About Francis Energy: Francis Energy is a pioneer in the EV (Electric Vehicle) charging industry, having established the nation’s first comprehensive statewide electric vehicle fast-charging network by installing more than 850 fast charging ports throughout the Country. Our mission is to transform the electrification of transportation by ensuring equitable, affordable, reliable, and safe access to public charging stations across America, leaving no community behind. Francis Energy is expanding rapidly throughout the continental U.S., supporting this expansion through a combination of federal grant funding and private partnerships. We are looking for a highly motivated individual who seeks a significant opportunity to join our team and shares our belief in the transformative potential of clean energy to mitigate climate change.

Position Summary: The Utility Feasibility & Economics Analyst role supports early-stage EV charging project development by evaluating electric utility rates, confirming preliminary power availability, assessing transformer lead times, and identifying applicable utility incentive programs. The role is responsible for breaking down complex utility tariffs, riders, and fee structures into clear, standardized utility cost inputs that support feasibility determinations and downstream financial analysis.

This role does not perform project financial modeling or forecasting. Instead, it provides accurate, well-documented utility cost components, assumptions, and constraints to Finance and Project Development to support site screening and advancement decisions. Through a combination of structured analysis and direct utility engagement, the role plays a critical function in determining whether a site is technically feasible and appropriate to advance prior to capital commitment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Analyze electric utility rate schedules applicable to EV charging infrastructure, including:
• Energy (kWh) charges
• Demand (kW) charges
• Time-of-use structures
• Riders, surcharges, and pass-through fees
• Taxes and other miscellaneous charges
• Identify and model all components contributing to the fully burdened monthly utility cost for prospective EV charging sites.
• Compare alternative rate schedules, including EV-specific tariffs, to determine the most cost-effective option.
• Develop and maintain standardized tools and methodologies for utility cost analysis during feasibility.
• Engage directly with electric utilities to:
• Confirm preliminary power availability at specific sites
• Inquire about transformer availability and estimated lead times
• Document utility feedback, assumptions, risks, and constraints clearly for internal feasibility tracking.
• Research utility rebate and incentive programs applicable to EV charging infrastructure.
• Identify incentive eligibility requirements, caps, timelines, and application processes.
• Maintain an internal reference library of utility incentive programs by territory.
• Support Project Development in determining whether sites are technically buildable and economically viable.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Engineering, and external stakeholders as needed to align feasibility assumptions with downstream execution.
• Continuously monitor changes in utility tariffs, programs, and EV-specific offerings and incorporate updates into feasibility processes.

Required Skills:

• Strong understanding of electric utility rate structures, demand charges, and riders.
• Ability to break down complex tariffs into structured, finance-ready inputs.
• Comfort engaging electric utilities directly via phone and email to obtain preliminary technical and planning information.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for analytical breakdowns and structured data outputs (not financial forecasting).
• Strong documentation, organization, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple feasibility analyses simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience is preferred.
• 3+ years of experience analyzing electric utility rates, tariffs, or energy cost structures.
• Demonstrated experience providing utility cost inputs to finance, development teams or other stakeholders.
• Experience working directly with electric utilities or utility-facing stakeholders.
• Experience in EV charging infrastructure, renewable energy, or utility-adjacent industries is desired, but not required.
• Familiarity with DC fast charging load profiles, service classifications, or utility incentive programs is a plus.

Benefits:

• Francis Energy values its people and offers a full range of benefits, including the following:
• 401(k)
• 401(k) Matching
• Medical Insurance (50% employer paid)
• Dental Insurance
• Vision Insurance
• Life Insurance ($25,000 employer paid for employee only)
• FSA
• PTO
• Short Term Disability (100% employer paid)
• Long Term Disability
• TelaDoc (100% employer paid)
