  • Participate in daily rotational responsibilities including bidding, peak alert forecasting, and EV charging scheduling.
  • Support special projects and emerging initiatives as assigned.
  • TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE :

  • Bachelor's Degree in math, science, engineering, economics, or a related technical discipline.
  • 3-7 years of relevant experience in energy markets, commodities, analytics, or similar fields.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel required; SQL or other database experience preferred.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret conflicting data.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to manage deadlines and Member expectations effectively.
  • Integrity, reliability, and a detail-oriented mindset.
