Energy Director

Most days tend to involve a blend of strategy work, procurement and partnership conversations, and cross-functional coordination with operations, facilities, finance, and sustainability peers. You'll often spend part of the time on strategic priorities — renewable transition, electrification, energy storage, demand management — and part on operational realities of cost, reliability, and contractual terms.

The hardest part is often the complexity of energy markets and policy combined with the decade-long horizon of meaningful infrastructure decisions. You'll typically navigate the trade-offs between cost, reliability, and sustainability commitments, while staying credible with executives whose carbon and cost goals don't always align cleanly.

People who tend to thrive here are technically literate, commercially fluent, and patient with long-horizon decisions. The trade-off is the regulatory and market volatility of energy work and the visibility of decisions that lock in cost or environmental commitments. If you find satisfaction in shaping how an organization or place sources and uses the energy it depends on, this role sits at a consequential intersection.
