Energy Services / Full-time / Hybrid Terawatt Infrastructure seeks an Energy and Utilities Manager for its Energy & Utility team. The Energy and Utilities Manager is a critical, independent contributor role responsible for developing and executing comprehensive utility engagement strategies throughout the entire development lifecycle of Terawatt Infrastructure projects. This individual will serve as the primary point of contact and subject matter expert for all utility-related matters, ensuring seamless coordination and alignment between various internal teams, including real estate, Development, Design-Construction and Business Development departments. During the crucial site evaluation phase, the Energy and Utilities Manager will proactively engage with relevant utility providers to assess infrastructure availability, capacity, costs, and potential risks. This involves conducting thorough due diligence, analyzing utility maps and data, and collaborating with development teams to determine optimal site selection based on utility feasibility and economic considerations. The role extends to project engineering, where the Energy and Utilities Manager will actively contribute to the customer and utility design process, ensuring that utility requirements and specifications are integrated into project plans. This includes collaborating with teams to develop detailed utility layouts, load calculations, and energization designs. Furthermore, this individual will create realistic project schedules incorporating utility timelines for service connections, upgrades, and relocations, effectively mitigating potential delays. Budgeting is another key area of responsibility, requiring the Energy and Utilities Manager to develop and manage comprehensive utility budgets, encompassing connection fees, infrastructure upgrades, and ongoing service charges. This involves cost estimation, financial forecasting, and proactive identification of cost-saving opportunities. A significant aspect of this role involves skillfully negotiating and executing complex utility agreements and contracts, ensuring favorable terms and conditions for the organization. This includes managing relationships with utility providers, resolving disputes, and staying abreast of utility changes and industry best practices. Core Responsibilities
Own key project milestones and deliverables and manage delivery dates. Collaborate closely and guide the Site Acquisition, Project Development, and Construction teams regarding preliminary utility-related engineering, design, and construction timelines. Understand and make critical recommendations regarding timing, cost, and economic trade-offs involved with site energization or interconnection for behind-the-meter generation. Be a problem solver when utility bottlenecks or failures are causing project delays. Inform the Company's energy and energization strategy through collaboration with the Real Estate, Project Development, Design & Construction, and Business Development teams. Identify, hire, and manage utility consultants as needed for projects. Preferred Qualifications
Experience working with regulated electrical utilities in major US metro areas, particularly in the Eastern and Central US. A strong understanding of utility distribution and transmission infrastructure and electrical design standards. Experience with the complete utility coordination process, from application to energization. Strategic thinking skills regarding business, operations, and technical challenges, coupled with the technical skills to execute project schedules, contracts, initiatives, and team objectives. Experience in estimating utility service costs. Familiarity with project development from greenfield or brownfield site acquisition to operational assets. $155,000 - $170,000 a year Compensation for this role is determined by several factors, including the cost of labor in specific geographic markets, and these ranges are intended to provide a helpful reference. The actual compensation offer will be based on the candidate's location, skills, level of expertise and experience, and internal equity considerations. In addition to base salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package and, where applicable, performance-based incentives. We are building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. At Terawatt, we continuously strive to foster inclusion, humility, energizing relationships, and belonging, and welcome new ideas. We're growing and want you to grow with us.
