Analyst, Engineering, Energy Engineer

We are seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented energy professional to lead capacity expansion and production cost modeling efforts aimed at developing comprehensive plans for obtaining or adding new capacity and energy resources in the most cost-effective manner. This role operates within established resource planning and acquisition rules that govern system expansion and the addition of new generation and/or purchased power resources.

The position plays a critical role in modeling various capacity expansion portfolios using generation bids from the 2026 Just Transition Solicitation, while also supporting a broader range of generation resource planning modeling projects beyond the RFP process, including model setup, testing, and the intake and management of large data sets.
