Job Summary

The Senior Generation Development Analyst is a part of the Siting and Technical Services team within the Generation Development department. This role provides geospatial analysis and decision-support tools that help identify, evaluate, and advance new electric generation projects from early-stage screening through development and permitting. This role ensures that GIS applications, services, and underlying data remain accurate, accessible, and aligned with the evolving needs of the broader development team as it evaluates and advances electric power generation projects.

This position assists in siting and provides technical support for generation development projects across a diverse mix of technologies, including utility-scale solar, distributed solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS), natural gas generation, advanced nuclear technologies, and other emerging energy resources. The Analyst delivers spatial analysis, data management, and mapping support that inform site evaluation as well as environmental, permitting, and real estate considerations, and develops executive-level maps, dashboards, and visualizations that support project development decisions, portfolio planning, regulatory filings, and leadership communications. The role collaborates with project development, environmental, engineering, transmission, permitting, and real estate teams to support site selection and project advancement activities.

This role requires knowledge of ArcGIS Experience Builder, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, and data management practices, with experience managing GIS services, developing and maintaining GIS applications. Familiarity with AutoCAD and raster analysis is preferred. Strong understanding of Microsoft products is expected, along with the ability to translate complex spatial data into clear, professional deliverables that support executive decision‑making.

A preferred background includes siting and environmental constraints, real estate, permitting, and/or the energy industry. This position requires a driven, innovative, and technically minded individual with strong communication skills and a proactive approach to developing and enhancing GIS tools and applications that support the Generation Development group’s siting and technical objectives.

We offer a hybrid 3-2 work schedule (three days in the office, two days of teleworking) to accommodate the need for flexibility.

The knowledge, skills, abilities and experiences that are required for entry into this job include the following:

Experience: 5+ years of experience in GIS analysis, geospatial data management, or a related technical field, ideally supporting energy, utility, or infrastructure development projects.

• Preferred Industry Knowledge: Working knowledge of power generation siting considerations, including environmental and regulatory constraints (e.g., wetlands, floodplains, cultural and biological resources), real estate due diligence, or permitting requirements.
• Preferred Technical and GIS Expertise: Proficiency with ArcGIS Experience Builder, ArcGIS Enterprise, and ArcGIS Pro, with the ability to manage and maintain GIS services and web applications that support generation development activities. Experience with AutoCAD and raster analysis is preferred.
• Data Management: Strong data management skills, including the ability to compile, clean, and maintain spatial and tabular datasets used to update and support the Generation Development GIS portal.
• Tools and Systems: Solid understanding of Microsoft Office applications (Excel, PowerPoint, Word), with the ability to produce clear, professional maps and materials for leadership presentations.
• Collaboration Skills: Ability to work effectively as part of the Siting and Technical Services team, providing GIS support and technical assistance across the broader Generation Development group.
• Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical GIS analysis into clear, concise materials for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Personal Attributes: Driven, innovative, and technically minded, with a proactive approach to developing and enhancing GIS tools and applications that support siting and generation development decision‑making.
