About the role

Eversource’s Resilience and Reliability group focuses on implementing a data-driven strategy to invest in strengthening the electric transmission and distribution grid to mitigate and adapt to climate change and to enable a modern, digital and decarbonized grid. The Senior Data Analyst will join a team of data analysts and data engineers, that is tasked with multiple data needs supporting our group. The group is looking to expand their capabilities in learning from the existing data and proposing future plans to enhance grid reliability based on historical efficacy. With regards to resilience, the high-impact low-frequency events that fall under the resilience umbrella, are highly unpredictable, thus the candidate would work in creating risk-based models that use probabilistic analyses to optimize all aspects of our planned projects (project type, when and where). Therefore, this role is at the core of the creation of an enterprise-wide reliability and resilience strategy across the three states of operation (MA, NH and CT). The strategy needs to align with the multiple locational, operational, jurisdictional and other related challenges in the data and measures proposed. The ideal candidate has experience in data analytics, data quality and machine learning modeling, and has worked with utility/ distribution power systems applications.
