RMI is seeking an exceptional person to fill the position of Consultant who will focus largely on our electricity work.

RMI's electric program is designed to help drive the elimination of fossil fuels in the electric sector by creating a credible vision of what the no-carbon system could be, developing viable solutions to key technical, economic, and regulatory barriers, and collaborating with electric utilities and their regulators to understand and implement a path forward. We use quantitative analysis to analyze system interactions and make strategic recommendations to our partners and clients.

This position's primary job responsibility will be to conduct highly quantitative modeling, analysis and reporting. As such, reporting, communications and interpersonal skills are critical.

This position is based in Boulder.
Key Responsibilities

* Be a core researcher on one or more components of the future electric system
* Design and create approaches and quantitative models to effectively address key questions and challenges posed by our research goals and clients
* Develop hypotheses to guide your work, and propose new ways to analyze problems
* Structure and guide the work of more junior team members
* Synthesize recommendations into clear and compelling presentations and written reports
* Present quantitative information in a clear, visual format
* Engage with external experts and stakeholders through conference presentations, topical expertise for media requests, outreach to RMI donors, and direct collaboration on RMI research

Qualifications

* Graduate degree or equivalent in engineering (mechanical, electrical, civil, energy), economics, computer science, mathematics, or physical sciences
* At least 3 years of prior work experience
* Experience or solid knowledge base in one or more relevant electrical system areas including:
o Building energy efficiency
o Energy efficiency programs
o Enewable energy
o Grid integration
o Demand-side management
o Utility resource planning & strategy
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Understanding of basic financial analysis and metrics (NPV, cash flow, etc.)
* Prior experience in consulting and project management
* Intense curiosity and creativity
* Ability to work independently
* Willingness to plunge into unfamiliar disciplines
* Willingness to take risks by exploring and testing new ideas
* A passion for making the world better

The goal of the Consultant position is to begin with specific project tasks but develop the capability to manage and lead tasks and projects. The Consultant will initially be given a significant role on a larger project and expected to conduct analysis, communicate results to the team, articulate questions or issues to consider, and document his or her work in a deliverable. Over time, this individual is expected to manage increasingly complex pieces of analytical work with more responsibility as he or she successfully demonstrates competency with each assigned project.
Examples of Recent RMI Consultant Work

* Analyzed the current state of the solar photovoltaic industry, developed a hypothesis of how to drive growth through cost reductions, and designed an innovation workshop to bring together leading industry experts to identify strategies to reduce balance of system costs
* Designed scenarios for use in developing a greenhouse gas strategy for a large investor-owned utility, and provided expertise to the project team in resource valuation
* Identified major drivers of distributed benefits, developed a new approach to categorizing them in a way that is more accessible and actionable by utilities, and collaborated with external experts to explore methodologies for valuing them
