• Drive negotiations with landowners on site control agreements for utility-scale renewable and energy storage projects.
• Take ownership of development activities for both new and ongoing utility-scale renewable and energy storage projects in the company's portfolio, with an emphasis on tax abatement, permitting, and environmental compliance.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 4-5+ years of utility-scale renewable energy, energy storage, battery storage, LNG, and/or natural gas experience working with IPPs/Developers/Owners.

• Solid understanding of the RFP/RFI process as it relates to project development initiatives.
• Well-versed in project siting, permitting, prospecting, and other due diligence initiatives for utility-scale renewable (solar, wind, battery storage) projects.
• Hands-on experience utilizing site prospecting, land negotiations, and support of project financing initiatives.
• Any exposure or project experience with energy storage, battery storage, or solar + storage is a HUGE PLUS.
• Strong communication skills are a MUST and needed to be efficient in this role.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic team-oriented environment.
