We’re partnering with a fast-growing energy platform building out a new greenfield development capability in the U.S. — and they’re looking for a Development Manager or Senior Developer to help lead the charge.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact, build-from-scratch environment with a strong inbound pipeline and immediate projects to own from day one.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead early-stage development of battery energy storage (BESS) projects
  • Drive permitting and approvals across multiple jurisdictions
  • Work on greenfield / raw land opportunities with real deal flow
  • Support (and potentially lead) site origination efforts — including outreach and land sourcing strategies
  • Collaborate closely with leadership to shape a new organic development function

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Backed by a business with a strong track record, now expanding beyond M&A into organic growth
  • Immediate pipeline of projects ready for execution
  • High visibility and ownership in a lean, entrepreneurial team
  • Opportunity to influence how the development function is built going forward

Who They’re Looking For:

  • 2–5 years of experience in renewable energy development
  • Exposure to battery storage projects strongly preferred
  • Hands-on experience with greenfield development and permitting
  • Bonus if you’ve worked on site origination or land acquisition strategies
  • Someone who thrives in a fast-moving, less structured environment and wants real ownership
