What is an interconnection manager?

An Interconnection Manager is a professional responsible for overseeing the process of connecting energy projects, such as solar or wind farms, to the existing electrical grid. They coordinate with utilities, regulatory agencies, and project developers to ensure all technical, legal, and compliance requirements are met for a successful interconnection. Their role involves managing timelines, submitting necessary documentation, and resolving technical or regulatory issues that may arise during the interconnection process. By facilitating these connections, Interconnection Managers help bring new energy projects online efficiently and safely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an interconnection manager?

To thrive as an Interconnection Manager, you need a solid understanding of electrical engineering, utility regulations, and project management, often supported by a relevant degree and experience in energy or telecommunications. Familiarity with interconnection standards, grid management software, and permitting processes, as well as certifications like PMP or PE, are typically required. Exceptional communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills help in coordinating with utilities, developers, and regulatory bodies. These competencies are vital to ensure projects are interconnected efficiently, safely, and in compliance with all technical and regulatory requirements.

What are some common challenges faced by interconnection managers when coordinating with utility companies and project stakeholders?

Interconnection Managers often face challenges such as navigating varying utility requirements, managing shifting project timelines, and ensuring all parties stay aligned on technical specifications and regulatory compliance. Communication is key, as delays can occur if utility companies, engineering teams, or permitting authorities are not kept in the loop. Successful Interconnection Managers proactively address these challenges by building strong relationships, maintaining organized project documentation, and staying current with evolving interconnection standards and local regulations.

Summary

The Senior Manager, Interconnection owns Highland's utility interconnection and new-service program across a large, fast-moving portfolio of battery energy storage (BESS), edge compute, and EV charging sites. Utility diligence, new service applications, and utility coordination sit on the critical path to a build-ready site — this role is accountable for moving them at portfolio scale and on an aggressive timeline. 

The Senior Manager, Interconnection serves as Highland's primary interface with electric utilities, functionally leads the external partners who perform utility diligence and application work, and builds the relationships, playbooks, and standards that make utility engagement faster and more repeatable across every territory Highland develops in. This is a high-ownership program role. The portfolio is comprised of ~100 (and growing) sites in 20+ states and major utility partners include ComEd, SCE, Ameren, National Grid, NYSEG, Idaho Power, DTE, Entergy, and El Paso.

The Senior Manager, Interconnection sets the pace on utility workstreams, clears roadblocks with utilities before they threaten project schedules, and keeps utility milestones tracking in parallel with design and permitting so that new electrical service is secured when each site needs it.

This position reports to the Vice President, Development & Construction, with an expectation of approximately 20% travel.

Job Overview:
  • Own the utility interconnection and new-service program across Highland's development portfolio, from early diligence through energized service.
  • Lead utility diligence to confirm each site's buildability from a utility standpoint — available capacity, service voltage, required upgrades, timelines, and costs.
  • Prepare and manage new utility service and interconnection applications, driving them through to approval on an aggressive, portfolio-wide schedule.
  • Serve as Highland's primary point of contact with electric utilities, managing utility timelines, budgets, and escalations.
  • Functionally lead and quality-check the external partners performing utility diligence and application work
  • Keep utility workstreams tracking in parallel with design and permitting so that utility milestones feed the design packages on time.
  • Manage rate schedule and tariff selection.
  • Contribute utility upgrade and service costs to project budgets and support a repeatable unit-cost installation model.
  • Build and maintain a repository of utility requirements, processes, and contacts by territory to make each new engagement faster.
  • Develop relationships and standardized interconnection playbooks with the utilities Highland works with most.
Qualifications:

Required

  • Bachelor's degree, or 8+ years of directly related professional experience.
  • Substantial experience working with electric utilities — interconnection, new service requests, and service upgrades — on the developer, customer, or utility side.
  • Program or portfolio management experience coordinating many concurrent projects and external partners.
  • Demonstrated ability to move utility applications and approvals forward on aggressive timelines.
  • Demonstrated experience negotiating phased or partial interconnection agreements with utilities.

Preferred

  • Experience with utility interconnection for distributed energy resources (BESS, solar) or large commercial/industrial electrical loads.
  • Exposure to EV charging, edge compute/data center power, or renewable energy development.
  • Familiarity with interconnection standards and utility processes (e.g., IEEE 1547, utility tariffs, and state interconnection rules).
  • Experience working alongside permitting authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) and engineering consultants.
  • Prior experience at or embedded with an electric utility; PMP or equivalent certification.
What You Can Expect from Highland:
  • Competitive base salary and performance-based bonus program
  • A supportive, highly collaborative, team-oriented environment
  • Ability to work with bright, innovative, and forward-thinking colleagues
  • Health, Vision, and Dental coverage for employees & their dependents
  • Generous Paid Time Off
  • 401(k) program and company match
