-circuit studies to evaluate system impacts of proposed interconnections and to stress-test third-party study results
Evaluate sizing and configuration options (e.g., point of interconnection, voltage level, equipment arrangement) to identify the optimal technical and commercial path for each project
Interpret utility and RTO study results (system impact studies, facilities studies, deliverability analyses) and translate findings into clear implications for cost, schedule, and project viability
Direct and manage external engineering consultants performing interconnection studies, modeling, and SLD development, ensuring technical rigor, schedule adherence, and cost discipline
Scope consultant engagements, review deliverables for quality and completeness, and hold vendors accountable to Antora's technical standards
Partner with site selection and project development teams to assess interconnection feasibility and technical risk before sites are committed, using hosting capacity data, prior study history, and engineering judgment
Identify and flag interconnection risks (e.g., restudy exposure, network upgrade cost drivers, deliverability constraints) early enough to influence site selection, project sequencing, and commercial terms
Build and maintain repeatable frameworks, checklists, and tools to standardize how Antora screens and de-risks new interconnection opportunities across RTOs
Work closely with the transmission strategy, project development, policy, and commercial teams to align interconnection execution with broader tariff and siting strategy
Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to non-technical internal stakeholders and senior leadership

Requirements

What you’ll need

8+ years of experience in power systems engineering, interconnection studies, or transmission planning, with direct experience managing interconnection applications through one or more RTOs/ISOs
Demonstrated experience developing single-line diagrams and running or critically reviewing load flow, short-circuit, stability, and dynamic studies
Working knowledge of commercial power system modeling tools (e.g., PSS/E, PSLF, PowerWorld, PSCAD, ASPEN, or equivalent)
Strong understanding of FERC, NERC, and RTO/ISO interconnection processes, tariffs, and cluster study frameworks, with direct experience in at least one of MISO, SPP, or ERCOT
Experience managing or directing external engineering consultants on technical deliverables
Proven ability to independently evaluate interconnection configuration and sizing tradeoffs and make sound technical recommendations under ambiguity
Experience interconnecting storage, generation, or large flexible loads, particularly co-located or hybrid configurations
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems focus) or related field
