The Position

The Manager, Gas Integration & Supply supports continuous, reliable data center operations by forecasting, modeling, and securing natural gas supply for on-site or connected power generation assets. This role works closely with data center engineering teams to translate dynamic and evolving power demand requirements into accurate natural gas nominations for multiple gas-fired turbines.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate daily with data center engineers to understand short-term, monthly, and forward-looking power requirements, recognizing that load forecasts are fluid and subject to change.
  • Develop, maintain, and continuously improve natural gas consumption models (or leverage existing tools) that translate electrical load forecasts into turbine-level gas demand.
  • Incorporate turbine performance curves, ambient conditions, ramp rates, and operational constraints into fuel demand calculations.
  • Analyze forecast deviations and identify root causes (load changes, modeling assumptions, operational constraints) to improve future accuracy.
  • Prepare and submit daily, monthly, and forward natural gas nominations to support power generation requirements.
  • Work closely with the natural gas provider’s strategic account manager and third-party gas suppliers, marketers, and pipeline operators to ensure sufficient supply, transportation capacity, and operational flexibility.
  • Maintain documentation of models, assumptions, and scheduling methodologies.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Energy Management, Finance, Economics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of experience in natural gas scheduling, fuel management, power generation operations, or energy trading support.
  • Strong working knowledge of natural gas markets, pipeline nominations, and supply logistics.
  • Experience supporting gas-fired power generation assets preferred.
  • Advanced analytical skills with proficiency in Excel and modeling tools; experience with energy management or ETRM systems is a plus.
  • Strong analytical and financial mindset with the ability to connect operational decisions and market activity to economic outcomes.
  • Detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-availability environment.
  • Ability to investigate issues, identify root causes, and drive process improvements.
  • Clear communicator who can translate complex operational and market concepts into actionable insights.
