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.

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.
