Energy Attorney (FERC and CEC Experience)

The Position
A growing energy storage company is seeking a senior energy attorney to support a small, cross-functional projects team focused on utility-scale project development. This role will begin with a focus on project acquisitions and expand into broader responsibilities across the project lifecycle, including permitting, land use, real estate, and regulatory matters, as projects progress.

The ideal candidate brings a strong project finance background within the energy or infrastructure space and is comfortable operating as a generalist across the project lifecycle, supporting project development, land use, and regulatory workstreams. This role requires close collaboration with engineers and project teams, along with the ability to independently drive legal workstreams in a fast-paced environment.

Targeting an ASAP start date, 40 hours/week for an estimated 2-3 month duration with the potential to extend at reduced hours. This project can be remote. Candidates local to the Denver/Boulder, CO area or San Francisco Bay Area area are a plus. 

The hourly rate for this assignment is expected to be between $120 and $130. This range is an estimate; an employee’s compensation will be based on the employee’s qualifications, skillset, and relevant experience, specific client needs, project requirements, and other considerations permitted by law.
