🏢 About Electric Power Engineers

Electric Power Engineers (EPE) is a consulting firm dedicated to enhancing grid reliability and resiliency for a sustainable energy future. Working at EPE means contributing to critical infrastructure projects that support the transition to renewable energy, with a fully remote culture that values flexibility and innovation.

About This Role

As a Business Applications Analyst, you will be the bridge between business users and technology, configuring and maintaining key SaaS platforms like ERP, CRM, and HRIS. Your work directly impacts operational efficiency across the company, ensuring that teams have the tools and data they need to support grid modernization efforts.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by checking a queue of support tickets from users in finance or operations, then collaborating with a vendor to resolve a permission issue in the CRM. Midday, you could be documenting requirements for a new approval workflow in the ERP, followed by testing configuration changes in a sandbox environment. You'll end the day reviewing reports to ensure system settings align with business needs.
