Infrastructure & Energy Research Specialist (Public Sector)

AlphaGov is seeking an Infrastructure & Energy Research Specialist for project-based engagements with utilities, transit agencies, ports, state energy offices, municipalities, and related public or quasi-public clients.
You will lead or support market-feasibility, demand, project-pipeline, workforce-needs, and resilience research tied to infrastructure and energy systems. Licensed engineering practice is only required when a solicitation demands it; most AlphaGov scopes are research and analysis, not stamped design.
What you'll do:
- Lead or support infrastructure/energy research studies (feasibility, demand, pipeline analysis, resilience, workforce implications)
- Synthesize technical, economic, and policy sources into decision-ready reports
- Partner with economists, GIS analysts, and sector operators when scopes require multi-discipline teams
- Support AlphaGov proposals with accurate sector framing and named-expert narratives (when permissioned)
- Flag when a solicitation requires PE/licensed professionals and help structure compliant teams
- Prefer subcontract/partner posture on mega-capital programs until AlphaGov has matching corporate past performance
Requirements
Required:
- 5+ years infrastructure, energy, utility, transit, or resilience research/analysis (consulting, agency, or research org)
- At least two completed public or quasi-public sector studies you can cite (client/agency, your role, year)
- Strong writing and ability to explain technical findings to non-engineers
- Willingness to be named on proposals when expertise aligns and permission is granted
Nice to have:
- PE, CEM, AICP, GISP, or related credential (when licenses required)
- GIS / spatial analysis for pipeline or resilience studies
- Clean-energy, grid, water, or transit workforce studies
- Federal/state energy-office or utility commission experience
