Industry: Power Generation
Level of Experience: 10+
Location: Remote
Job Number: 511
We are seeking a hands-on, experienced development professional to lead development activities for digital infrastructure projects co-located with power generation (natural gas, SMRs, renewables, BESS) as well as standalone power generation assets. This is an individual contributor role. This position takes projects from post-land acquisition and early-stage interconnection and then develops them through to NTP, ensuring all permits, interconnection milestones, and project details are completed.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead mid-stage development of digital infrastructure and power projects—data centers, gas-fired-generation, SMRs, utility-scale solar, BESS, and wind.
- Permitting, environmental surveys, tax abatements, interconnection study packages, and design coordination (to ~30%).
- Coordinate with utilities, ISOs/RTOs (ERCOT, SPP, MISO, PJM), and consultants to advance interconnection and permitting processes.
- Manage third-party consultants for technical inputs and site design.
- Ensure all project development steps are executed on schedule and align with transaction milestones for off-take or project sale.
- Serve as the primary development lead from land control through NTP.
- Support internal strategy discussions related to SMR selection, gas interconnection approaches, and evolving technology pathways.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of mid-stage development experience, with exposure across the full lifecycle from land control to NTP.
- Experience developing utility-scale power projects—solar, gas, or data center-related preferred.
- Deep familiarity with permitting processes and interconnection studies.
- Direct experience working in ERCOT, MISO, SPP, and/or PJM markets is strongly preferred.
- Strong project management skills and ability to work independently with minimal oversight. This is a single-contributor role, not a team lead.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, nimble environment with evolving priorities.
- Must be technology-agnostic—comfortable working on fossil fuel technologies, renewables, battery storage, and nuclear (SMRs).
