Build Technologies - Expert - Grid & Energy Systems
Requirements
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in transmission planning, power systems engineering, or utility systems — at a TSO, ISO, or large utility • The ability to explain why a decision is correct, not just produce it — trade-offs, constraints, physical limits • Clear, direct written communication. Our workflows are asynchronous and our clients move fast. • Comfort working with AI-generated outputs and improving them — not just reviewing from a distance • Preference for flexible, contract-based engagements over traditional employment • Fully remote, contract-based • Engagements vary in scope and duration — some short-term, some ongoing retainers • Hourly rate: $75–$200 depending on experience and scope. Exceptional expertise goes higher. • Ongoing collaborations structured as monthly retainers where volume justifies it • Assessment: CV review and a paid work sample if there's a fit
Responsibilities
• Review and validate AI-generated energy systems work — contingency assessments, power flow studies, interconnection analysis, capacity planning • Apply practitioner judgment to real client problems: what's physically feasible, what the trade-offs are, and where the AI got it wrong • Collaborate with Build's engineering and domain teams to improve workflow accuracy and output quality over time • Produce operational analyses, planning scenarios, and written assessments where needed • Help articulate what "correct" looks like — the assumptions, constraints, and engineering realities that aren't in any textbook • Build's grid and energy engagements span the full stack of what institutional infrastructure clients need: • Grid planning and optimization — OPF, N-1/N-2 contingency screening, load flow studies, renewable integration • Power availability and interconnection — site-level power assessment, grid connection feasibility, capacity analysis • Data and process workflows — historian data, compliance documentation, audit trail interpretation • Regulatory and standards environments — NERC CIP, TSO/ISO operating frameworks, utility compliance • Tools our clients and workflows operate around include PSS/E, PowerWorld, MATPOWER, and OpenDSS. You don't need to know all of them — but you should be comfortable with the environments they represent.
