• 5+ years of relevant experience supporting electric transmission, utility, or linear infrastructure projects.
• Experience with transmission siting, routing, corridor studies, environmental permitting, or regulatory review.
• Understanding of environmental, regulatory, and land-use considerations associated with transmission infrastructure.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary project teams and deliverables.
• Strong communication, technical writing, analytical, and project management skills.
