Senior Rates/Tariffs Consultant

Location: Flexible / Partial remote, with availability (though not required) to come to our Massachusetts or Washington DC offices 2–3 days per week

Company: DHInfrastructure

About Us:
DHInfrastructure is an economic consulting firm based in Massachusetts specializing in utility regulation, infrastructure finance, and public-private partnerships in the United States and internationally. We advise consumer advocates, regulators, public utilities, and international development organizations. Our work combines rigorous analysis, real-world impact, and a mission-driven culture.

The Role:
We are seeking a Principal Rates Consultant to lead regulatory assignments related to cost of service, revenue allocation, rate design, and infrastructure policy. This is a senior-level role designed for someone who has 8–12 years of professional experience, including substantial experience supporting or providing testimony in U.S. utility regulatory proceedings.

The successful candidate will lead technical work, mentor junior staff, develop case strategy, and interact directly with clients. There is also significant opportunity to contribute to DHInfrastructure’s international tariff, regulatory reform, and infrastructure advisory projects.

You should apply if you:

  • Have strong opinions on how best to allocate costs in a utility rate case—and can back them up with analysis.

  • Enjoy dissecting rate design proposals, financial models, and tariff schedules.

  • Have experience explaining complex regulatory concepts in plain English to regulators, stakeholders, and colleagues.

  • Can think strategically about case approach, while sweating the small details that make or break testimony.

  • Are looking for the chance to expand into international regulatory work while continuing to lead major U.S. assignments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead regulatory case strategy, analysis, and expert testimony development.

  • Prepare or directly support expert witness testimony for U.S. regulatory proceedings.

  • Conduct or oversee discovery processes (data requests, depositions, cross-examination prep).

  • Manage project teams and mentor junior staff.

  • Support client relationship management and new business development.

  • Contribute technical expertise to international projects involving tariff setting and regulatory reform.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Finance, Engineering, Public Policy, or related field; Master’s preferred.

  • 8–12 years of relevant experience in utility regulation, rate cases, or regulatory consulting.

  • Direct experience with cost of service studies, rate design, and revenue requirement modeling.

  • Substantial experience providing or supporting expert testimony (3–5 cases preferred).

  • Strong writing, modeling, and communication skills.

  • Self-starter with strong organizational and leadership skills.

  • Interest in bringing analytical rigor to both U.S. and international infrastructure projects.

Why DHInfrastructure?

  • Diverse Work: Domestic and international projects in utility regulation, tariff reform, and infrastructure advisory.

  • Flexible Environment: Hybrid work options, team retreats, Friday happy hours, and continuing education support.
