TRANSMISSION & INTERCONNECTION MANAGER/SR. MANAGER

The Organization

Grid United is a mission driven company aiming to solve the largest barrier to a cleaner grid by developing new long haul transmission lines in the United States. Established earlier this year by proven leaders in the power and renewables industry, Grid United is developing utility-scale electric multi-state transmission projects that will provide long-term economic benefits to communities across the country, provide Americans with improved grid resiliency for our homes and businesses, and cost savings for electricity consumers.

The Position

The Transmission & Interconnection Manager will support the development of greenfield transmission projects by performing power flow and related planning analyses to evaluate system needs, constraints, and solution options. This role will play a key part in supporting the transmission planning and interconnection process, providing technical analyses that inform project feasibility, interconnection strategy, and early-stage development decisions. This role is open to candidates based in Houston, TX or remote and reports to the Senior Director of Transmission Strategy.

Responsibilities

• Lead and perform internal transmission planning studies, including power flow, contingency (N-1 and N-1-1), short circuit, and voltage/reactive analyses, to screen potential points of interconnection and inform project feasibility and design.

• Develop and maintain study cases and transmission system models across the portfolio, ensuring load, generation, and planned upgrade assumptions are current and consistent with ISO/RTO and utility base cases.

• Prepare, file, and manage interconnection and transmission service requests, including application packages, technical data, site control documentation, deposits, and required study agreements.

• Own the portfolio interconnection tracker, including milestones, readiness requirements, payment forecasts, financial security postings, decision points, and queue timeline slippage, with regular updates to the development team and leadership.

• Serve as a primary technical point of contact with transmission owners, utilities, and ISO/RTO interconnection staff; lead scoping meetings and study review calls, and negotiate study assumptions, results, and mitigation.

• Review and diagnose ISO/RTO and utility interconnection study results (feasibility, system impact, facilities, and cluster studies), independently validate findings, and test and propose alternative transmission mitigations to reduce cost and schedule risk.

• Evaluate network upgrade cost allocation, affected system impacts, and restudy risk, and recommend queue strategy decisions to proceed, modify, suspend, or withdraw requests.

• Support negotiation and execution of interconnection agreements, facilities study agreements, and related contracts, working with Legal and Commercial on technical, cost, and milestone provisions.

• Interpret and apply ISO/RTO tariffs, business practice manuals, planning criteria, and FERC interconnection requirements, and track tariff and process reforms that could impact the company's development portfolio.

• Coordinate with HVDC Engineering specialists to develop and validate models necessary for interconnection analysis.

• Structure, procure, and manage consultants performing interconnection and planning studies, including review of deliverables for quality and accuracy.

• Actively participate in RTO stakeholder meetings, planning working groups, and industry forums, and represent Grid United's positions on interconnection and planning matters.

• Provide technical input to Development, Engineering, and Commercial teams on routing, sizing, point of interconnection selection, cost estimates, and due diligence on potential acquisition targets.

• Mentor and review the work of Transmission & Interconnection Engineers, and establish study standards and documentation practices for the team.

Desired Experience and Skills

• BS in Electrical Engineering from an ABET accredited university with an emphasis on Power Systems is required

• 5+ years of experience in transmission planning, interconnection, or transmission service, including direct experience filing and managing interconnection requests at a developer, utility, ISO/RTO, or consultancy

• Hands-on proficiency with at least one of the common grid analytics tools like PSS/E, PSLF, Powergem TARA, or PowerWorld Simulator; familiarity with production cost tools such as PROMOD, GridView, or PLEXOS is a plus

• Working knowledge of generator and load interconnection processes, cluster studies, and ISO/RTO tariffs across multiple regions (e.g., MISO, SPP, PJM, ERCOT, and the non-RTO West)

• Demonstrated ability to build productive working relationships with utility and ISO/RTO staff and to represent an organization in technical discussions and negotiations

• Familiarity with NERC reliability standards, regional planning criteria, and state and federal regulatory frameworks applicable to electric power systems

• Planning level knowledge of HVDC technology and systems, substation configurations, transmission line design and ratings, and cost estimates

• Experience managing consultants and external study vendors, including scope, budget, and deliverable review

• Highly organized, with the ability to track many concurrent requests, deadlines, and financial commitments with precision

• Commercially minded, creative individual with the willingness and flexibility to work in a fast-paced work environment with constantly shifting priorities

• Self-starter willing to persevere with solving the problem at hand under ambiguity and often no readily available data

• Strong communication skills with the ability to challenge assumptions and translate complex technical findings into business recommendations

• Prior supervisory or mentoring experience preferred

• MS in Electrical Engineering or MBA preferred; PE license a plus

• Ability to travel up to 30%

What the Right Candidate Will Love about this Opportunity

• An organization dedicated to solving the ever-changing Rubik’s cube of high voltage transmission development in a fast paced, dynamic and innovative culture

• Working with a core group of dedicated and thoughtful colleagues.

• Working on a day-to-day basis with highly experienced and proven industry leaders

• Being empowered to play a leading role in delivering a large-scale project that will materially change the energy future of America

• Working in an organization committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and having a positive social impact

• Excellent financial backing from leading energy investor with long term commitment, passion for energy, and an understanding and appetite to tackle the challenges of transmission development
