About this role
OpenTrain is recruiting for a part-time, remote contractor attorney to provide expert legal review for advanced AI systems focused on energy permitting, site control, and generator interconnection workflows. This is a structured document review role, not a traditional litigation or client-counseling engagement, and it is best suited to a senior energy regulatory attorney who can deliver clear, structured legal findings to support AI development in the energy infrastructure space.

What you will do
- Review and validate site control, interconnection, and permitting documentation for energy infrastructure projects at a senior level
- Assess whether project materials align with PJM generator interconnection procedures, queue-readiness expectations, and FERC-regulated processes
- Handle escalated issues from Tier 1 reviewers involving incomplete site control evidence, inconsistent project filings, or interconnection compliance gaps
- Analyze documentation for utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, transmission, and large-load interconnection projects in PJM and adjacent East Coast markets
- Deliver concise legal findings, risk flags, and structured determinations for client-facing review workflows
- Help refine review rubrics, issue-spotting guidelines, and decision frameworks used by lower-tier reviewers

Required skills
- Active bar membership in at least one U. S. jurisdiction
- 8 or more years of legal experience in energy regulatory, power, infrastructure, or project development law
- Direct experience with PJM interconnection processes, including generator interconnection requests, queue participation, and site control requirements
- Strong working knowledge of FERC-regulated transmission and generation interconnection frameworks
- Ability to provide practical legal judgment in a structured review environment without extensive supervision
- East Coast-based or substantial experience with East Coast and PJM-region energy infrastructure matters

Schedule and location
This is a fully remote, part-time contractor role with flexible hours. East Coast U. S. candidates are preferred. No prior AI experience is required.
