Senior Consultant, Transmission Advisory

Your impact

At Jacobs, we’re challenging today to reinvent tomorrow. Our Grid Transition Advisory (GTA) within the overall Power team is dedicated to navigating the complexities of modern energy evolution. We are seeking a highly collaborative and technically exceptional individual to lead cross-functional delivery across our evolving portfolio of offerings.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional power systems engineering and advanced energy economics to provide holistic support to clients from a reliability and market perspective. Following Jacobs’ acquisition of PA Consulting, you will serve as a vital go-between and strategic liaison to integrate PA Consulting’s premier offerings in market analytics, strategy, and production cost modeling (PCM) with Jacobs Power System Studies team’s core technical capabilities in power systems planning.

Along with executing high-level studies and advisory engagements, you will help spearhead internal technical project management of various specialized offerings, ensuring seamless execution across special studies, utility transmission planning, data center studies, and developer interconnection studies. Furthermore, you will leverage your understanding of RTO/ISO tariffs, markets, developer constraints, and utility operations to deliver high-impact advisory solutions that shape the future grid.

Here’s What You’ll Do

• Jacobs & PA Consulting Integration: Serve as the core collaborative bridge to seamlessly weave PA Consulting's market advisory, regulatory strategy, and production cost modeling (PCM) expertise into Jacobs' deeply technical power systems studies, engineering and design framework.
• Technical Advisory Execution: Perform Power System studies, translate complex power market dynamics, RTO/ISO tariff structures, reliability studies and production cost modeling insights into actionable project plans and high-value client deliverables. Regions will potentially focus on PJM, MISO, ERCOT and SPP.
• RTO/ISOStakeholder and Process Management: Interface directly with electric utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), clean energy developers, and large technology (data center) clients to align project objectives with market rules and technical constraints.
• Team & Process Scaling: Work with the GTA lead to build, standardize, and scale the operational workflows, resource allocations, and execution frameworks for the advisory practice.
• Business & Proposal Development: Partner with GTA leadership and our Sales team to scope out new advisory engagements, craft technical proposals, and clearly articulate Jacobs' distinct grid-transition solutions to new clients.
• Integrated Technical Projects Management: Along with study execution, utilizing a strong foundation in various power system and market study constructs, lead internal coordination and quality assurance across utility transmission planning, data center infrastructure, developer interconnection, and special grid studies with project and program managers. #LI-CC1 #epjobs #naepjobs
