Technical Business Development Strategist – Transmission Planning

We are designing the grid of the future!

As a Technical Business Development Strategist – Transmission Planning
, you will bridge deep transmission planning and power systems expertise with market strategy and business development to help EPE identify, shape, and pursue meaningful opportunities with utilities, transmission owners, and ISO/RTOs.

This is not a traditional sales role. You will bring first‑hand technical and industry experience to understand the challenges transmission organizations face, identify where EPE can provide value, and engage utility and ISO/RTO leaders as a credible technical partner. You will work closely with EPE’s Transmission Planning leadership and Business Development team to evaluate markets, research clients, identify the right stakeholders, develop targeted account strategies, and translate technical and regulatory challenges into actionable opportunities and scopes of work.

You will stay connected to evolving engineering practices and industry developments while building relationships with transmission planning engineers, managers, directors, executives, and other key industry stakeholders. Success in this role means helping EPE pursue the right clients, with the right services, at the right time, for the right reasons.
