About this Position

The role will support operating utility-scale power generation projects with compliance work, primarily involving NERC processes and regulatory requirements. Its baseline focus is NERC compliance, with exposure to ISOs/RTOs and PUC regulations. The position is intended for an analyst who can develop in the role and contribute to operating assets, including projects such as Easley and Darden. The role is expected to begin with a limited project assignment and expand as the individual gains experience. The person will help identify how activities at operating sites affect regulatory obligations and will contribute to responses to regulator requests for information.

Role and responsibilities

Support operating projects with NERC processes and other compliance tasks; help curate responses to regulators' requests for information; stay apprised of site activities; and assess whether activities create regulatory compliance impacts, obligations, or process requirements. The role will also involve understanding the regulatory requirements that apply during project operations and completing compliance work needed before projects move into operations.

The role will initially support 2 or 3 sites before widening its scope. Current work is focused on assets in operations, while exposure to project onboarding includes the transition from construction to operations.
