Job Type: Full time

A director in grid connections typically needs a firm grasp of how generators, storage and large loads are studied and approved for connection to the network, plus the commercial sense to run deals and relationships with developers and utilities. A strong candidate brings a track record of steering connection projects through technical review and negotiation, and can speak credibly with engineers and executives alike. At a company building a physics based digital twin of the electricity network, that means comfort with simulation and modelling as the basis for faster, better informed connection decisions.How it fits the AI eraConnection work is heavy on studies, data gathering and paperwork, and AI plus simulation can speed up screening, scenario testing and document handling. What stays human is judgement on risk, negotiation with developers and utilities, and accountability for decisions that affect the grid.



The role shifts toward framing the right questions and interpreting model output rather than grinding through every case by hand.How it builds AI experienceWorking here would build familiarity with physics based simulation and digital twins applied to real grid connection questions, which is a growing niche. A candidate can prepare by learning how network models, load flow and scenario tools are used in connection studies, and by getting hands on with data and simulation workflows. Understanding how AI assists screening and analysis, while keeping engineering judgement central, is the practical grounding to build.Worth showingGrid connection process knowledgeSimulation and modelling fluencyEnergy transition awarenessThis is our own read, written from the employer's posting and the company's Spotlight.
