Con Edison, a multibillion-dollar energy utility, is leading the clean energy transition in New York City and Westchester County. We invest hundreds of millions of dollars annually to integrate distributed resources into our electric and gas systems, support electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and scale adoption of energy efficiency and clean heating technologies across our customers. The Clean Energy Project Lead in Distributed Energy Resource Integration & Management (DERIM) will play a key role in supporting the operational integration and adoption of our GridOS DERMS platform, as well as other operational technologies.

This role serves as a critical link between the DERIM team, electric operations, control centers, engineering, clean energy program implementation teams, and our Grid Edge Lab to ensure that DERMS capabilities are aligned with operational needs and incorporated into day-to-day utility operations. The Project Lead will work across stakeholder groups to develop operating procedures, control strategies, monitoring requirements, business processes, and tools and technologies necessary to support the safe and reliable use of DERs.

This individual will collaborate with operation and engineering groups to define future operating models, validate use cases through laboratory testing, and partner with our change management team to enable successful DERMS and other DER-related technology adoption. The ideal candidate will combine strong utility operational knowledge with exceptional stakeholder engagement skills and has demonstrated success leading complex initiatives requiring coordination across multiple organizations and a deep understanding of policies and procedures.

• Serve as the primary liaison between Electric Operations, Control Centers, Engineering, customer clean energy program implementation teams (such as Customer Clean Energy Programs, E-Mobility, and Energy Storage), DERIM, and the Grid Edge Lab to ensure alignment of DERMS capabilities with operational needs.
• Facilitate the development of policies, procedures, operating practices, and governance frameworks required to support DERMS deployment and DER integration.
• Develop detailed operational use cases and monitoring and control scenarios for validation within the Grid Edge Lab and implementation within the DERMS platform.
• Prepare presentations and become a subject matter expert in critical DER initiatives and provide high level summaries as needed.
• Coordinate with Product Owners and Lab Project Lead to ensure operational requirements, business processes, and operator workflows are incorporated into product planning and implementation activities.
• Collaborate with the Grid Edge Lab team to translate operational needs into test objectives, evaluation criteria, and demonstration scenarios.
• Support organizational readiness and change management activities to align Electric Operations, Control Centers, Engineering, and other stakeholders with evolving DERMS capabilities and operating models.
• Develop procedures and operational guidance for the monitoring and control of Distributed Energy Resources to support safe, reliable, and efficient grid operations.
• Translate business requirements into use cases and associated technical solutions, which may result in DERMS product…
