Utility Interconnection & Grid Strategy Leader

Opportunity profile

We are building our network of utility interconnection and grid strategy leaders for data centre and large-load development across Canada.

As utilities and system operators introduce new study, allocation, and curtailment frameworks for large loads, interconnection and grid strategy have become central to digital infrastructure development. You will have advanced transmission or distribution service for large loads and know how to manage study milestones, upgrade scope, commercial terms, and cross-functional stakeholders.
