Formación

• Prepare and manage new utility service and interconnection applications, driving them through to approval on an aggressive, portfolio-wide schedule.
• Serve as Highland's primary point of contact with electric utilities, managing utility timelines, budgets, and escalations.
• Functionally lead and quality-check the external partners performing utility diligence and application work.
• Keep utility workstreams tracking in parallel with design and permitting so that utility milestones feed the design packages on time.
• Manage rate schedule and tariff selection.
• Contribute utility upgrade and service costs to project budgets and support a repeatable unit-cost installation model.
• Build and maintain a repository of utility requirements, processes, and contacts by territory to make each new engagement faster.
