Junior Power System Studies Engineer

Looking to build your career with us? BBA is looking to expand our team in Toronto! This is an entry-level technical position within our Power System Department. The position includes performing feasibility studies, interconnection studies, transient studies and systems analysis investigations for clients in North America. With us you’ll get the opportunity to: EMT Studies (Core Focus): Perform advanced EMT studies for IBR grid integration. Develop, tune, and validate PSCAD/EMTDC models; perform PSCAD/PSSE benchmarking for model validation. Model and fine-tune inverter-based resources (wind, solar, BESS), including their control systems. Develop automation scripts (Python, MATLAB or similar) to improve simulation efficiency, accuracy, and workflow scalability. Broader Power Systems Analysis: Perform power systems studies including load flow, short-circuit, transient stability, small-signal stability, and reliability analysis. Conduct compliance assessments (NERC, AESO, IESO, ERCOT, and other ISO/RTO requirements) for IBR facilities. Stay current with evolving industry standards: IEEE, NERC, CIGRE, and relevant grid codes. Client Delivery Business Development: Produce, review, and present high-quality technical reports and study deliverables to clients and utilities. Participate in technical discussions with clients, developers, and interconnecting utilities to define study scope and communicate findings. Maintain close coordination with other BBA groups and practices to support cross-functional delivery and business development opportunities. Contribute to internal R D, new analytical tools, and emerging methodologies in IBR and EMT simulation.
