Position Summary:
The Senior Director of Energy Markets & Grid Integration will spearhead Highland’s strategic initiatives aimed at maximizing the grid value of our expanding electric fleet while developing the necessary energy capabilities for these fleets to function as distributed grid resources.
This pivotal role interfaces with utilities, Independent System Operators (ISOs), Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs), regulators, and technology partners in the distributed energy sector, transforming energy market prospects into actionable programs that generate value for school districts, utilities, and the grid.
