OverviewBuild and lead a specialized team delivering NERC compliance and technical advisory services to data center operators, large load entities, and transmission stakeholders navigating the evolving regulatory landscape. Responsibilities span team development, client engagement, product and service design, business development support, and cross-functional collaboration with EPE's marketing and BD teams.
ResponsibilitiesHow you can make an impact:- Build and lead a high-performing team of power systems engineers specializing in NERC large load compliance, stability analysis, and interconnection technical services - recruiting, developing, and retaining top engineering talent.
- Develop EPE's large load service portfolio - define, scope, and bring to market technical products and services that prepare data center and large load clients for emerging NERC standards and regulatory requirements, including those arising from NERC's Large Loads Action Plan.
- Serve as EPE's subject matter expert on NERC large load regulatory developments, monitoring evolving standards, FERC orders, and ISO/RTO requirements (including ERCOT and PJM) that affect large load interconnection and compliance obligations.
- Support business development and marketing by translating complex regulatory and technical topics into clear, compelling client-facing content - white papers, presentations, webinars, and proposals - that help existing and prospective clients understand what is coming from NERC and how EPE can help.
- Lead client engagements for large load interconnection and NERC compliance projects, serving as the senior technical point of contact and ensuring deliverables meet quality, schedule, and budget objectives.
- Develop and maintain technical study methodologies for large load stability assessments, dynamic load modeling, and NERC compliance studies, leveraging industry-standard platforms such as PSS/E, PSCAD, TSAT, and PSLF.
- Collaborate with EPE's NERC and Regulatory Compliance, Grid Analysis and Interconnection, and Transmission Planning and Operations practice areas to ensure integrated, cross-functional service delivery.
- Drive process improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance team efficiency, study quality, and scalability of service delivery as large load demand grows.
- Support RFP responses and scope of work development, clearly articulating EPE's technical approach, deliverables, and value proposition to large load and data center clients.
- Represent EPE at industry forums, NERC stakeholder processes, and client events to advance EPE's visibility and thought leadership in the large load space.
