Description As a Senior Engineer - Intermediate Planning, you'll help MISO bridge the critical space between long-term transmission planning and real-time operations. Your work will focus on the 18-24-month planning horizon, developing transmission and reliability strategies that support Large Load Step-Up Service while helping ensure the grid is prepared for rapidly changing system needs. This is a highly collaborative role where you'll work across System Planning, Markets, Operations, Resource Adequacy, Generator Interconnection, and Load Integration to turn complex technical studies and system information into practical, coordinated solutions. How You'll Make an Impact In this role, you will: Perform Intermediate Planning studies across the 18-24-month horizon, including Firm Service Step-Up analyses and staged firm-service recommendations tied to system upgrades and readiness milestones. Conduct power system studies using tools such as PSS/E and TARA, including power flow modeling, contingency analysis, transfer analysis, transient and voltage stability, and other reliability assessments. Develop near-term strategies that maximize the capabilities of the existing transmission system while maintaining reliable grid performance. Coordinate study scope, assumptions, inputs, and results across Expansion Planning, Generator Interconnection, Load Integration, Markets, Forward Operations, Operations, and Resource Adequacy. Improve the flow of data and information between teams, creating greater transparency and supporting timely, well-informed decisions.
