You will transform the engineering function from a project-by-project service into a standardized, high-throughput engine. By implementing AI-driven design tools and a Standard Basis of Design (SBoD), you will ensure the team can increase its screening capacity without a linear increase in headcount. You will leverage the Grid Integration team as Pivot’s "reconnaissance unit," utilizing predictive modeling and utility relationship management to identify high-probability interconnection nodes before capital is committed to site acquisition. As a senior leader at a Certified B Corporation, you will provide the Board and investors with data-driven transparency into pipeline health, ensuring that every megawatt built delivers on our commitment to a net-positive impact on our planet and communities.

Evaluate and audit incoming IX studies for accuracy, technically challenging utility upgrade assumptions to unlock congested grid capacity and minimize Pivot's capital expenditure. Develop rigorous technical 'go/no-go' frameworks to quickly de-risk the pipeline and pivot resources away from low-probability interconnection queues.Executive Oversight: Develop, monitor, and report on annual team objectives, ensuring alignment with Pivot’s top-line annual goals. Develop and report business analytics to drive enhanced decision-making, solutions development, and operational enhancements using Pivot’s software solutions.
