Job Description

Job Title: Attorney


Job Type: Part-Time, Contractor

Hours: Flexible, you pick the hours

Location: Remote - East Coast U.S. candidates preferred

Practice Focus: PJM, FERC, generator interconnection, site control, and energy infrastructure permitting, etc.



Job Summary


We are seeking a senior energy regulatory attorney to provide expert legal review for advanced AI systems focused on energy permitting, site control, and generator interconnection workflows.


Our goal is to build AI as an tool for humans, not a replacement.


This is not a traditional litigation, drafting, or client-counseling role. It is best suited for an attorney with deep PJM/FERC experience who can review complex project documentation, identify regulatory gaps, resolve escalated reviewer questions, and produce clear legal findings in a structured format.

No prior AI experience is required. Your legal and regulatory judgment is the core requirement.



Key Responsibilities


  1. Provide senior-level legal review and final validation of site control, interconnection, and permitting-related documentation for energy infrastructure projects.
  2. Assess whether project materials align with PJM generator interconnection procedures, queue-readiness expectations, site control requirements, and applicable FERC-regulated processes.
  3. Review escalated issues flagged by Tier 1 legal reviewers, including incomplete site control evidence, inconsistent project filings, unclear permitting status, or potential interconnection compliance gaps.
  4. Analyze documentation related to utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, transmission, and large-load or generation interconnection projects in PJM and adjacent East Coast markets.
  5. Deliver concise legal findings, risk flags, and structured determinations for client-facing review workflows.
  6. Help improve review rubrics, issue-spotting guidelines, and decision frameworks used by lower-tier reviewers.

Required Qualifications


  1. Active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  2. 8+ years of legal experience in energy regulatory, power, infrastructure, project development, or related legal practice.
  3. Direct experience with PJM interconnection processes, including generator interconnection requests, queue participation, site control, readiness requirements, or interconnection agreement workflows.
  4. Strong working knowledge of FERC-regulated transmission and generation interconnection frameworks.
  5. Experience reviewing legal, regulatory, land, permitting, or project development documentation for energy infrastructure projects.
  6. Ability to provide practical legal judgment in a structured review environment without requiring extensive supervision.
  7. East Coast-based or substantial experience with East Coast / PJM-region energy infrastructure matters.
