Key Responsibilities:

  • Work with clients and manage engagements to tackle complex challenges related to the role of gas utilities in supporting energy and decarbonization targets and policies.

  • Lead teams that perform quantitative and economic analyses of decarbonization pathways and energy and climate policies, with a focus on impacts and opportunities for gas utilities, to assess and forecast future technology adoption, fuel and power consumption, utility infrastructure impacts, cost impacts, customer rate impacts, emissions reductions, and implementation and regulatory challenges.

  • Manage and grow client relationships by delivering excellent value, consistency, quality, and dependability.

  • Support sales and business development efforts with market research, outreach, proposal development, and thought leadership.

  • Collaborate and communicate effectively with other ICF and client teams.

  • Mentor and provide direction to junior staff in the course of their work.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • A bachelor's degree in the fields of engineering, energy policy, business, or economics

  • 5+ years of work experience related to analysis, policy, and/or regulations related to natural gas demand, gas infrastructure, energy efficiency, and/or decarbonization

  • Experience working with natural gas or electric utilities

  • Project management experience

Preferred Skills/Experience:

  • 8+ years of work experience related to analysis, policy, and/or regulations related to natural gas demand, gas infrastructure, energy efficiency, and/or decarbonization

  • Experience working at a natural gas utility

  • Experience with utility regulatory proceedings

  • Consulting experience

  • Master's degree in the fields of engineering, energy policy, business, or economics

  • Client management and/or business development experience

  • Specialized knowledge of opportunities related to the decarbonization of gas utilities, potentially including energy efficiency, non-pipeline alternatives, methane emission reductions, renewable natural gas, hydrogen, and/or heat pumps

  • Strong analytical aptitude

  • Strong communication and writing skills
