Nice To Haves

• Utility, municipal, or consulting background involving EVSE, fleet depots, or distributed energy interconnection.
• Experience with investor-owned utility (IOU) or municipal utility make-ready incentives and NEVI/CFI utility coordination.
• Familiarity with distributed energy resources (DER), battery storage, or managed charging programs that reduce demand charges.

Responsibilities

• Map utility make-ready, service upgrade, and interconnection steps for agency EVSE and depot projects.
• Prepare or review load letters, interconnection applications, and utility coordination packages.
• Analyze rate schedules, demand charges, and time-of-use options that affect charger operating costs.
• Advise agencies on utility timelines, capacity constraints, and phasing to avoid stranded assets.
• Coordinate with agency facilities teams, engineers, and utility account managers through design and energization.
• Document risks, dependencies, and decision points for project managers and elected briefings.
