The Company is seeking a Head of Development to lead the late-stage development of utility-scale renewable energy projects, with a focus on solar and energy storage. The successful candidate will be responsible for the full development lifecycle, from project acquisition to transaction readiness. This hands-on role requires a leader who can make independent, commercially sound decisions, and who has a deep understanding of the various elements of renewable energy development. Key responsibilities include managing project schedules, budgets, and risk mitigation strategies, as well as coordinating with a range of technical consultants and stakeholders. The Head of Development will also be instrumental in shaping development processes, influencing project strategy, and mentoring the development team. Applicants for the Head of Development position at the company should have a Bachelor's degree (advanced degree or professional qualification preferred) and at least 8 years' of experience in utility-scale renewable energy development or a related field. A strong background in ERCOT and utility-scale solar development is essential.

The ideal candidate will have experience in key development disciplines such as land/title, environmental, permitting, engineering, surveying, and interconnection, and be adept at managing external consultants. Strong commercial judgment, the ability to assess and mitigate risks, and experience in team leadership and mentorship are highly valued. The company is committed to diversity and inclusion and encourages all qualified candidates to apply.
