  • Interconnection & Grid Strategy
    • Lead projects through interconnection processes (ERCOT and/or other ISOs/RTOs).
    • Coordinate closely with internal engineers and third-party consultants to optimize system design.
    • Manage queue strategy, cost exposure, and network upgrade risks.
  • Commercial Structuring & Transactions
    • Lead negotiation of key development-stage agreements.
    • Support offtake strategy, commercial structuring, and revenue modeling.
    • Coordinate diligence processes for tax equity, debt financing, or asset sale transactions.
    • Present development updates and investment recommendations to executive leadership.
  • Budget & Risk Management
    • Own development budgets and schedules.
    • Identify and proactively mitigate regulatory, commercial, and technical risks.
    • Advance projects to NTP within approved capital and timeline parameters.
  • Leadership & Cross-Functional Coordination
    • Lead cross-functional coordination across development, engineering, finance, and construction teams.
    • Manage external consultants, attorneys, and technical advisors.
    • Serve as senior representative with utilities, regulators, landowners, and community stakeholders.
    • Mentor and develop junior development staff.
  • 10+ years of experience in energy or infrastructure development.
  • Proven track record advancing large-scale energy projects through advanced development stages.
  • Direct experience managing interconnection processes and complex permitting environments.
