A bit about us:

We are a rapidly growing, privately backed renewable energy platform focused on developing, owning, and operating utility-scale solar, wind, and battery energy storage projects across North America. Founded by seasoned industry leaders, the company brings deep expertise across the full project lifecycle—from early-stage development and interconnection through construction, financing, and long-term asset management.

With multiple gigawatts of projects operating and under development, the organization is known for executing large, complex energy infrastructure projects and forming long-term partnerships with utilities, corporates, and communities.

The team operates with an ownership mindset—actively investing in and managing assets—allowing for greater control, quality, and long-term value creation.

Why join us?
  • High-impact projects: Work on large-scale solar + storage projects shaping grid reliability and the energy transition
  • True ownership model: Be part of a team that develops and owns projects—not just EPC oversight
  • Strong financial backing: Well-capitalized platform with institutional investors and a multi-GW pipeline
  • End-to-end exposure: Collaborate across development, engineering, finance, and operations
  • Growth trajectory: Join during a major expansion phase in energy storage and hybrid assets
  • Culture: Lean, high-caliber team with significant autonomy and visibility

  • Review engineering deliverables, equipment specs, and construction plans
  • Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements
