Attorney

Role

You'll provide expert legal review for advanced AI systems focused on energy permitting, site control, and generator interconnection workflows. This isn't litigation, drafting, or client counseling — it suits a senior attorney with deep PJM/FERC experience who can review complex project documentation, spot regulatory gaps, and produce clear legal findings in a structured format. No prior AI experience is required; your legal and regulatory judgment is the core requirement.

What you'll do

• Provide senior-level legal review and final validation of site control, interconnection, and permitting documentation for energy infrastructure projects.
• Assess whether project materials align with PJM generator interconnection procedures, queue-readiness expectations, site control requirements, and FERC-regulated processes.
• Review escalated issues flagged by Tier 1 reviewers — incomplete site control evidence, inconsistent filings, unclear permitting status, potential compliance gaps.
• Analyze documentation for utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, transmission, and large-load interconnection projects in PJM and adjacent East Coast markets.
• Deliver concise legal findings, risk flags, and structured determinations; help improve the rubrics and issue-spotting guidelines used by lower-tier reviewers.

Required qualifications

• Active bar membership in at least one U.S. Jurisdiction.
• 8+ years in energy regulatory, power, infrastructure, or project development law.
• Direct experience with PJM interconnection processes — generator interconnection requests, queue participation, site control, readiness requirements, or interconnection agreements.
• Strong working knowledge of FERC-regulated transmission and generation interconnection frameworks.
• Ability to apply practical legal judgment in a structured review environment with minimal supervision.
