ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE WITH A TEAM OF ENGAGED, CREATIVE COLLEAGUES TO DELIVER INDUSTRY-LEADING SOLUTIONS TO GRID MODERNIZATION?

DNV is growing its grid modernization service offering to provide customers with strategic advisory support as they adapt their transmission and distribution networks to be resilient, reliable, flexible, secure, and equitable. DNV is seeking a Grid Modernization Business Development Leader to lead business development efforts for this service, working with new and existing customers throughout planning, integration, monitoring, and operation of grid modernization efforts to incorporate increased electrification, expansion of clean energy generation and storage resources, and general grid expansion. This includes efforts around distribution planning, Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) and Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) advisory, standardization of data protocols (such as the Common Information Model or CIM), and integration of benefit cost assessment (BCA) frameworks that consider advanced grid solutions alongside traditional assets.
The Business Development Leader will be responsible for growing key services and will have a strong market and customer focus. You will manage customer relations, customer feedback, and help the Grid Modernization team develop and execute on the strategy to expand services. Collaborating closely with other leaders, you will be responsible for developing targeted key services in grid modernization.
