  • Demonstrated experience working with energy utilities on issues related to risk management, asset management, strategic and long-range planning, project finance, or regulatory issues
  • Experience working with generation, transmission, and distribution aspects of the energy system, including familiarity with technical aspects of a wide range of energy asset types

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
