You’ll leverage your system operations expertise to advise on future‑state processes, operational standards, readiness strategies, and organizational best practices.

This is an opportunity to influence how utilities operate, prepare their teams, and adapt to the evolving demands of the modern grid.

• Support Training & Readiness Review training content, validate simulations, and ensure materials accurately reflect real‑world operational practices.
• Collaborate Across Teams Partner with internal project teams and client SMEs to ensure operational insights inform project plans, assessments, and deliverables.
• Build Long‑Term Client Relationships Act as a trusted partner, helping utilities enhance their operations through practical, experience‑backed recommendations.

What You Bring

• Strong experience in electric distribution, transmission, or utility control center operations
• Ability to assess operational performance and provide practical, strategic recommendations
• Knowledge of utility operational roles, workflows, and decision‑making processes
• Familiarity with SCADA/OMS/ADMS platforms (ABB, OSI, GE, Schneider Electric)
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and consulting skills
• Business and operational acumen to connect recommendations with organizational goals
• Experience supporting training, modeling, or simulation development is a plus (but not required as a primary focus)
