Vice President of Development

The Vice President of Development will lead the full lifecycle of utility-scale solar PV and battery energy storage (BESS) projects from early-stage development through to sale or readiness for construction. This role requires a strategic and execution-driven leader with deep ERCOT experience, capable of managing complex development processes, structuring transactions, and driving project monetization. The ideal candidate combines technical understanding with commercial acumen and has a proven track record of creating value through disciplined development and successful exits.

• Oversee ERCOT interconnection and transmission processes, including queue strategy, screening, SIS/FIS/LGIA, and grid capacity optimization.
• Provide market and competitive intelligence to guide development focus areas, prioritize hubs, and inform strategic decisions.
• Lead full-cycle project development - from site control, interconnection, permitting, and engineering through commercial structuring and project sale.
• Coordinate with finance, engineering, legal, and external consultants to align technical, commercial, and contractual milestones with corporate strategy.
• Advance projects to monetization by managing all development workstreams, coordinating diligence, and ensuring projects meet buyer and financier expectations.
• Structure and negotiate joint ventures, project sales, and portfolio transactions, including MIPAs, PSAs, and co-development agreements.

• Established network of offtakers, and financial institutions active in ERCOT and the broader U.S. renewable market.
• Deep understanding of project valuation, risk mitigation, and transaction structuring in the context of development-stage assets.
• Deep understanding of ERCOT market operations, interconnection, permitting, and transmission planning, including basis and congestion analysis.
• Proven ability to identify, negotiate, and close joint venture or co-development opportunities.
• 12-15+ years of experience in utility-scale renewable energy project development, with at least 10 years of direct ERCOT experience.
• Demonstrated success in structuring and closing project or portfolio transactions, including milestone-based payment structures and cost-to-complete valuations.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a focus on value creation, execution discipline, and long-term strategic growth.
• Hands-on experience with co-located BESS projects.
