Director, Grid Integration

Interconnection Engineering & Site Screening • Screen and qualify potential points of interconnection (POIs) across CCR's national portfolio based on cost, timing, constraint exposure, and upgrade risk — for solar, storage, and co-located large load sites. • Conduct steady-state power flow analysis using TARA, PSS/E, PowerWorld, or equivalent tools to identify attractive injection capacity and transfer capacity for load. • Forecast thermal overloads, estimated interconnection costs, and queue timing for projects across PJM, MISO, ERCOT, WECC, and other markets. • Develop automated tools and workflows to increase the frequency, speed, and accuracy of wide-area and injection screening. • Develop physical interconnection configuration designs for co-located generation and large load facilities to optimize speed-to-power and project sizing. Study Review & Queue Strategy • Review and independently replicate ISO/RTO interconnection study results to validate assumptions, identify errors, and challenge upgrade cost allocations where appropriate. • Identify queue attrition potential that may eliminate or reduce network upgrade requirements, and advise project teams accordingly. Commercial & Strategic Advisory • Play a defining role in shaping CCR's interconnection strategy across ISOs/RTOs by deeply understanding evolving regulatory frameworks and translating them into project configuration and queue positioning recommendations. • Support project optimization strategies including surplus interconnection, project resizing, and alternative interconnection configurations. • Develop commercialization strategies for co-located large load and generation facilities. • Support GIA negotiations by providing technical context and strategic recommendations to project managers and commercial teams. • Advise senior leadership on the implications of FERC orders, market rule changes, and long-term transmission expansion trends. Policy & Stakeholder Engagement • Serve as CCR's technical representative in discussions with ISOs, RTOs, and utilities. • Partner with Grid Integration Project Managers to track and shape tariff updates, interconnection process reforms, and performance requirement changes in alignment with CCR's commercial priorities. Internal Leadership & Infrastructure • Act as CCR's internal subject matter expert on transmission planning and interconnection engineering. • Partner with development, finance, commercial, and operations teams to define and execute CCR's interconnection value proposition for large load customers. • Build and maintain internal systems, databases, and workflows that improve transparency, efficiency, and institutional knowledge across the Grid Integration team.

• BS in Electrical Engineering or closely related engineering discipline from an accredited university required. • 8+ years of transmission planning experience as a utility planner, generation developer, or consulting engineer. • Prior experience working across multiple ISOs and utilities with detailed knowledge of interconnection study methodologies. • Proficiency with power flow software (PSS/E, PowerWorld, TARA, or equivalent). • Python or other programming/scripting experience preferred. • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage and prioritize across multiple simultaneous workstreams. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical findings clearly to non-technical audiences. • Embrace and live by the mission and values of Cypress Creek Renewables.
