• Serve as the primary client contact for data center developers, investors, property developers, and economic development agencies, translating client objectives into actionable project scope and guiding clients with limited energy-infrastructure experience through the development pathway.
• Lead multi-disciplinary coordination across substation design, protection and control, civil/structural, power generation, and interconnection disciplines to ensure integrated, constructible project delivery.
• Manage subconsultants, vendors, and contract administration in support of assigned projects.
• Support early-stage feasibility studies, power availability assessments, and preliminary master planning for pre-investment and greenfield data center site opportunities.
• Identify and manage project risks, developing and tracking mitigation strategies in coordination with technical leads.
• Lead preparation of proposals, fee estimates, and client presentations, contributing to business development for the data center and mission-critical client segment.
