You will support market surveys, classification reviews, total-compensation comparisons, and pay-plan recommendations in utility and municipal operating environments. Ideal candidates have completed studies for utilities or special districts, not only general government HR.

Build peer sets that include utilities, special districts, and comparable municipal operations
Evaluate premiums, certifications, shift differentials, and total compensation practices
Support salary structure, range, and implementation recommendations
Prepare clear reports and board/executive presentations
Contribute utility-sector technical content to Alpha Gov proposals
Required:
- 5+ years compensation/classification consulting or utility HR compensation work
- Direct experience with public utilities, water/wastewater, electric, or special-district compensation studies (or equivalent municipal public-works heavy studies)
- Strong analytical and report-writing skills
- Ability to explain technical findings to nontechnical audiences
Nice to have: electric utility peer surveys; water district studies; FLSA for field/operations roles
