About Francis Energy :

Francis Energyis apioneer inthe EV (Electric Vehicle) charging industry,havingestablishedthe nation’sfirstcomprehensivestatewideelectricvehiclefast-chargingnetworkbyinstallingmore than 850 fast charging ports throughout the Country. Our mission is to transform the electrification of transportation by ensuring equitable, affordable, reliable, and safe access to public charging stations across America, leaving no community behind. Francis Energy is expanding rapidly throughout the continental U.S., supporting this expansion through a combination of federal grant funding and private partnerships.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual who seeks a significantopportunitytojoinourteam andshares ourbelief in the transformative potential of clean energy to mitigate climate change.

The Utility Feasibility & Economics Analyst role supports early-stage EV charging project development by evaluating electric utility rates, confirming preliminary power availability, assessing transformer lead times, andidentifyingapplicable utility incentive programs. The roleis responsible forbreaking down complex utility tariffs, riders, and fee structures into clear, standardized utility cost inputs that support feasibility determinations and downstream financial analysis.

This role does not perform project financial modeling or forecasting. Instead, it providesaccurate, well-documented utility cost components, assumptions, and constraints to Finance and Project Development to support site screening and advancement decisions. Through a combination of structured analysis and direct utility engagement, the role plays a critical function indeterminingwhether a site is technicallyfeasibleandappropriate toadvance prior to capital commitment.

• Analyze electric utility rate schedules applicable to EV charging infrastructure, including:
• Energy (kWh) charges
• Demand (kW) charges
• Time-of-use structures
• Riders, surcharges, and pass-through fees
• Taxes and other miscellaneous charges
• Identify and model all components contributing to the fully burdened monthly utility cost for prospective EV charging sites.
• Compare alternative rate schedules, including EV-specific tariffs, todeterminethe most cost-effective option.
• Develop andmaintainstandardized tools and methodologies for utility cost analysis during feasibility.
• Engage directly with electric utilities to:
• Confirm preliminary power availability at specific sites
• Inquire about transformer availability and estimated lead times
• Document utility feedback, assumptions, risks, and constraints clearlyfor internal feasibility tracking.
• Research utility rebate and incentive programs applicable to EV charging infrastructure.
• Identifyincentive eligibility requirements, caps, timelines, and application processes.
• Maintain an internal reference library of utility incentive programs by territory.
• Support Project Development indeterminingwhether sites are technically buildable and economicallyviable.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Engineering, and external stakeholdersas neededto align feasibility assumptions with downstream execution.
• Continuouslymonitorchanges in utility tariffs, programs, and EV-specific offerings and incorporate updates into feasibility processes.

• Strong understanding of electric utility rate structures, demand charges, and riders.
• Ability to break down complex tariffs into structured, finance-ready inputs.
• Comfort engaging electric utilities directly via phone and email to obtain preliminary technical and planning information.
• Advancedproficiencyin Microsoft Excel for analytical breakdowns and structured data outputs (not financial forecasting).
• Strong documentation, organization, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple feasibility analyses simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

• Bachelor’sdegree in a related field or equivalent practical experience is preferred.
• 3+ years of experience analyzing electric utility rates, tariffs, or energy cost structures.
• Demonstrated experience providing utility cost inputs to finance,developmentteamsor other…
