What You’ll Be Doing

Cadmus seeks a Potential Studies Senior Analyst to join our Planning and Assessment Team. We provide advanced analytic and strategic consulting services to energy companies, utilities, governments, and non-profit organizations. We are looking for talented, bright, and driven people who have experience with conducting potential studies as well as a strong understanding of utility forecasting and/or integrated resourcing planning. The successful candidate will develop analytically advanced methods for estimating demand-side management resource potential and produce detailed client deliverables used to inform technical decision making, short-term program, and long-term resource planning.

This position will be responsible for supporting projects from start to finish, drawing from the expertise of colleagues in addition to their own professional and industry experience. As a Potential Studies Senior Analyst, you will have the opportunity to work on/support multiple projects at the same time and broaden your knowledge of clean energy and the utility sector. In a typical day you might do the following: run models to estimate statewide energy efficiency opportunities, build an Excel-based model to estimate the cost effectiveness of different policy options to promote renewable energy, characterize energy efficiency and demand response impacts on a per home or building basis, coordinate meetings with a wide variety of clean-energy stakeholders, write-up your research findings for published and un-published papers, develop innovative approaches to solving clean energy challenges, conduct secondary research about emerging energy storage systems, or present your work to external or internal parties.

As someone familiar with energy efficiency and distributed energy resource planning, you have:

• A strong understanding of potential assessments and integrated resource planning for electric and gas utilities.
• Proven expertise in energy efficiency, demand response, solar PV, battery storage, building electrification, electric vehicles, and combined-heat and power resources.
• Strong analytical experience that may involve strategic planning, policy analysis, market research, advanced analytics and modeling, engineering, stakeholder engagement, or evaluation.
• Excellent task management skills including leading technical analyses, interacting with clients and stakeholders, and enjoy working with staff.

In addition, you are a smart, creative, intellectually curious, and flexible individual, who thrives working on technical challenges. You are open to supporting colleagues who work across a wide range of projects including energy efficiency, distributed energy resources, electrification (built environment and transportation), decarbonization, energy equity, program planning, evaluation, and market research. You excel at presenting top notch research and findings in reports, client presentations, or analytical models and will help facilitate policy and technical exchanges among decision-makers.

The successful candidate will develop analytically advanced methods for estimating demand-side management resource potential and produce detailed client deliverables used to inform technical decision making, short-term programs, and long-term resource planning.
