Remote Power Grid information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Power Grid Operator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Power Grid Operator, you need a strong understanding of electrical engineering principles, grid operations, and typically a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with SCADA systems, real-time monitoring software, and applicable certifications such as NERC are essential for managing grid stability. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for this role. These skills ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of power grids, minimizing risks of outages and maintaining energy supply continuity.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in remote power grid management, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals managing remote power grids often encounter challenges such as limited on-site resources, communication delays, and difficulties in real-time monitoring and maintenance. To address these issues, teams typically rely on advanced remote monitoring systems, predictive maintenance tools, and clear communication protocols to ensure rapid response to outages or anomalies. Building strong collaboration with onsite technicians and maintaining up-to-date documentation are also crucial for smooth operations. Adapting to changing technologies and continuous learning help professionals stay effective in this dynamic field.

The Remote Power Grid role focuses on managing and maintaining large-scale electrical systems and infrastructure, often requiring specialized engineering credentials. In contrast, Remote Electrical Technicians handle installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of electrical systems, typically with technical certifications. Both roles are vital in the energy sector but differ in scope, credentials, and daily tasks.

What are remote power grids?

Remote power grids are decentralized electrical systems that supply power to areas not connected to the main power grid, often in rural or isolated locations. These grids typically use renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, or small-scale hydro, sometimes combined with battery storage and backup generators. Remote power grids help provide reliable electricity to communities, businesses, or facilities that would otherwise lack access to conventional utility services.

San Francisco, CA • On-site, Remote

Full-time

Job description

Mission
The power grid is the backbone of national security, the economy, and the energy transition-and growing uncertainty is making it harder to maintain reliability while integrating new generation and serving rapid load growth. As a result, generation developers, large load developers, and electric utilities are forced to plan and build with imperfect data and slow study workflows, making interconnection and long-term planning slower, riskier, and more uncertain.
Piq Energy accelerates the energy transition with an automated network model management system and autonomous grid planning and interconnection software. Our products and technology supercharge technical analysis around transmission and distribution grids for generation, storage, and load developers, as well as utilities and system operators across North America and Europe.
Role
As the Account Executive, you will own new-logo revenue growth end-to-end, prospecting through close. You will focus on data center and generation developers navigating the interconnection process. This is a high-impact role for a consultative seller who can earn credibility with technical stakeholders, translate interconnection pain into clear business value, and run strong, efficient deal cycles.
You'll lead discovery, run demos solo, coordinate technical benchmarking, and guide negotiations to signature; typically in a 2-3 month cycle with six-figure ACV deals. After close, you'll support Customer Success in managing the ongoing relationship.
This is a U.S.-based remote role with domestic travel for industry events and periodic company off-sites.
Responsibilities
  • Own New-Logo Pipeline: Build repeatable outbound/inbound motion to create and advance qualified opportunities with data center and generation developers to support new ARR target of $2M.
  • Discovery + Demo: Run consultative discovery, map stakeholders/decision criteria, and deliver tailored demos and benchmarking; pull in technical teammates for deep dives.
  • Account Qualification: Quickly assess ICP fit, urgency, buying process, and budget; disqualify early, and focus time on high-probability paths to close.
  • Technical Evaluation: Coordinate benchmarking and proof points so prospects gain confidence in Piq's platform and team.
  • Negotiate + Close: Lead pricing, commercial terms, and procurement to signature; maintain momentum and crisp next steps.
  • Industry Presence: Use conferences/events to network, generate pipeline, and deepen key relationships.
  • Team Collaboration: Share market feedback with product/leadership and hand off closed accounts cleanly to Customer Success.

Requirements
  • 3+ years closing in consultative B2B in energy industry (energy SaaS, grid analytics, interconnection services, power systems consulting, or adjacent).
  • Track record closing $100k+ ACV deals and delivering multi-million-dollar annual new ARR bookings.
  • Credibility selling to developers and/or adjacent stakeholders (utilities, ISOs/RTOs, power system consultants).
  • Strong executive communication and stakeholder management; translate technical complexity into business outcomes.
  • Experience building pipeline, maintaining clean records in CRM, and comfort using AI tools to improve prospecting, follow-up, and internal efficiency.
  • Successfully partnered with technical teams through evaluations (benchmarks, pilots, technical objections) to keep momentum through objections.
  • Self-directed, proactive, resilient in an AI-native startup environment.
  • U.S.-based; able to travel domestically up to ~30%.

Bonus Points
  • High-level interconnection fluency (cluster processes, study phases, upgrades/costs, queue dynamics, basic power flow) and ability to engage confidently.
  • Sold into data center developers and/or utility-scale generation developers
  • Sold into utilities.
  • Contributed to early-stage GTM iteration (playbooks, messaging, ICP refinement, process improvements).

About Piq Energy
Piq Energy's mission is to accelerate the energy transition by automating power grid simulation and analysis for project developers and utilities.
Our values
  • Kindness: Be kind and candid to yourself and others.
  • Excellence: Aim high and continuously improve.
  • Sustainability: Consider your capacity to maintain your self, your communities, and the environment.
  • Humility: Serve a greater goal, stay curious and open to learning
  • Freedom and Responsibility: You have the freedom to make decisions and the responsibility to take ownership of those decisions.

Why join us
  • Shape the future of the power grid
  • Work with a passionate, mission-driven team.
  • Collaborate in a global, remote-friendly environment.
  • Be part of the early team and contribute to shaping the company's direction.
