- Manage key development workflows: site selection, land acquisition, grid access applications, environmental/planning permits, M&A activities, inputs into the Financial Model and local resource coordination.
- Identify new potential utility-scale projects through various sources including utilizing a data-driven software-based approach to identify projects and land to target.
- Oversee land acquisition efforts. Involvement in direct landowner negotiations, also managing external land agent partners.
- Represent the company to external/key stakeholders including local councils and government, officials, consultants, landowners.
- Manage all aspects of the project development process (grid connection, land acquisitions, permitting, environmental studies, leading public hearing processes, creating and maintaining relationships with local stakeholders, etc).
- Work closely with internal company departments (engineering, finance, legal, operations) to identify and minimize project risks. Implement solutions to maximize project value.
- Work with technical team and external consultants to assist with the grid connection process.
- Create and manage project budgets and schedules. This includes acting as project lead internally and overseeing external consultants.
