Massachusetts Veterans Jobs

As a member of Eversource’s Advanced Modeling and Forecasting team, you will help to influence, to shape, and to optimize billions of dollars of grid investments over the next decade, ensuring our safe and effective transition into a clean energy future while providing highest standards of reliability and resiliency. The team strives for "best in class" data, analytics, and application practices, to help Eversource build the most advanced Distributed Energy Resources (DER) forecasting in the nation from the ground up.

As an Engineer, you will specialize in Distributed Energy Resources (DER) forecasting and power system impacts with a focus on emerging technologies (PV, EV, heat pumps). You will work with cross-functional teams to develop and implement advanced forecasting methodologies. By building a best-in-class electric distribution system analytics hub for actionable insights, you will drive strategic decision-making; around capital infrastructure investments, regulatory and rate case engagements, reliability and resiliency investments, and more. Your team members are data scientists and engineers who develop forecast models for electric vehicles, heat pumps and other new load and generation resources to inform Eversource’s capital investments.
