The electric utility industry is undergoing its most significant transformation in a century. Georgia System Operations Corporation (GSOC) is at the forefront of this evolution-integrating renewable energy capacity, managing datacenter growth, preparing for widespread EV adoption, and modernizing the grid with digital technologies. This creates extraordinary opportunities for engineers who want to help shape the future of energy delivery. This role sits at the intersection of traditional power system operations and cutting-edge data analytics, where your work directly contributes to enhancing grid reliability and economic performance for GSOC's 38 member cooperatives. You'll tackle complex challenges such as optimizing dispatch across diverse generation portfolios including solar, batteries and pumped storage, predicting and managing transmission constraints, and building the analytical frameworks needed to accommodate new datacenter loads and distributed energy resources. This role is responsible for: • Developing advanced grid optimization models including solar production forecasting, N-1 contingency analysis, transmission congestion prediction, and economic dispatch optimization across generation and storage resources • Creating operational intelligence platforms that provide visibility into grid performance, member load patterns, production costs, and system economics through automated reporting and data visualization • Building analytical frameworks for the evolving grid to accommodate high renewable penetration, large datacenter loads, and distributed energy resource integration • Collaborating across the organization with operations planning, operations engineering, transmission planning, member services, and regional entities while representing GSOC in industry committees and technology working groups Individuals in this role will gain comprehensive exposure to electric power system analysis, transmission modeling, generation optimization, interregional power flows, and industry coordination practices while working with state-of-the-art analytical tools and platforms. JOB DUTIES/ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: • Develop and maintain models for grid optimization including solar production forecasting, N-1 contingency analysis using full network power flow models, transmission congestion prediction, and pumped storage dispatch optimization • Coordinate with OPC to integrate generation assets with member-owned resources in dispatch optimization models • Create real-time visibility platforms for grid operations, member load patterns, production costs, and system economic performance • Develop automated reporting systems tracking operational KPIs, member cost allocation, and economic optimization results • Implement data visualization tools supporting both technical operations and executive decision making • Create automated single system dispatch optimization integrating fuel prices, generation and transmission constraints, and resource portfolios • Support DER integration through advanced analytics • Create modeling frameworks accommodating renewable penetration and large datacenter load growth • Collaborate with operations planning, operations engineering, transmission planning, and member services teams • Participating in industry working groups and technology committees • Support regulatory compliance and create technical documentation • Perform technical activities including operational model development/validation, steady-state load flow, stability, power quality, and other power system studies, as required, applicable to the operational planning horizon. Analysis will include the evaluation of scheduled transmission and generation outages, short-term transmission service, and seasonal transmission variations in support of reliable transmission system operations. • Develop presentations that support the Corporation regarding transmission interests for use with Senior Management and other utilities. • Assist in the development of goals and milestones for the GSOC Operations Planning Department. • Attend required training classes. Become familiar with the corporation's policies and procedures. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or related technical field with emphasis in power systems. Experience: • E-IV: Six years (four years with P.E. License) in Power Systems with at least three years in operational planning/utility operations/energy markets along with one year of data science project work. • E-V: Eight Years (six years with P.E. License) in Power Systems with at least four years in operational planning/utility operations/energy markets including two years in data science project work. • E-VI: Ten Years (eight years with P.E. License) in Power Systems with at least six years in operational planning/utility operations/energy markets including two years in data science project work along with demonstrated leadership experience. Equivalent Education & Experience: Master's degree in electrical engineering or related technical field and: • E-IV: Five years (three years with P.E. License) in Power Systems with at least three years in operational planning/utility operations/energy markets along with one year of data science project work • E-V: Seven Years (four years with P.E. License) in Power Systems with at least four years in operational planning/utility operations/energy markets including two years in data science project work. • E-VI: Nine Years (seven years with P.E. License) in Power Systems with at least six years in operational planning/utility operations/energy markets including two years in data science project work along with demonstrated leadership experience. Licenses, Certifications and/or Registrations: EIT, PE, & PMP are applicable but not required. Special Skills: Power Systems Knowledge • Understanding electric utility operations, power flow analysis, N-1 contingency analysis. • Experience with load forecasting, generation dispatch, resource adequacy planning. • Familiarity with utility data systems (SCADA, EMS, DMS) and power flow software (PSS/E, PSS/O, PowerWorld, or TARA). Technical Programming & Data Science • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Excel. • Experience with Databricks platform and PowerBI are a plus. Communication & Project Management • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences. • Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and coordinate cross-functional teams. • Experience translating complex analytical results into actionable business insights. • The performance of power system modeling and analysis in assigned areas using industry standard software. • The development and coordination of transmission solutions that promote system reliability and resiliency. • The development of technical reports, capital project scopes and justifications, and other procedural documentation. • Participation in industry committees and transmission planning collaboratives with other electric entities as assigned.
