Are you ready to help power the global quality of life? Join Enverus, and be a part of creating a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.

The role
You’ll be in the room, virtually and physically, with the hyperscalers, utility executives, IPP developers, and institutional investors deciding where the next wave of data centers and electrified industrials connect to the grid. Most client questions land somewhere on the same three axes: where to site new load, what the local utility’s rates and tariffs actually mean, and what the surrounding power market looks like. Your work won’t sit in a dashboard; it’ll shape billion-dollar siting decisions, rate case filings, and IRPs across North America.

 

This role reports to Ryan Luther, who leads the broader Power & Renewables Intelligence group.

 

This is an in-office role based at our Calgary headquarters with regular travel to the US for client meetings and conferences.

 

A day on the team

 

• Take a 30-minute call from a hyperscaler’s energy procurement lead trying to compare utility tariffs and siting attractiveness for a 500 MW build.
• Read a rate case order over coffee and translate its implications for a private equity client by lunch.
• Write a 600-word note under your byline on what last week’s IRP filing means for new large-load tariffs.
• Walk a developer’s commercial team through the interconnection landscape across PJM, ERCOT, and MISO.
• Get on stage at an industry conference and field the hard questions about transmission queue reform and large-load policy.

How we work
Most research shops give ownership of the hardest problems to the most senior person on the team; everyone below executes. We do the opposite. Every analyst, even at entry-level, owns their projects end-to-end and pulls in senior team members for guidance. That hands-on, problem-by-problem ownership is how you build the confidence and judgment to add real value to our clients, and it’s the single biggest reason people stay on this team.

Who thrives on this team

 

• Your intelligence is broad, not narrow. You aren’t the world’s expert on power flow analysis, but you’re smart enough to master it if put to the task. You’re more interested in solving the whole problem than being the deepest specialist on one piece of it.
• You ask for help early. You’d rather make ten phone calls and look slightly less smart than struggle alone for two weeks.
• You understand that excellent and on time outperforms perfect and late.
• You’d rather write a tight one-pager than a 40-slide deck.
• You take the work seriously, not yourself.
• You seek to be a direct contributor to infrastructure development, bridging the gap between data analysis and real-world implementation.

What you’ll own

 

• Large load and data center research. Build and maintain the definitive view on the pipeline, siting, and operational characteristics of hyperscale data centers and other large industrial loads across North America.
• Siting frameworks. Develop how clients evaluate location attractiveness across transmission capacity, interconnection queues, utility tariffs, latency, water, land, and policy. Make those frameworks the ones the market relies on.
• Utility rate cases & IRPs. Track and interpret rate case filings, integrated resource plans, large-load tariffs, and special contracts, and translate them into actionable insight for clients on both sides of the meter.
• BTM integration. Cover the economics, reliability, and emissions implications of behind-the-meter generation, storage, and microgrid configurations supporting large loads.
• Client engagement. Independently lead calls and presentations with corporate strategy teams, hyperscalers, utilities, IPPs, and institutional investors. Become the name clients ask for.
• Published research. Author and publish notes, reports, and dashboards through the Enverus Prism™ platform that get quoted in trade press and earn invites to industry stages.
• Cross-team collaboration. Partner with Power Market Fundamentals, Power Assets, and Commercial teams so your work compounds with theirs.
• Must-haves
• You’re someone people remember after a meeting: clear, confident, curious, and easy to spend an hour with. You can hold your own with a utility CFO, a developer’s commercial lead, and a hyperscaler’s VP of energy in the same afternoon.
• Direct experience with at least two of: utility rate cases, IRPs, large load siting, generator interconnection, or large customer tariffs. That experience can come from a utility, hyperscaler, developer, consultancy, law firm, ISO/RTO, regulator, or research/data provider.
• Working knowledge of utility regulation: cost-of-service ratemaking, IRP processes, and FERC / state PUC dynamics.
• A track record of doing real things well, academic or professional or otherwise. We care more about what you’ve built than your GPA.
• Comfort translating dense regulatory and technical material into clear, actionable insight for executive audiences.
• Willingness to live in Calgary and travel to the US for client meetings, conferences, and site visits.

Helpful, but not required

• Python, SQL, or advanced Excel modeling.
• Hands-on experience designing BTM generation, storage, or microgrid systems.
• Professional designation (P.Eng., JD, MBA, MS/PhD).
• Existing relationships in the hyperscaler, utility, or developer community.
• What success looks like in your first 12 months
• You own large load coverage end-to-end and become the name clients ask for by Q3.
• You publish at least one piece of research that gets quoted in trade press.
• You’re on stage at two industry conferences and host a quarterly client roundtable.
• You partner with product and data science to ship something on the Prism™ platform that wouldn’t exist without you.
• You build the relationships across Power Market Fundamentals, Power Assets, and Commercial that compound your work.
