When you join the E3 team, you will be working on some of the most important energy issues with some of the top minds in the industry. We help shape energy and climate policy, play vital roles in regulatory proceedings, advise executives, and inform investment and planning selections. At E3, you will be challenged and inspired.

Who We Are

Founded in 1989, Energy + Environmental Economics (E3) is a growing energy consulting firm that helps utilities, regulators, policy makers, developers, and investors make the most educated strategic decisions possible as they implement new public policies, deploy and develop new technologies, and address customers’ shifting expectations. We have offices in San Francisco, New York City, Boston, Denver, and Calgary.

Because E3 works with customers from all sectors of the electricity industry, we provide a 360-degree knowledge of markets, planning, policy, regulation, and environmental factors. Just as important, we are driven to deliver clear, unbiased evaluations that help customers make informed decisions.

E3 works on high-profile, high-impact projects in jurisdictions that spearhead the implementation of clean energy policy. In California, Hawai’i, and New York, we are advising state agencies and regulators about how to implement clean energy policies with an emphasis on customer incentives and markets. We are also increasingly working in regions all across North America, with utilities, regulators, developers and investors from Florida to Alberta and many places in between.

The Work

E3 is seeking a Director of Power Systems Engineering to lead technical and strategic engagements that help utilities and regulator transition to a more flexible, decarbonized, and distributed grid. This role combines business development, client engagement, regulatory support, and technical contributions – ideal for a seasoned utility consultant with deep experience in grid modernization, distributed system planning, and DER integration.

You will help develop and grow E3’s work in distributed planning, grid modernization strategy, and flexible load integration, helping clients navigate the technical, operational, and regulatory challenges of electrification, distributed energy resources, and system planning reform. Your background should include leading multi-disciplinary teams, developing trusted client relationships, and delivering high-impact advisory services at the intersection of engineering, policy and operations.

This role also includes direct support for utility distribution planning teams, where you will help refine analytical frameworks, implement advanced modeling tools, and align planning practices with emerging regulatory expectations. In addition to project leadership, you will contribute to E3’s business development, thought leadership, and strategic partnerships in power systems planning and engineering.
