Job summary

ISO New England, Inc. seeks an Energy Security Analyst to oversee the end-to-end reporting process for the 21-day energy emergency forecast, gathering initial-condition data from generators, weather and demand forecasters, outage coordinators, and pipeline operators.

You will develop forecasts and scenarios using tools with the Energy Analytics team, communicate uncertainty clearly, and translate analyses into practical, reliable decision-support methods for management.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in actuarial science, mathematics, nuclear engineering, or another related field.
• Software-development experience, particularly with Python.

• Ability to work in a small team and coordinate effectively with technical partners and data providers.
• Familiarity with bulk power-system operations or wholesale electricity markets is beneficial but not required.

Responsibilities

• Assess regional energy reliability across Operations and Operations Planning horizons, from near-real-time and seasonal analyses to outlooks extending 5–10 years.
• Use sophisticated tools to develop assumptions, forecasts, scenarios, and sensitivity analyses that identify and explain energy reliability risks facing New England.
• Gather initial-condition data from generators, weather and demand forecasters, outage coordinators, and pipeline operators, then develop reports to support management decisions.
• Strengthen energy reliability products and develop new approaches for assessing energy risk, moving from deterministic methods toward probabilistic assessments.
• Translate complex analyses into practical, reliable tools and communicate uncertainty clearly so stakeholders and management can review findings and provide input.
• Help define and communicate current and emerging power-system risks to enable market developers to address challenges.
