Each project you take on means fewer outages, better security, improved energy efficiency, and more substantial support for renewable energy transitions.

A Day in the Life Here’s how a typical day might unfold: • Morning check-ins: You’ll start the day reviewing updates from teams handling innovative grid technology solutions or checking energy data analytics dashboards. • Problem-solving moments: A utility partner may encounter issues with their remote utility management systems or require power distribution IT support. That’s when you step up, diagnose the challenge, and map out a fix. • Collaboration time: You’ll hop on video calls with engineers, data analysts, and compliance officers spread across different time zones.

It’s about making complex IT integration for the utilities sector feel doable and straightforward. • Project deep-dives: Some afternoons, you’ll be digging into renewable energy IT services or helping companies with energy efficiency software solutions that save costs and improve sustainability. • End of day wrap-up: Maybe it’s writing a report on modern IT transformation in energy, or maybe it’s guiding a team through technology adoption in utilities. By the end of the day, you’ll see the difference—whether it’s a more reliable grid or a client team moving forward with confidence.

It’s a role where no two days ever look the same. Core Responsibilities

This role mixes hands-on technical consulting with strategic advice.

You understand both the big picture and the nitty-gritty. • Problem solver: Complex IT issues don’t scare you. Actually, you enjoy breaking them down into manageable steps. • Clear communicator: Whether it’s explaining remote utility management systems to executives or training staff on smart grid technology solutions, you make it relatable.

Or the compliance officer stressed about a looming audit—you’re the calm voice helping them line up energy compliance and IT governance standards.

Or the manager trying to convince leadership to invest in modern energy IT consulting—you give them the tools to make a strong case. Remote work can feel isolating sometimes.
