Job description

Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy – fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We're creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing renewable generation and grid infrastructure to powering the next generation of AI and compute-intensive industries.

As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and data center capacity, the bottleneck is no longer chips – it is energy, grid infrastructure, and the ability to deliver new capacity at speed.

We are looking for a Data Center Development Lead to help solve that problem. You will be responsible for taking data center projects from concept through to Ready-to-Build and energisation. You will own the technical and development workstreams required to transform a site from an opportunity into a deliverable project. You will work across site selection, power strategy, grid connections, planning, engineering, design development, permitting, utility engagement, and delivery readiness.

This is a highly technical role for someone who understands both infrastructure development and engineering. You will help build the infrastructure that enables the next generation of AI.

Responsibilities

• Lead data center developments from early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisation
• Assess sites from technical, planning, power, and infrastructure perspectives
• Develop grid connection and power strategies with National Grid, DNOs, and utility providers
• Support planning, permitting, and stakeholder engagement processes
• Identify and mitigate technical and development risks
• Ensure projects are deliverable, scalable, and aligned with construction requirements

Qualifications

• Experience developing data centers or large-scale infrastructure projects
• Strong technical understanding of data center infrastructure, including power, cooling, and utility systems, with the ability to evaluate engineering decisions and challenge technical assumptions
• Strong understanding of UK planning and grid connection processes
• Experience taking projects from early-stage development through design, permitting, and delivery readiness
• Highly analytical, self-directed, and comfortable with significant ownership

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Biannual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Breakfast and dinner allowance for office based employees
