Senior Data Center Site Sourcing & Pre-Development Lead

Radiant; United States; On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Radiant is building the next generation of AI infrastructure and needs a hands‑on Site Sourcing & Pipeline professional for Europe and the US. You’ll own the end‑to‑end site workflow from initial landowner conversations through to signed options and ready‑to‑design sites.

You’ll screen sites for viability (power, fibre, planning), negotiate terms, travel to sites, and coordinate with Power, Design, Engineering and commercial teams.

Qualifications

• Experience sourcing or evaluating sites, land or powered assets for data centres, energy, or infrastructure projects.
• Comfort working directly with landowners, brokers, utilities and local authorities without a large team.
• Willingness to travel to site locations (plane or car) to inspect sites.
• Working knowledge of what makes a site viable for 100MW+ GPU infrastructure (power, land, fibre, planning).
• Ability to structure and negotiate heads of terms and options, or a fast willingness to learn how.
• Comfort maintaining a pipeline in a spreadsheet on day one, and building the system that eventually replaces it.
• Genuine technical competency in site viability.

Responsibilities

• Source and screen land, powered-shell and colocation opportunities across Europe and the US, working directly with landowners, brokers and utilities.
• Build and maintain the site pipeline and evaluation criteria from scratch — there’s no inherited process to follow.
• Negotiate heads of terms and options directly, with legal support rather than a dedicated negotiation team.
• Run first-pass technical screening (power availability, grid queue position, fibre, land use, planning risk) yourself before looping in specialist input.
• Coordinate site visits and due diligence, often travelling at short notice.
• Work directly with Power & Utilities, Design & Engineering and commercial to pressure‑test each site before it’s committed.
• Brief the CDO and management on site recommendations with clear, first‑hand analysis - not a summary of someone else’s work.
