In this role, your primary mandate is to secure access to power for our expanding data center portfolio. As the commercial and process orchestrator for our grid connections, you will focus on negotiating grid access agreements with TSOs and DSOs, translating utility contracts into clear business impacts, and driving the end-to-end timeline to ensure internal teams and project managers execute perfectly.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities)

Determine the Pathway to Power: Know the system connection process for target markets, the responsible parties and the technical criteria for meeting new site needs. This includes a general understanding of system upgrade processes, power redundancy practices, system voltages and components necessary to delivery power.

Commercial Negotiation & Translation: Lead the negotiation of grid connection agreements (ESAs) with European TSOs and DSOs. You will translate these complex utility contracts and grid constraints into clear operational and commercial realities for IMDC projects and our end customers. This includes validating the technical aspects of power design and delivery to the site, including upstream system resources.

Process Orchestration: Own the master timeline for power delivery. You will dictate 'who does what and when', ensuring that local Project Managers for new and existing data center locations hit critical verification, submission, and operational milestones at exactly the right moment.

Contract Lifecycle Management: Deeply understand the ongoing requirements of our grid access contracts. You will manage the lifetime of the contract, ensuring we meet utilization thresholds, mitigate commercial risk, and maintain compliance long after the initial agreement is signed.

Industry & Utility Expertise: Demonstrable experience in energy procurement, utility relations, or infrastructure project management for energy‑intensive consumers. You must have a track record of negotiating directly with European TSOs and DSOs.

Contractual Fluency: You must be able to read a complex grid connection contract and immediately understand what it means for the project's construction timeline and the customer's ramp‑up schedule.

Location: Must be based in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, or Spain.

Education: Bachelor's degree in business, electrical engineering, project management, or an energy‑related discipline.

Pan-European Presence: Willingness and ability to travel as needed to active project sites and utility offices across Europe to ensure critical infrastructure milestones are met and local relationships are maintained.
