 The BCS Allegient Societal Considerations and Impacts (SCI) group seeks to add a professional with experience assessing community benefits (CB) of clean energy technology projects. Effective evaluation requires understanding of potential impacts and benefits of these projects on local communities due to the development and operation of facilities, plants, and other related infrastructure. The role involves analysis and reporting on project outcomes and risks, effectiveness of existing mitigations or plans, and advise on implementation of community engagement and feedback processes.

It is critical to understand and address the societal considerations and impacts of these projects at local, regional, and global levels. Project proposals are solicited through Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) that require development of Community Benefits Plans (CBPs), which describe actions for: community and stakeholder engagement; diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA); environmental justice; and attracting, training, and retaining a diverse workforce to create quality jobs.
