National Grid is hiring a Senior Analyst for our Clean Energy department in Brooklyn or Syracuse NY.

Every day we deliver safe and secure energy to homes, communities, and businesses. We are there when people need us the most. We connect people to the energy they need for the lives they live. The pace of change in society and our industry is accelerating and our expertise and track record puts us in an unparalleled position to shape the sustainable future of our industry. To be successful we must anticipate the needs of our customers, reducing the cost of energy delivery today and pioneering the flexible energy systems of tomorrow. This requires us to deliver on our promises and always look for new opportunities to grow, both ourselves and our business.

New York's energy system is undergoing a historic transformation driven by ambitious state policy goals, evolving market dynamics, and customer demand for clean energy. Over the next fifteen years, the state aims to electrify large portions of its economy while decarbonizing the power sector. Achieving these goals will require a modernized, policy-aligned transmission system capable of delivering clean energy reliably and equitably across the state.

The New York Clean Energy Development team plays a pivotal role in this transition by advancing transmission infrastructure projects that align with state policy and regulatory objectives. We work closely with internal planning and regulatory teams, as well as external stakeholders, to identify, justify, and advocate for transmission investments that support clean energy delivery, grid reliability, and economic development.

* The Upstate Upgrade - a $4 billion initiative to rebuild and modernize 1,000 miles of high-voltage transmission in Upstate New York by 2030, aligned with NYISO and state policy priorities.

* Transportation Electrification - planning and policy engagement to support grid infrastructure for highway fast-charging and other high-impact EV corridors.

* Grid Enhancing Technologies - the grid of the future will require enhanced technologies to safely and reliably operate the network and deliver power to our customers.

The Senior Analyst - Commercial Development will focus on originating and advancing transmission-related investments that enable clean energy delivery and support state climate and reliability goals. This includes leading policy-aligned system studies, developing business cases, engaging in regulatory proceedings, and shaping transmission policy to unlock future infrastructure needs.
