  • Strategy and Value Proposition
    • Be the technical interface with large load customers
    • Define strategies (which type of offtakes to target) for large load/data center applications including transient for load smoothing, frequency/voltage ride through and other applicable modes.
    • Support build-out and preparing of techno-economic models optimizing revenue, capex, opex and technical design constraints
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
    • Partner directly with the VP of Business Development and T&I Director to draft and execute technical exhibits for offtake agreements.
Qualifications & Competencies:
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Power Systems Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
  • Experience: A minimum of 5 years in technical sales, applications engineering or systems engineering in renewable energy or critical power industry. Direct experience in data center power systems highly preferred.
  • Location & Availability: Preference to be based in one of GridStor’s hub offices in Portland, Los Angeles or Denver, and to work a hybrid schedule.
  • Organizational Skills: Exceptional organizational abilities with keen attention to detail. Capable of managing multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced environment and seeing delegated projects through to completion.
  • Adaptability: Ability to be agile and flexible, readily taking on tasks outside the typical scope of the role as needed.
  • Confidentiality: Proven ability to handle highly confidential information with utmost discretion.
  • Integrity & Judgment: Strong track record of excellent judgment and integrity in previous roles.
  • Technical Proficiency: Proficiency in AutoCad, Bluebeam, or SKM for electrical design; Experience in dynamic grid modeling (PSCAD or similar) highly beneficial.
  • Understanding of industry best practices for designing and building utility-scale energy storage projects. Knowledge of codes and standards as it relates to data centers / large loads design including grid interconnect
  • Commercial Acumen: Proven track record of supporting successful B2B contract negotiations, RFI/RFP’s and customer-facing presentations
  • Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written and interpersonal communication skills, and ability to effectively work with cross functional stakeholders.
  • Problem-Solving: Adaptable, with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively and approach challenges with a creative, proactive mindset.
  • Team Orientation: Highly motivated to support and collaborate with team members, contributing to collective success.
Compensation and Benefits:
  • GridStor offers an attractive Total Rewards package, including:
    • Competitive base salaries commensurate with experience with an annual cash bonus (based on Company and individual performance)
    • Generous paid leave
    • Employee participation in Long Term Incentive Plan
    • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, including coverage for domestic partners and eligible domestic partner children
    • HSA/FSA for participating employees
    • 401(k) plan with company match and immediate vesting
    • Continuing education and professional development
    • Cellphone reimbursement, hybrid work environment, healthy snacks, volunteer opportunities, company outings, and more.
Company Operating Principles:
GridStor’s Operating Principles represent who we are, how we work, and what we believe.

We Collaborate.  We believe trust is given, not earned. We honor each other’s zone of genius and seek to challenge ideas, not each other. We listen to each other’s points of view and work hard to find the better solution. We are one team.

We Are Humble. We like hard work, but don’t make work hard. We know we have a lot to learn and never grandstand or take up all the space in the room. We are kind. We are welcoming. We are inspired by our mission to decarbonize the grid.

We Create the Future. We are curious. We go deep, search for the best idea, and then move fast. We always focus on the few things that matter most. We know there will be setbacks, so we show up every day ready to learn and be better, together.

We Show Up for Each Other. We keep each other fully informed. We seek to understand. We coach, we don’t blame. We share our points of view and seek to make each other better every day. We believe everyone creates culture in every moment, every day.

We Do Hard Things. We view challenges as opportunities. We are resilient. We are all owners, and we act like it. We understand change requires taking risks and we push ourselves and our partners. We do what is right as opposed to what might be best for any one of us.
