Development Project Manager Energy Storage - Consultant
Motive Companies, Denver, Colorado, United States, 80285
Details: Help advance a multi-state portfolio of front-of-the-meter battery energy storage (BESS) projects from site control through LNTP-coordinating cross-functional workstreams, managing consultants, and keeping scope, schedule, and budget on track. This role is task-heavy: turn diligence findings into clear actions, unblock permitting and interconnection tasks, and keep leadership current on risk, cost, and critical path.
What you'll do
Project Execution & Coordination Run day-to-day development activities for an assigned set of BESS projects (early/mid-stage → LNTP). Build and manage integrated schedules, decision logs, risk registers, and permit matrices; maintain weekly status and look-ahead. Entitlements & Community Drive entitlement pathways (pre-apps, zoning/CUP, site plans, fire/life-safety reviews) with outside planners, code/FS engineers, and local counsel. Coordinate with internal Government Affairs/Communications to support stakeholder outreach and public meeting readiness. Interconnection Support Coordinate interconnection inputs (one-lines, POIs, load letters, study data) with grid consultants; track milestones, deposits, and study deliverables. Flag upgrade cost/feasibility issues early and align timing with monetization targets. Real Estate, Access & Easements Partner with Real Estate on site control (options/leases/purchase options) and internal/external easements (access, gen-tie, utilities). Order/title-clear ALTA reviews, surveys, and legal exhibits; manage cure actions to close. Commercial & Investment Readiness Prepare concise materials for Investment Committee/ICX and executive updates: milestone status, risks, capital needs, valuation levers. Support disposition/readiness at LNTP (data room hygiene, CP checklists, redlines). Vendor/Consultant Management Scope, procure, and manage third parties (land-use planners, civil/electrical, fire, environmental/CEQA/NEPA support, interconnection/utility liaisons, survey/title). Drive to clear deliverables, dates, and acceptance criteria; manage change orders. Budget, Controls & Systems Stand up development budgets and NTEs; track actuals vs. forecast; surface variances with mitigation plans. Maintain accurate records in Smartsheet, SiteTracker, Salesforce, and SharePoint. How you'll be measured
Milestone reliability: % of permitting and interconnection gates achieved on or ahead of plan. Readiness to monetize: completeness/quality of LNTP exit packages and CPs. Schedule integrity: variance vs. baseline for critical path activities. Issue closure velocity: time to identify, escalate, and resolve blockers. Data hygiene: accuracy and timeliness in systems of record. Cross-functional partners Legal, Real Estate, Finance/FP&A, Government Affairs, Communications, Origination/Commercial, Interconnection, Contracting. Development Project Manager Expectations Owns end-to-end execution for 3-5 projects; leads internal/external status meetings.
