Regulatory Compliance Specialist - NERC Experience Required

Pay: $95,000–$125,000
Location: Downtown Orlando, FL | Fully Onsite

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This Regulatory Compliance Specialist role offers the opportunity to join a mission‑driven, not‑for‑profit wholesale energy organization that supports community‑owned electric utilities throughout Florida and beyond. The organization exists to ensure affordable, reliable power while strengthening the communities it serves—making this an ideal role for a Regulatory Compliance Specialist seeking purpose alongside professional challenge.

As a Regulatory Compliance Specialist, you’ll operate in a highly respected, accountability‑driven environment rooted in public service, transparency, and collaboration. The organization emphasizes safety, integrity, teamwork, and employee development while remaining at the forefront of environmental responsibility and regulatory excellence.

This role is best suited for a Regulatory Compliance Specialist who values precision, enjoys navigating complex regulatory frameworks, and wants their work to directly support resilient, well‑governed communities.
