  • Oversee site and environmental studies, surveys, and due diligence reporting.
  • Manage contractor and consultant selection processes in partnership with construction management.
  • Lead project handoffs to the execution team upon full development and permitting completion.
  • Provide guidance and review on project finance diligence requests.
  • Evaluate potential project acquisitions and provide development risk assessments.
  • Manage project budget expenditures and additional resource needs throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Contribute to Business Development pipeline reporting and strategic planning.

Skills and Qualifications

  • 6 to 10 years of project development experience in renewable energy, with demonstrated experience managing wind projects at scale.
  • Undergraduate degree required; fields such as renewable energy, engineering, urban planning, finance, business, or project management preferred. Advanced degree a plus.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage competing priorities across multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Deep knowledge of wind project development, including interconnection processes, permitting frameworks, contracting, and utility coordination across MISO, SPP, and/or ERCOT.
  • Strong financial acumen, including budget ownership and development cost management.
  • Excellent communication skills, including executive-level presentations, public speaking, and stakeholder negotiation.
  • Ability to influence without direct authority across all organizational levels.
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information.
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 40%, with flexibility for project-driven increases.
  • Experience with CRM systems and development pipeline reporting tools.
