Job description

Why You Should Join the E3 Team 
 
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, Hawaii, 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.
 
E3 has a growing team of skilled PLEXOS modelers. We work together to pursue innovative approaches to apply production simulation (ST) and capacity expansion (LT) tools to our clients' cutting-edge operational and planning questions and to develop our own industry-leading forecasts of long-term evolution of major U.S. and Canadian power markets. 
 
About You 
 
We look for people who combine strong analytical dexterity and/or policy experience with integrity and a passion for energy. Our Consultants love to examine, research, and offer creative solutions to some of the most elaborate and important energy issues of the day. You bring curiosity, thrive in a rigorous and quantitative solution-finding environment, take a proactive approach to assist the team, and are practiced at clearly presenting information to a variety of stakeholders. We seek those that are inquisitive and look at all sides of an issue to make informed recommendations with confidence and clarity. You pride yourself in your attention to detail and your organizational techniques help you create and actualize work plans that are efficient while delivering an elevated level of guidance to serve our customers.  
 
The Work 
 
The Consultant is a vital contributor to our team and project work. The position assists and/or spearheads client-facing interactions and plays an engaged role in identifying the approach and methods for project tasks. Our consultants direct workstreams within projects and contribute heavily to written reports and papers. Our consultants have the opportunity to deliver findings and summaries to customers, making presentations and replying to questions. Duties will grow to include more elaborate investigative tasks, core QA/QC of products, and becoming a technical head on various project needs and/or a flagship modeling tool.  
 
Practice Areas 
 
We're highly collaborative, but everyone is encouraged to pursue their own practice areas of interest. At E3, our Practice Areas include:  
- Climate Pathways and Electrification 
- Asset Valuation, Transmission, and Markets 
- Integrated System Planning 
 
General 
 
- Hours: Full Time 
- Type: Exempt 
- Practice Area: Open  
- Travel: 0-10%% 
- Office Location: Hybrid work schedule from our office in downtown San Francisco, New York, Boston, Calgary or Denver 
 
Work Environment 
 
E3 allows employees to enjoy a hybrid and flexible work environment that adapts to the changing needs of projects. We thrive in a strong collaborative office-based working environment but also adapt to remote work when flexibility is needed. Employees must be able to work for extended hours in front of a computer screen and conduct meetings on the telephone and virtually.

  • Translate results of simulation cases and research into clear visual representations
  • Make modifications to existing E3 cases and tools to improve functionality and/or efficiency
  • Assist the delivery of customer work through modeling, developing presentations, writing and preparing entire subsections of reports and papers, and helping with additional customer requests 
  • Conduct independent research using your ingenuity and curiosity to make reasonable assumptions and produce appropriate solutions, at times with incomplete information.  
  • Deliver sections of presentations to customers and reply to questions
