Strong technical expertise in transmission planning or generation interconnection studies is required, along with a clear understanding of what it means to lead. The role requires sound judgment, thoughtful communication, organizational leadership, and the ability to make difficult decisions while supporting and developing a team in a fast‑paced environment.
