Development Manager

Posted on Apr 26, 2026
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
