Why You Should Join the E3 Team
When you join the E3 team, you will be working on some of the most important energy issues with some of the top minds in the electricity industry. We help shape energy and climate policy, play vital roles in regulatory proceedings, advise executives, and inform investment and planning selections. At E3, you will be challenged and inspired. 
Who We Are

Founded in 1989, Energy + Environmental Economics (E3) is a fast-growing energy consulting firm that helps utilities, regulators, policy makers, developers, and investors make the most educated strategic decisions possible as they implement new public policies, deploy and develop new technologies, and address customers’ shifting expectations. We have offices in San Francisco, New York City, Boston, Denver, and Calgary.  

Because E3 works with customers from all sectors of the electricity industry, we provide a 360-degree knowledge of markets, planning, policy, regulation, and environmental factors. Just as important, we are driven to deliver clear, unbiased evaluations that help customers make informed decisions.  

E3 works on high-profile, high-impact projects in jurisdictions that spearhead the implementation of clean energy policy. In California, Hawaii, and New York, we are advising state agencies and regulators about how to implement clean energy policies with an emphasis on customer incentives and markets.

About You
We look for people who combine deep experience in electric transmission project delivery with strong project management, commercial, and stakeholder coordination skills.  You bring subject matter expertise in bulk-system transmission and substation development and thrive in complex, multi-party project environments. 
For this role role specifically, we are looking for a candidate to lead our clients in an advisory capacity - guiding them in the development of an integrated transmission planning organization bringing together planning, engineering, construction, commercial and regulatory considerations.  You bring structure to ambiguity, proactively identify risks, and drive projects forward with clarity and accountability.  You have experience working across utilities, EPC contractors, owner's engineers and regulators and can effectively align stakeholders and influence decisions in high-stakes environments.  You are equally comfortable diving into project controls and stepping back to provide strategic guidance. 
Internally, our Associate Directors take on a pivotal role to help manage, shape, and continue to develop an E3 Practice Area.  In this position, you will help to drive the continued growth of E3's business through strategic project and thought leadership, developing our next generation of leaders and further advancing our reputation for best-in-class solutions to our broad case of clients.  You bring curiosity, thrive in a rigorous and quantitative solution- finding environment, take a collaborative approach to project work, are comfortable coaching and providing feedback to others, and are practiced at working closely with clients and stakeholders while supporting the execution of our business and mission.  We seek those that are inquisitive and look at all sides of an issue to make informed recommendations with confidence and clarity.  You pride yourself in your technical aptitude and deep subject matter expertise.  You bring a strong attention to detail and your project management and leadership techniques help you independently create and actualize work plans that are efficient while delivering an elevate level of guidance to our customers. 
The Role
The Associate Director (Transmission) will lead strategy engagements for utilities and their transmission businesses. Your team will work with our clients to develop and execute an end-to-end process for the delivery of transmission and substation projects across multiple development models.  Initially executing the work while training and transitioning that work to client staff. 
Work Environment
E3 has adopted a hybrid and flexible work environment that adapts to changing needs of projects and safety requirements. Because E3 thrives in a strong collaborative office-based working environment, we encourage our E3 employees to work from the office at least 2-3 days per week, usually including Tuesdays and Thursdays. Must be able to work for extended hours in front of a computer screen and conduct meetings on the telephone and virtually.
