Job Summary:
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Battery Energy Storage Project Developer to lead the identification, evaluation, and development of distribution-level battery energy storage projects from conception through to ready-to-build status.

Permitting & Interconnection: Manage and lead all aspects of the project permitting process, including securing local, state, and federal permits (e.g., land use, environmental, building permits). Navigate the utility interconnection process, including submitting applications, managing interconnection agreements, and addressing technical requirements. Develop and maintain strong relationships with permitting authorities and utility representatives. Stakeholder Engagement & Community Relations: Act as the primary point of contact for external stakeholders, including landowners, local communities, government officials, and regulatory bodies. Lead community outreach efforts and address local concerns to ensure project acceptance and support. Commercial & Financial Modeling: Develop and refine financial models to evaluate project economics, conduct sensitivity analyses, and support investment decisions. Assist in securing project financing, including working with internal finance teams and external investors. Support off-take negotiations (e.g., PPA, tolling agreements) for energy, capacity, and ancillary services. Risk Management: Identify and mitigate project risks throughout the development lifecycle, including technical, regulatory, environmental, and financial risks. Develop and implement strategies to overcome development challenges. Project Management & Reporting: Manage project schedules, budgets, and deliverables to ensure projects advance efficiently and meet development milestones. Prepare regular project status reports for internal stakeholders and senior management. Transition projects smoothly to the execution/EPC team upon achieving ready-to-build status.
