Description
Summary
The Senior Interconnection Manager owns Highland's utility interconnection and new-service program across a large, fast-moving portfolio of battery energy storage (BESS), edge compute, and EV charging sites. Utility diligence, new service applications, and utility coordination sit on the critical path to a build-ready site — this role is accountable for moving them at portfolio scale and on an aggressive timeline.
The Senior Interconnection Manager serves as Highland's primary interface with electric utilities, functionally leads the external partners who perform utility diligence and application work, and builds the relationships, playbooks, and standards that make utility engagement faster and more repeatable across every territory Highland develops in. This is a high-ownership program role. The portfolio is comprised of ~100 (and growing) sites in 20+ states and major utility partners include ComEd, SCE, Ameren, National Grid, NYSEG, Idaho Power, DTE, Entergy, and El Paso.
The Sr. Interconnection Manager sets the pace on utility workstreams, clears roadblocks with utilities before they threaten project schedules, and keeps utility milestones tracking in parallel with design and permitting so that new electrical service is secured when each site needs it.
This position reports to the Vice President, Development & Construction, with an expectation of approximately 20% travel.
