  • You meticulously maintain documentation to showcase adherence to Tariff processes and compliance standards.

  • Master’s degree.
  • Specific experience within any of the following: project management, transmission design, generation planning, transmission planning, transmission operations, transmission maintenance, transmission construction, contract management or state/federal regulatory processes.
