A bit about us:
We are a U.S.-based renewable energy platform focused on the development, ownership, and operation of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage projects. Our portfolio spans multiple major wholesale power markets across North America, with projects ranging from early-stage greenfield development to operating assets.
Backed by long-term institutional capital, our team brings decades of experience across project development, financing, engineering, construction, and asset management. We are builders at heart — focused on delivering large-scale clean energy infrastructure that strengthens grid reliability and accelerates the energy transition.
Our organization combines the agility of an entrepreneurial platform with the discipline and sophistication of an established infrastructure investor. As our project pipeline continues to expand, we are adding experienced professionals who want to help shape and execute complex energy infrastructure projects across competitive U.S. power markets.
Why join us?
Meaningful Impact – Work on large-scale solar and storage projects that directly contribute to grid stability and decarbonization.
High-Visibility Role – Lead projects from early-stage development through construction readiness, with real ownership and decision-making authority.
Institutional Backing + Entrepreneurial Culture – Benefit from strong capital support while operating in a nimble, execution-focused environment.
Cross-Functional Exposure – Collaborate closely with origination, transmission, finance, legal, EPC, and M&A teams.
Market Diversity – Develop projects across major U.S. wholesale markets, gaining broad exposure to regional regulatory and interconnection dynamics.
Growth Opportunity – Join during a significant expansion phase with room to grow alongside the platform.
This is an ideal opportunity for a development professional who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys solving complex permitting and siting challenges, and wants to take full lifecycle ownership of projects.
