This leadership role is responsible for developing and executing curtailment strategies, shaping forecasting and optimization workflows, and aligning market-driven decisions with site-level operational needs. This position requires deep knowledge of utility behavior, power system operations, market fundamentals, and industrial load management. Unlike a traditional speculative trading role, this role focuses on operational energy optimization, leveraging price formation, grid conditions, and commercial structures to minimize cost and maximize efficiency. The ideal candidate comes from a utility, power plant, ISO, or merchant generation background, where they have led or executed real-time decisions affecting system dispatch, load balancing, or price exposure management. Key Responsibilities - Strategic Optimization & Leadership - Own Applied Digital’s energy optimization program across North Dakota, including real-time, day-ahead, and intraday decision-making. - Develop optimization strategies tailored to market rules, operational constraints, and facility-level performance characteristics. - Build and maintain a decision-making framework for Operators and support staff to ensure consistent, safe, and financially optimized outcomes. - Lead peak-volatility operational windows (~6–10 AM and ~5–9 PM), ensuring high-quality, time-sensitive decisions. - Partner with Finance, Engineering, Operations, and Data Center Site Leads to align optimization strategy with business outcomes. - Curtailment Strategy & Execution - Determine curtailment windows using day-ahead forecasts, congestion patterns, historical pricing behavior, and weather-driven load variations. - Oversee execution of real-time curtailment actions and verify proper operational compliance. - Review performance of prior-day curtailments, identifying improvement opportunities and updating SOPs. - Implement operational guardrails around ramp rates, cooling cycles, generation interactions (if applicable), and facility constraints. - Market, Utility, & Grid Coordination - Serve as the primary liaison with utilities, cooperatives, transmission providers, and relevant market operators. - Interpret transmission constraints, outage notifications, system advisories, and tariff implications. - Ensure compliance with utility protocols, curtailment communication requirements, and reporting expectations. - Maintain strong working relationships with external market and operations partners. - Analytics, Forecasting, & Operational Intelligence - Collaborate with Analysts to continuously improve load forecasting, weather analysis, LMP prediction models, and congestion risk assessments. - Establish KPIs to track optimization accuracy, response speed, and value capture. - Develop dashboards and reporting workflows to provide leadership with real-time visibility into optimization performance. - Team Development & Cross-Training - Mentor Operators, Analysts, and Schedulers to expand overall real-time coverage capability. - Build structured training programs that teach Operators foundational concepts such as LMP formation, system constraints, curve interpretation, and escalation logic. - Support recruitment efforts for additional optimization team members. Qualifications - 7–10+ years of experience in power system operations, utility/ISO dispatching, power plant control room management, industrial load management, or real-time market operations. - Strong understanding of: - LMP pricing and congestion dynamics - Day-ahead vs. real-time market behavior - Transmission constraints, outages, and grid reliability principles - Industrial or flexible load operations - Experience using SCADA systems, forecasting tools, dispatch consoles, or ISO/utility portals. - Demonstrated ability to make high-pressure operational decisions with financial impact. - Experience in creating SOPs, operational frameworks, or training programs. - Excellent analytical, communication, and cross-functional coordination skills. Preferred Qualifications - Experience managing or leading a real-time operations desk or control room team. - Practical exposure to major wholesale markets such as MISO, SPP, ERCOT, PJM, or CAISO. - Knowledge of data center operations, industrial energy usage, or flexible load assets. - Technical background in forecasting, power modeling, or market analytics. - Experience working with generation assets, transmission operations, or demand response. Physical Requirements - Able to remain in a seated position for an extended period and to lift and carry up to 15 lbs.
