Allegheny Science & Technology (AST) is seeking an Export Authorization Analyst to support the Grid Deployment Office (GDO) within the Department of Energy. This position is 100% remote nationwide and will support EST standard business hours (8:00 – 5:00 PM EST). The individual selected for this role will work on issuance of DOE’s Export Authorizations.

The Grid Deployment Office works to catalyze the development of new and upgraded electric infrastructure across the country by maintaining and investing in critical generation facilities; developing and upgrading high-capacity electric transmission lines nationwide; and deploying transmission and distribution infrastructure and technologies. GDO acts as a partner with states, Tribes, territories, industry, communities, and other energy sector stakeholders to deploy solutions to lower energy costs and improve grid reliability and resilience. 

GDO also analyzes, notices, and acts upon applications for Electricity Exports; and evaluates proposed exports of electric energy to ensure the proposed export would not impair the sufficiency of electric power supply within the U.S. or would not impede or tend to impede the coordinated use of the U.S. power supply network.

Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Analyze, draft, and route Export Authorization decisions.  
  • Review the Export Authorization applications and other relevant documents and assist the Federal Permitting Team to ensure that each application demonstrates sufficient generating resources such that the exporter could sustain the export while maintaining adequate generating resources to meet all firm supply obligations.

  • Develop drafts of application, transmittal letters, and orders for each Export Authorization Application. Draft decision memos for each document that requires a signature. Draft ad hoc documents as appropriate (responses to intervenor requests, Extension Orders, Recission Orders, etc.).
  • Conduct final copy edits and manage internal routing and publishing of Export Authorization related documents.
  • Function as a liaison between the FPP team and the contractor team that manages website updates. Coordinate with FPP staff on a regular basis and communicate updates to the web team. Perform regular website audits to ensure documents are published correctly and timely.
  • Develop communication assets for external engagements related to EA work.

Required Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field and a minimum of seven (7) years of relevant experience are required. Additional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • Experience drafting energy-related proposed decisions or orders at FERC, a State Public Utility Commission, or related entity.
  • Demonstrated communication skills, both verbal and written. Must have legal writing skills, the ability to deliver information in a concise manner, and strong copy/editing ability.
  • Knowledge of electricity markets and power marketing companies.
  • Experience coordinating internal routing and approvals on tight deadlines.

Other Qualifications:

  • U.S. Citizenship is required. 

Multiple factors contribute to determining the final pay for a position. These include, but are not limited to, relevant work experience, skills, certifications, and competencies that align with the specific role, geographic location, educational background, and contract provisions related to labor categories specific to the position. We are committed to offering a competitive compensation package that reflects the value and expertise that each candidate brings to our team. 

The pay range for this position based on full-time employment is $95,000 - $115,000.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
