at Enverus

🏢 About Enverus

Enverus is uniquely positioned at the intersection of energy and technology, specifically accelerating investment in efficient and renewable energy development. Their focus on software solutions for the energy sector makes them a key player in the transition to sustainable energy infrastructure. Working here offers the opportunity to directly impact how renewable energy projects are planned and integrated into the grid.

About This Role

As a Senior Product Advisor for Utilities, you'll bridge client needs with technical solutions, leading meetings to understand current and future software requirements while prototyping alongside engineering teams. This role is impactful because you'll directly influence product development for transmission planning and generation interconnection software used by ISOs, utilities, and developers. You'll be responsible for both technical support and business development within this specialized energy sector.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing interconnection study results from a utility client, then leading a virtual meeting with a renewable developer to understand their software needs. You'd spend the afternoon collaborating with engineering teams on prototyping a new feature, followed by researching emerging transmission planning requirements at specific ISOs to identify new business opportunities.

🎯 Who Enverus Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years of hands-on experience with industry-standard transmission planning software (like PSS®E, PowerWorld, or similar tools) and deep knowledge of ISO/utility study processes
  • Demonstrates proven ability to translate technical transmission/interconnection concepts into business opportunities and software requirements
  • Possesses established relationships with key stakeholders at ISOs, utilities, or renewable project developers in the US energy sector
  • Shows enthusiasm for innovating both technically (new software features) and commercially (new business models for energy software)

📝 Tips for Applying to Enverus

Quantify your experience with specific transmission planning software tools (mention PSS®E versions, PowerWorld, or other tools you've used)

2

Highlight any previous work with California ISO (CAISO), PJM, ERCOT, or other US ISOs specifically in transmission or interconnection studies

3

Describe a specific instance where you identified a business opportunity from a technical problem in the energy sector

4

Mention any experience with renewable energy project developers and their interconnection challenges

5

Emphasize your remote work discipline and experience collaborating with distributed engineering teams
