Electrical Engineer, Power Systems Analysis
Overview:
In this role, you lead power-system analyses for grid-connected and islanded generation projects, ensuring reliability and performance. You'll work within AECOM's Energy practice to deliver advanced studies and design input for large-scale projects, including innovative renewables and nuclear initiatives. You'll collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to integrate study outcomes into design packages while supporting field activities. This position offers remote or multiple office locations and an opportunity to shape critical infrastructure on a global scale.
