Job description

Our data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently delivers our innovative services. Meta’s Global Energy Team is seeking a commercially-experienced and technically-grounded energy professional to help develop and structure behind-the-meter (BTM) onsite generation solutions that accelerate data center capacity deployment.The Energy Manager (Onsite Generation Solutions) will own the origination and commercial development of onsite generation deals: building relationships with independent power producers and generation equipment manufacturers, validating that generation technologies meet the company’s requirements, confirming the supporting fundamentals are in place (gas supply, land, water, and permitting), and structuring and executing commercial agreements — including power purchase agreements (PPAs) — that deliver reliable, cost-competitive power outside traditional grid interconnection timelines. This role serves as one of the company’s subject matter experts on BTM generation — natural gas turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, and related technologies — and supports downstream delivery, permitting, and operations teams as projects move from signed deal through construction and into operation.The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of originating and structuring onsite or distributed generation deals, with demonstrated commercial and technical expertise across the generation project lifecycle. Experience at an independent power producer, behind-the-meter provider, or large-scale industrial or data center energy organization — structuring 50+ MW of generation capacity — is strongly preferred.
Energy Manager - Onsite Generation Solutions Responsibilities:
  • Serve as one of the company’s subject matter experts on onsite and behind-the-meter generation, leading the identification, structuring, negotiation, and execution of commercial arrangements — power purchase agreements (PPAs), tolling agreements, capacity contracts, and equipment leases — with independent power producers, generation developers, and equipment manufacturers
  • Build and grow strategic relationships with independent power producers, generation equipment manufacturers, engineering and construction firms, fuel suppliers, utilities, and regulators, serving as the primary commercial interface to the generation market
  • Evaluate and validate generation technologies — gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and fuel cells — for fit against reliability, output, cost, and deployment requirements
  • Assess deal feasibility by confirming the supporting fundamentals are in place — gas supply, land, water, and a viable permitting pathway — ahead of commercial commitment
  • Develop and maintain total-cost-of-ownership frameworks on a $/MWh and $/kW-month basis, benchmarking against grid alternatives to inform deal selection and investment decisions
  • Lead commercial and technical due diligence, partnering with legal counsel to structure deals that manage stranded-asset risk and preserve flexibility as sites transition to permanent grid service
  • Partner with design and engineering teams on generation equipment standardization — evaluating vendors and narrowing specifications toward repeatable, cost-efficient deployment models
  • Partner with site selection teams to evaluate powered-land opportunities and identify locations best positioned for near-term generation deployment
  • Support downstream delivery, permitting, and construction teams through commercial operation — providing deal context, commercial continuity, and issue resolution as the contractual counterpart
  • Support operational integration of commissioned assets — including cutover planning and tracking realized performance and cost against the commercial pro forma to inform future deals
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, design, construction, site development, sustainability, network planning, policy, communications, legal, and finance
  • Ability to travel domestically (approximately 25%)

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in a directly related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, energy, or a related discipline
  • 10+ years of experience in power project development, generation asset delivery, or commercial energy, with direct involvement in onsite or distributed generation projects
  • Demonstrated experience structuring and negotiating commercial energy agreements (e.g., power purchase agreements) from origination through execution
  • Experience structuring, negotiating, or managing generation projects involving gas turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, or similar behind-the-meter technologies
  • Experience contributing to generation projects across multiple lifecycle phases — origination, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, or commercial operation
  • Experience working with project economics and financial models, identifying key cost drivers and sensitivities, and supporting commercial and technical due diligence
  • Working knowledge of air permitting, environmental compliance, and utility interconnection processes — including strategies to accelerate or bypass traditional interconnection timelines
  • Experience representing business interests to leadership teams of suppliers, utilities, government agencies, and regulatory bodies
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams, contractors, and external partners
  • Experience communicating commercial, regulatory, technical, and contractual details to all organizational levels
  • Proficiency in standard document and analytics platforms (Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with generation equipment procurement, manufacturer negotiations, and supply chain management for power assets at portfolio scale
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • Direct experience developing or operating islanded, microgrid, or off-grid power solutions for mission-critical facilities
  • 15+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Experience at an independent power producer, behind-the-meter generation provider, or large-scale industrial or data center energy team, with responsibility for scaling distributed generation programs serving large campus loads (50+ MW aggregate)
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
  • Deep experience leading air permitting and environmental compliance for generation assets through local, state, and federal agencies
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Knowledge of natural gas supply logistics, fuel contracting, and gas-to-power economics
  • Engineering Degree, MBA or J.D
