Manager Transmission Rebuilder Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description

Fervo Energy is advancing the next generation of geothermal energy to deliver 24/7 carbon-free power at scale. We combine subsurface engineering, horizontal drilling, and real-time data systems to unlock a clean, reliable energy resource built for the demands of modern power systems.

As Fervo expands its commercial project portfolio across North America, transmission strategy and interconnection execution are critical to enabling project delivery and long-term asset value. The Transmission & Interconnection team leads the development of grid & BTM integration strategies, interconnection pathways, and transmission solutions that support Fervo's growing deployment pipeline.

The Transmission & Interconnection Manager position will lead the strategy, evaluation, and execution of behind-the-meter interconnection activities across Fervo's project portfolio. This role will serve as a key member of the Transmission & Interconnection team, supporting customer-facing interconnection efforts, transmission analysis, and grid integration strategy for commercial geothermal projects.

This role will own the development and standardization of behind-the-meter interconnection requirements, coordinate directly with utilities and customers, and support projects from early-stage feasibility assessment through agreement execution and operational readiness. This role operates at the intersection of technical execution, commercial development, and transmission strategy.
