    Role & Responsibilities

    · Assessing current cost-effectiveness inputs and methodologies, aligning them with industry best practices and regulatory requirements. This may involve developing new features for benefits tests and revising cost-effectiveness model to quantify the impacts of different DER measures and programs. Additionally, you'll play a key role in enhancing the evaluation of DER values, providing training on new methodologies, and developing strategic implementation plans. Your strong analytical skills, combined with effective communication and problem-solving abilities, will be instrumental in delivering high-quality results within the project timeline and budget constraints. The team members and hiring manager would likely have frequent and substantive interactions with this role.

    · The role involves working closely with the Distributed Resource Planning (DRP) team, internal stakeholders, and potentially external partners to assess, refine, and implement methodologies related to distributed energy resource (DER) valuation and cost-effectiveness analysis. This collaboration would require regular communication to ensure alignment on objectives, methodologies, and outcomes. Additionally, the hiring manager would likely provide guidance, feedback, and support to ensure that the role effectively contributes to achieving strategic goals in the DER space. Overall, the interaction level with this role would be intensive and collaborative, reflecting the cross-functional nature of the initiatives and the importance of successful implementation for business objectives.

    · The biggest challenge in this role is likely to be the need to balance multiple priorities and stakeholders' expectations effectively. Given the complex nature of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the evolving regulatory landscape, the worker must navigate various internal and external factors while enhancing the engineering and technical rigor applied to planning and valuing the Flex Load resource. This involves conducting thorough assessments of current cost-effectiveness inputs and methodologies, as well as revising and applying the cost-effectiveness model to quantify the impacts of various DER measures, programs, and portfolios. Additionally, the worker will need to collaborate closely with stakeholders to ensure alignment and consensus on new methodologies, while also managing training, feedback, and strategic implementation plans to integrate these methodologies into decision-making processes effectively. Striking the right balance between technical rigor, stakeholder engagement, and strategic alignment will be crucial for success in this role.

    · Analytical and Communication Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills are crucial for assessing cost-effectiveness inputs and methodologies, as well as enhancing DER value assessment practices.

    · Additionally, must have the ability to communicate complex concepts effectively to diverse stakeholders, both internally and externally, to facilitate collaboration and alignment on new methodologies and strategic implementation plans.

    · Advanced Degree in Relevant Field: While a bachelor's degree is required, an advanced degree (such as a master's or higher) in Engineering, Economics, Environmental Science, or a related field would be advantageous. Advanced education can provide deeper insights and expertise in DER valuation, cost-effectiveness analysis, and utility sector dynamics.

    Project Management Skills: Strong project management skills would enhance the worker's ability to manage multiple initiatives, collaborate with stakeholders, and drive projects to successful completion.
