AlphaGov delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits — not speculative staffing banks.

AlphaGov is engaging a Transit Bus Electrification Specialist for current transit-agency battery-electric bus and depot charging work. You will advise on bus technology selection, depot charging strategy, block scheduling impacts, and facility readiness for zero-emission fleets.

We confirm scope, schedule, and fee with you before any engagement begins.

What you'll do

• Assess transit routes, blocks, and duty cycles for battery-electric or other zero-emission bus suitability
• Recommend bus technology, battery sizing, and charging strategies (depot, opportunity, pantograph)
• Plan depot yard layouts, charger counts, power needs, and phased cutovers that protect service
• Analyze maintenance, training, spare ratios, and workforce impacts of fleet electrification
• Support capital plans, funding narratives, and FTA or state transit electrification applications
• Brief transit operations, maintenance, and executive leaders on tradeoffs and implementation risks
• Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when you authorize naming

Apply to be considered.

Requirements

Required

• Working knowledge of battery-electric bus operations, block scheduling impacts, and depot power needs
• Ability to produce recommendations transit operations and facilities leaders can implement
• Comfortable as a 1099 project-based consultant, remote-first with occasional depot or agency visits

Nice to have

• Transit agency, OEM, or consulting experience on BEB, FCEB, or depot electrification projects
• Familiarity with FTA Low-No, TIRCP, or state transit electrification funding programs
• Experience with managed charging, pantograph, or in-route opportunity charging systems
