Energy Manager - Onsite Generation Solutions

Responsibilities

• Serve as one of the company’s subject matter experts on onsite and behind-the-meter generation, leading the identification, structuring, negotiation, and execution of commercial arrangements — power purchase agreements (PPAs), tolling agreements, capacity contracts, and equipment leases — with independent power producers, generation developers, and equipment manufacturers
• Build and grow strategic relationships with independent power producers, generation equipment manufacturers, engineering and construction firms, fuel suppliers, utilities, and regulators, serving as the primary commercial interface to the generation market
• Evaluate and validate generation technologies — gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and fuel cells — for fit against reliability, output, cost, and deployment requirements
• Assess deal feasibility by confirming the supporting fundamentals are in place — gas supply, land, water, and a viable permitting pathway — ahead of commercial commitment
• Develop and maintain total-cost-of-ownership frameworks on a $/MWh and $/kW-month basis, benchmarking against grid alternatives to inform deal selection and investment decisions
• Lead commercial and technical due diligence, partnering with legal counsel to structure deals that manage stranded-asset risk and preserve flexibility as sites transition to permanent grid service
• Partner with design and engineering teams on generation equipment standardization — evaluating vendors and narrowing specifications toward repeatable, cost-efficient deployment models
• Partner with site selection teams to evaluate powered-land opportunities and identify locations best positioned for near-term generation deployment
• Support downstream delivery, permitting, and construction teams through commercial operation — providing deal context, commercial continuity, and issue resolution as the contractual counterpart
• Support operational integration of commissioned assets — including cutover planning and tracking realized performance and cost against the commercial pro forma to inform future deals
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, design, construction, site development, sustainability, network planning, policy, communications, legal, and finance

Requirements

• Proven track record of originating and structuring onsite or distributed generation deals, with demonstrated commercial and technical expertise across the generation project lifecycle
• Experience at an independent power producer, behind-the-meter provider, or large-scale industrial or data center energy organization — structuring 50+ MW of generation capacity — is strongly preferred

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a directly related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, energy, or a related discipline
• 10+ years of experience in power project development, generation asset delivery, or commercial energy, with direct involvement in onsite or distributed generation projects
• Demonstrated experience structuring and negotiating commercial energy agreements (e.g., power purchase agreements) from origination through execution
• Experience structuring, negotiating, or managing generation projects involving gas turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, or similar behind-the-meter technologies
• Experience contributing to generation projects across multiple lifecycle phases — origination, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, or commercial operation
• Working knowledge of air permitting, environmental compliance, and utility interconnection processes — including strategies to accelerate or bypass traditional interconnection timelines
• Experience representing business interests to leadership teams of suppliers, utilities, government agencies, and regulatory bodies
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams, contractors, and external partners
• Proficiency in standard document and analytics platforms (Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, etc.)
