Director of Consulting Services

Ener Nex LLC, a CESI Group company

Director of Consulting Services

Under executive management direction, the Director of Consulting is responsible for developing the United States consultancy business of the Company, with focus on investor-owned utility, independent system operator, and regional transmission organization clients, together with the cooperative, municipal, and public power segment and Renewables and BESS developers as well as EPCs. The position carries responsibility for organic growth and for the profit and loss of the assigned unit.

It also carries responsibility for operations and program areas including special projects, budget analysis, contract administration, and other specialized functions, and requires the preparation of reports intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, as well as the coordination of assigned activities with other departments and divisions.

The ideal candidate has previously established strong relationships with major participants in the industry, including large utilities, ISOs and RTOs, developers, and independent vendors, and is able to act as a representative of the Company by remaining conversant with the services and skills offered across all departments of the organization.

Ener Nex holds established technical references in power quality engineering, ADMS advisory, grid modernization roadmaps, standards and interoperability, OT cybersecurity, and independent testing advisory through KEMA Laboratories. Adjacent capability includes large load and data center interconnection, DER interconnection, BESS validation, resilience and storm hardening, and regulatory and rate case support.

The constraint on growth is origination rather than delivery capability. The Company is therefore establishing regionally based senior consulting positions.

Candidates are required to reside within one of the three target regions and to hold established client relationships within that region. The position is home-based and remote working is supported within the United States. Relocation assistance is not provided, as the value of the appointment lies in the professional network already established in the territory.
