• Translate electrical load projections into accurate turbine-level natural gas demand forecasts

• Develop, refine, and improve gas consumption forecasting models and methodologies

• Incorporate operational variables including turbine efficiency curves, ambient conditions, ramp profiles, and operating constraints into fuel demand calculations

• Analyze forecast variances, identify root causes, and continuously improve forecast accuracy

Gas Scheduling & Supply Coordination

• Manage daily, monthly, and forward natural gas nominations supporting multiple gas-fired generation assets

• Coordinate with pipelines, suppliers, marketers, and strategic account managers to maintain reliable gas supply and transportation capacity

• Analyze imbalance charges, spot purchases, excess sales activity, and forecast deviations

• Monitor natural gas market fundamentals, pricing trends, volatility, and regional basis movements

• Support commercial and risk management teams with procurement strategy, hedging considerations, and fuel cost exposure analysis

• Provide operational insight into longer-term fuel supply planning and reliability strategy

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Communicate forecast changes, fuel risks, and financial impacts to technical and business leadership teams

• Partner with engineering, operations, finance, risk, and trading teams to align operational needs with commercial strategy

• Investigate forecasting misses and process inefficiencies while driving operational improvements

• Recommend enhancements to forecasting tools, scheduling workflows, and supporting systems

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Energy Management, Finance, Economics, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience

• 3 years of experience in natural gas scheduling, fuel management, power generation operations, energy trading support, or related energy infrastructure environments

• Strong understanding of natural gas markets, pipeline nomination processes, transportation logistics, and supply coordination

• Experience supporting gas-fired power generation assets strongly preferred

• Advanced analytical and modeling skills with strong Excel proficiency

• Experience with ETRM systems or energy management platforms is a plus

• Strong financial and operational acumen with the ability to connect market activity to business impact
