• Regulatory Compliance: Work with policy and regulatory SMEs to stay updated on relevant and evolving federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and industry standards that affect microgrid and community solar development and operations. Support the Compliance & Risk Manager in interpreting, analyzing the impact, and disseminating this information to internal teams.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Obtain and interpret project details for existing and prospective projects to integrate regulatory compliance, operational limitations, and risk management within internal teams and the project lifecycle.
• Risk Assessment: Assist in conducting project and revenue risk assessments, identifying current and future operational and financial risks in collaboration with the Compliance & Risk Manager.
• Audits and Inspections: Support in organizing and facilitating internal audits, inspections, and regulatory reporting processes. Help prepare materials for external audits and inspections as needed.
• Reporting and Monitoring: Assist in developing and implementing monitoring and reporting processes to measure compliance across different microgrid, community solar, and other distributed energy projects.
• Training and Awareness: Assist in organizing training sessions for internal teams, ensuring that all employees are informed about risk management best practices and compliance expectations.
