Job Listing: Vice President, Scheduling

The Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) is an innovative renewable power transmission project that will deliver REAL. CLEAN. POWER. to New York. The project will play a key role in the state’s energy transformation, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, creating jobs, and generating billions of dollars in new investment in New York’s economy while also delivering low-cost renewable energy to New York state.

Now proceeding into construction, CHPE is the most powerful project you will never see. It is now supplementing its core team with well driven individuals to ensure that it successfully delivers on its contracted obligation to provide clean energy, resiliency, and environmental responsibility to New York by mid-2026.

Two five-inch-diameter cables will be placed underwater or underground and run 339 miles from the U.S.-Canadian border, south through Lake Champlain, along and under the Hudson River, and eventually ending at a converter station that will be built in Astoria, Queens. The line will deliver 1,250 MW of renewable, reliable, low-cost power to New York City.  CHPE’s route has been carefully designed to minimize its impact on the environment. Burying the line within the waterways, existing roads, and railroad rights of way will keep it out of sight and protect it from extreme weather.
