- Collaborate with Transmission Owners, Interconnection Customers, and internal teams to validate assumptions, resolve data issues, and ensure study readiness
- Lead cross-functional coordination between engineering, modeling, and automation teams to maintain alignment on tools, methodologies, and workflows
- Identify and implement process improvements that enhance throughput, reduce cycle times, and improve customer experience
- Mentor and develop a high-performing technical team while fostering accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Economics, Business or related field
