Director Power Generation Origination

About the role

The global energy landscape is rapidly changing, and we're here to accelerate that change. From the decommissioning of high-carbon power assets, accelerated expansion of renewable energy resources as baseload power, to the advent of the prosumer. The volatility on today's energy grid has never been greater. WattBridge was conceived by power industry experts to enable the sustained integration of highly efficient, reduced carbon dispatchable power generation assets on our national energy grid.

Job Summary

PROENERGY is seeking a dynamic, highly strategic, and results-driven Director of Power Generation Origination to drive the next phase of our utility-scale growth. Reporting directly to the VP of Commercial Operations, this senior-level origination role is responsible for identifying, developing, and closing complex, high-value commercial transactions across North America, with a future mandate for global expansion.

• Build C-Suite Alliances: Develop and maintain trusted, long-term relationships with key decision-makers, executives, and stakeholders within utility and data center organizations. Collaborate Internally: Work hand-in-hand with the VP of Commercial Operations, engineering, project execution, and finance teams to ensure proposed solutions are technically robust, risk-mitigated, and commercially viable.
• Maintain a Highly Accurate Pipeline: Maintain a highly accurate, visible, and growing multi-year deal pipeline, providing regular strategic updates to executive leadership.

• Demonstrated success originating and closing large-scale transactions ($50M+ deal size) involving heavy power infrastructure, turnkey EPC services, or complex energy structured products (PPAs).
• Deep understanding of power generation equipment (specifically gas turbines), grid interconnection processes, power market dynamics, etc. Strong familiarity with project finance, risk allocation, and contract structuring.
• Proven ability to look beyond the immediate sales cycle to build holistic, multi-year regional or global growth strategies.
• Ability to travel (up to 40–50%) across North America to meet with clients with future international travel as global strategy dictates.
