Job description

Jupiter Power is an energy infrastructure company focused on the development, construction, and operation of energy storage assets in wholesale electricity markets. Formed in 2017, the company is a national leader in energy storage deployment, utilizing its proprietary dispatch optimization applications to maximize the value of our storage deployments to the grid. Backed by BlackRock’s Diversified Infrastructure business, Jupiter Power has a strategic and established portfolio of over 1400-megawatt hours of utility-scale energy storage projects operating or in construction in the U.S., with a leading pipeline of over 11000 megawatts in active development.

The Interconnection Analyst supports the execution and administration of utility-scale generation interconnection projects across multiple Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). This role is responsible for coordinating interconnection-related agreements, supporting project execution, maintaining project documentation, tracking milestones, and coordinating day-to-day interconnection activities throughout the project lifecycle.

This position works closely with Interconnection Managers, Legal, Engineering, Commercial, Transmission Owners (TOs), RTOs/ISOs, and external consultants to ensure projects progress efficiently from study through commercial operation. This is an execution and project coordination role, rather than a power systems engineering or policy role.

This role will be based out of any of our Chicago, IL office and is subject to our Company’s return-to-office policy which currently requires a minimum of three days a week in the office.

• Coordinate agreement comments, redlines, approvals, and signatures between Legal, Engineering, Commercial, and external parties.
• Monitor agreement milestones, payment obligations, and contractual deliverables to support timely project execution.

Project Execution Support

• Support day-to-day execution of interconnection projects from Study Agreement submission through commercial operation.
• Track post-GIA project milestones, contractual obligations, and work order activities.
• Maintain project schedules and monitor deliverable deadlines, payment schedules, and compliance requirements.
• Coordinate execution activities across internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Identify and elevate schedule risks, overdue action items, and project issues to the Interconnection Manager.

Transmission Owner & RTO Coordination

• Coordinate and attend routine meetings with Transmission Owners (TOs), RTOs/ISOs, consultants, and internal project teams.
• Prepare meeting agendas, capture meeting minutes, and track follow-up action items.
• Coordinate communications to ensure timely completion of project deliverables.

Document Management & Project Controls

• Maintain project document repositories and ensure documents are complete, organized, and current.
• Manage version control for agreements, study reports, technical documents, correspondence, invoices, work orders, and project records.
• Maintain project trackers, dashboards, and status reports.
• Support audit readiness and document retrieval requests.

Interconnection Request Support (As Workload Allows)

• Assist with preparation and coordination of Interconnection Request (IR) packages.
• Coordinate collection of technical and commercial submission materials.
