    Specifically, the DER consultant will leverage Excel for enhancing Cost Effectiveness evaluations and utilize Word and PowerPoint for crafting a measure development playbook to aid product development throughout its lifecycle.

    The remaining three team members focus on supporting equity lens assessments, mapping exercises, and financial analyses.
    ​Your primary focus will be enhancing the engineering and technical rigor applied to valuing the aggregate Flex Load resource within PGE's Distributed Resource Planning (DRP) team. You will contribute to refining and implementing cost-effectiveness methodologies, utilizing your expertise in DER modeling and conducting thorough cost-benefit analyses.

    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 PGE's business objectives.

    ​In the initial weeks and months, the top priority for the worker would be to immerse themselves in understanding PGE's current processes and methodologies related to distributed energy resources (DERs), particularly focusing on cost-effectiveness analysis and valuation.

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 PGE's decision-making processes effectively
