We are partnering with one of America’s most influential technology, energy, and advanced manufacturing companies to appoint a Project Developer focused on utility-scale solar PV, battery storage, and emerging powered land opportunities across North America.
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious development professional to join a highly experienced team responsible for originating, evaluating and advancing major energy infrastructure projects.
Company Overview
Our client is one of the world’s most recognized technology and energy businesses, with established capabilities across advanced manufacturing, battery technology, energy storage and sustainable energy infrastructure.
Combining world-class engineering, significant financial resources and an ambitious approach to growth, the company is continuing to expand its energy project development and acquisition activities across North America.
As electricity demand accelerates, driven by electrification, AI infrastructure, data centers and industrial growth, the business is investing in the people and capabilities required to secure and advance the next generation of energy infrastructure projects.
The Opportunity
This position will support the development and acquisition of utility-scale solar PV, battery energy storage and powered land projects, with a particular focus on the Western United States, Southwest, SPP and ERCOT markets.
You will work across multiple stages of the project development lifecycle, from initial site identification and land control through interconnection, permitting, commercial evaluation and construction readiness.
Working alongside experienced developers and senior commercial leadership, you will also gain exposure to project acquisitions, due diligence and the growing powered land market.
The role offers a combination of hands-on development responsibility, commercial exposure and the opportunity to build a broader understanding of complex energy infrastructure transactions.
This could be an excellent next step for someone currently working as a Project Developer, Development Manager or Development Associate who wants to take on greater ownership within a highly ambitious organization.
What You’ll Do
• Support the origination and development of utility-scale solar PV, battery storage and powered land projects across key North American markets
• Identify and evaluate potential development sites, land opportunities and project acquisitions
• Manage greenfield development activities, including land control, interconnection, permitting and stakeholder engagement

• Work closely with engineering, legal, finance and other internal teams to advance projects towards construction readiness
• Track project schedules, development budgets, permitting requirements and commercial milestones
• Contribute to market analysis and the identification of new opportunities across WECC, the Southwest, SPP and ERCOT
Ideal Candidate Profile
• Approximately 3–8 years of experience in renewable energy, battery storage or utility-scale project development
• Hands-on greenfield development experience across solar PV, BESS or other energy infrastructure projects
• Understanding of land acquisition, site control, interconnection, permitting and the wider project development lifecycle
• Experience working with utilities, landowners, consultants and other development stakeholders
• Exposure to Western U.S. energy markets, including WECC, the Southwest, SPP or ERCOT, would be advantageous
• Experience supporting project acquisitions, M&A due diligence or commercial transactions would be beneficial but is not essential
• Exposure to powered land, large-load infrastructure or data center-related power development would be an advantage
• Strong analytical, organizational and commercial skills
• Ability to manage multiple development activities and work effectively with cross-functional teams
• A proactive, independent approach with the ambition to take on increasing responsibility
• Strong communication skills and a genuine interest in energy infrastructure and project development
