Press Release
INPOWERD is seeking a Principal-level Consultant with deep, hands-on expertise in NERC Operations and Planning Reliability Standards to join our growing consulting practice.
This is a senior, trusted-advisor role for an experienced professional who has lived inside real-time operations, planning, or regulatory oversight and understands how NERC standards are applied in the real world, not just how they are written.
The ideal candidate brings:
• Extensive experience with NERC Operations and Planning Reliability Standards (such as TOP, IRO, BAL, FAC, TPL, PRC as applicable)
• Practical background in system operations, planning, or compliance leadership
• The ability to translate regulatory requirements into practical, sustainable internal controls
• Experience supporting or leading audits, self-reports, mitigation, and regulator engagement
• Executive-level communication skills and the credibility to advise senior leaders
At INPOWERD, we do not sell templates or checklists. We help clients simplify regulatory complexity, strengthen culture and accountability, and reduce reliability risk through experience-based consulting grounded in trust and integrity.
If you are a seasoned Operations and Planning professional who wants to apply your expertise in a high-impact, values-driven consulting environment and work alongside former operators, planners, and regulators, we want to hear from you.
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit your resume to:
Robyn Wilder, Director of Business Operations
