[Hiring] Infrastructure & Energy Research Specialist @AlphaHire

Role Description

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.

• 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

Qualifications

• 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

Requirements

• 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
