This includes forecasting electricity demand, acquiring new energy resources, and integrating renewable energy and emerging technologies into the grid. The organization works with a wide range of stakeholders, including utilities, energy companies, municipalities, and Indigenous communities, to support a reliable, sustainable, and affordable electricity system. The IESO is headquartered in Toronto and plays a key role in shaping Ontario's energy future.

  • Performing load flow, short-circuit, transient stability, and contingency analyses using industry-standard simulation tools.
  • Coordinate protection settings, equipment sizing, and ensure compliance with NERC, NPCC, and Ontario grid codes.
  • Preparing technical reports and collaborating closely with operations, planning, market teams, and external stakeholders.
  • Contributes to ensuring the reliability and security of Ontario's electricity system through detailed simulation and analysis.

Qualifications and Skills Required

  • A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
  • Around 4 to 6 years of professional experience in power system analysis, modeling, and simulation.
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard power system simulation software such as PSS/E, ETAP, PSCAD, or DIgSILENT.
  • Experience conducting studies like load flow, short-circuit, transient stability, protection coordination, and contingency analysis.
  • Knowledge of North American electric grid standards, including NERC and NPCC reliability criteria.
  • Familiarity with Ontario's electricity market and grid operations is considered an asset.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills to produce reports and collaborate with multiple teams.

  • Tackle complex, high-impact projects shaping Ontario's future power landscape.
  • Influence rule changes, market design evolution, and wholesale operations.
  • Engage directly with regulators, stakeholders, and IESO leadership.
  • Enjoy a collaborative, mission-driven environment with hybrid work flexibility
