Requirements

  • 6+ years consulting or industry experience working with power clients on complex projects.
  • Previous experience managing and supporting the routing and siting of electric transmission projects, particularly in the U.S. Mid‑Atlantic region.
  • Excellent writing, communication, strategic / critical thinking, and people skills.
  • High degree of technical competence and broad knowledge of transmission line siting and construction best practices, with a solid grasp of key impact assessment issues (e.g., wetlands, protected species, visual resources, cultural resources).
  • Well‑developed team‑building and influencing skills, high integrity, and the experience to effectively address client and business needs and challenges.
  • A positive outlook, collaborative mindset, and drive to contribute to ERMs success as a global company.
  • Travel up to 15 percent of the time.
  • For the Principal Consultant, Electric Transmission Routing and Siting position, we anticipate the annual base pay of $104,236 - $137,540 (USD).
