Why join us?
You've got great skills. And you want to use them in an organization where you know what you do every day matters. We get that.
We also know that ensuring Ontarians have access to affordable and reliable power doesn't happen by accident. So we give you the tools, flexibility and support you need to achieve your goals, and development opportunities to help you grow. You'll thrive in a collaborative, team-based environment that values your unique skills and experiences - and recognizes that when you do better, we become even better too.
Who we are
The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) works at the centre of the province's power system, ensuring Ontarians have access to reliable and cost-effective electricity when and where they need it. We operate the province's electricity grid 24/7, design, run and oversee the wholesale electricity markets, and plan and prepare to meet Ontario's electricity needs - now and into the future.
The opportunity
Market Forecasts & Integration:
Develops the day-ahead operating plan for IESO's Control Room to reliably operate Ontario's electricity grid and energy market. This is done by integrating energy market and electricity grid system conditions, conducting power system studies to ensure we meet reliability criteria, approving and rejecting transmission and generation equipment outage requests, and communicating about the operating plan with IESO's Control Room and external stakeholders.
This is a promotion-in-place (PIP) affected role, candidates with lesser qualifications would be considered for a Power System Engineer-in-Training role.
The power system engineer conducts engineering studies, analysis and application of specialized technology in the field of power systems in support of real-time operations, operations planning or planning activities. Supply analytical and technical support for policies, operating agreements, equipment specifications, operational and outage plans and system investments. Conduct model development, studies and analysis that:
- contribute to the production of Operating Instructions (including System Control Orders and on-demand limits);
- support IESO security, adequacy and operability obligations found in the Market Rules and in applicable NERC and NPCC reliability standards;
- assess the impact on reliability and validate performance of new or modified facilities impacting the IESO-controlled-grid;
- develop and update models, data and security applications for existing, new or modified facilities;
- support online and off-line security model management (models, data, and security applications); and
- support the coordination with neighboring entities on NERC, NPCC and regional market in the area of reliability matters.
This position exists across multiple areas in Market and System Operations, with materially similar accountabilities and skill requirements. In addition to detailing common duties, this job document identifies area specific expectations that assist incumbents and managers in understanding specific expectations for that area.

Limit Derivation and Outage Integration Role:
Through technical studies, identify bounds of operations and define critical parameters in the power system for all time frames within the normal scope of coverage. Produce reports to support findings and recommendations. Through technical studies, identify power system operating limits and instructions in support of real-time, operations planning and long-term planning using appropriate study criteria within the normal, high-risk and emergency system conditions. As required, derive limits and operating instructions within the normal scope of coverage and for forced/planned outages in all time frames, including the provision of TTC/ATC to facilitate the energy markets, capacity/demand response auctions, and transmission rights markets. Issue and oversee the revision, maintenance and accuracy of operating limits to support reliability monitoring and security constrained economic dispatch (market) systems through applicable contingency analysis software and instructions used by off-shift and on-shift staff. Support real-time monitoring tools as they related to system and market operations.

Coordination between participants, neighbouring entities, or with the IESO maybe be required.
Assess Power System Change Role:
Undertake System Impact, Technical Feasibility and de-registration assessments to evaluate the reliability and operability impact of a new or modified connection, or a disconnection, on the integrated power system using applicable IESO, NERC and NPCC reliability standards. Prepare reports containing the results of the study, any required system upgrades and connection requirements, and a recommendation for the IESO to issue a notice of approval or disapproval for the new or modified connection. Validate registration data based on information initially submitted for assessment. Re-assess the proposed connection if the registration data differs materially from the configuration or technical parameters that were used by the IESO to approve the new or modified facility Provide support for regional and bulk power system planning, for preparation of evidence required by connection applicants to obtain the OEB's leave to construct and for inquiries from neighboring jurisdiction as they relate to connection assessments. Conduct technical studies to support the IESO's initiatives for evolving the policies related to the operations and evolution of the IESO-controlled grid and the IESO-administered markets.
