Key Responsibilities:

• Lead site identification and advanced feasibility assessments for utility-scale renewable energy projects, integrating resource, environmental, grid interconnection, and economic analysis into strategic go/no-go recommendations.
• Own and manage the full permitting process across local, state, and federal jurisdictions; proactively resolve regulatory challenges and maintain senior-level relationships with agencies.
• Lead negotiations with landowners, utilities, municipalities, First Nations, and government stakeholders; structure and close site control agreements and project support arrangements.
• Develop, own, and actively manage project schedules, budgets, risk registers, and executive-level progress reporting; drive accountability across all workstreams.
• Lead project financial modeling, funding strategy, and the structuring and negotiation of commercial agreements including PPAs, interconnection agreements, and offtake arrangements.
• Serve as the senior cross-functional liaison across engineering, environmental, legal, and finance teams; identify and resolve risks that could impede development milestones.
• Represent the company at public hearings, community meetings, regulatory proceedings, and industry conferences as a senior spokesperson for project objectives and company values.
• Proactively monitor market, policy, and technology trends; translate insights into strategic recommendations that shape the development pipeline.
• Lead pre-construction handoffs, ensuring seamless transitions to construction and delivery teams with full compliance and documentation integrity.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level development team members; contribute to team capability building and knowledge sharing.

Education & Certifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Business, Urban Planning, or a related field; Master's degree strongly preferred.
• PMP, LEED, or other relevant professional certifications are a plus.
• Proficiency with GIS tools, project management platforms, and CRM software (Salesforce, MS Project, Primavera, or equivalent).

Experience & Technical Skills:

• 7–12 years of progressive experience in renewable energy project development, permitting, or project management, with a demonstrated track record of independently closing projects from greenfield through pre-construction.
• Proven ability to advance multiple complex projects simultaneously across site control, permitting, interconnection, and pre-construction phases.
• Deep expertise in feasibility assessment, environmental review, regulatory compliance, and multi-jurisdictional permitting strategies.
• Strong financial acumen including hands-on experience with financial modeling, development budgeting, cost estimation, and structuring commercial agreements.
• Established external relationships with utilities, regulators, landowners, and development consultants.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, with experience in scheduling, database, and project management tools.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to anticipate risks and opportunities across complex, long-horizon projects.
• Highly organized and decisive; able to manage competing priorities across a large portfolio without loss of quality or momentum.
• Exceptional communicator and negotiator; builds lasting trust with landowners, regulators, community stakeholders, and executive leadership.
• Proactive and self-directed; comfortable owning outcomes in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• Collaborative leader who elevates the team around them and operates with a one-company mindset.
• Resilient and solutions-oriented, with a track record of navigating and overcoming complex project obstacles.
