Key Responsibilities 

Land & Site Control

• Work with development partners and land agents to advance leases, options, easements, amendments, crossing agreements, access agreements, and related land rights. 

• Coordinate title, survey, and land diligence activities, including title commitments, ALTA/NSPS surveys, legal descriptions, exhibits, and resolution of identified issues. 

• Partner with outside counsel, title companies, surveyors, and internal stakeholders to develop practical plans for title cure, consents, releases, subordinations, or other corrective actions when needed. 

• Track material land obligations, option periods, notices, payments, approvals, recording requirements, and other critical dates. 

• Maintain organized land records, status reports, risk logs, and action plans across multiple projects. 

Development Partner & Consultant Management 

• Serve as the primary internal point of contact for land and related development work performed by development partners. 

• Review partner and consultant deliverables for completeness and alignment with project requirements, escalate material risks, and drive open items to resolution. 

• Coordinate consistent negotiation positions, document control, diligence standards, and stakeholder communications. 

Landowner & Stakeholder Relationships 

• Build and maintain professional relationships with landowners, adjacent owners, local stakeholders, utilities, road authorities, and other third parties. 

• Support landowner communications, negotiations, commitments, payment coordination, and issue resolution throughout development. 

• Work within the development team to ensure land activities are coordinated with broader community and permitting strategies. 

Construction Readiness & Handoff 

• Coordinate confirmation that required land rights, access rights, surveys, title items, consents, exhibits, and recordings are sufficiently advanced for financing, NTP, and construction. 

• Prepare clear handoff materials summarizing land rights, obligations, restrictions, commitments, and unresolved risks. 

• Support construction and operations teams with landowner coordination, access issues, agreement interpretation, and post-NTP matters as needed. 

Project Development Leadership 

• Advance multiple development projects by establishing priorities, schedules, budgets, milestone trackers, and risk mitigation plans. 

• Coordinate cross-functional teams across Development, Legal, Engineering, Interconnection, Environmental, Permitting, Finance, Procurement, and Construction. 

• Identify, monitor, escalate, and help mitigate risks affecting project cost, schedule, approvals, financing, or viability. 

• Prepare project updates, decision materials, and recommendations for management and investment reviews. 

• Support permitting, stakeholder engagement, commercial agreements, project controls, financing diligence, and NTP readiness as assigned. 

• Take ownership of additional development workstreams as project priorities and business needs evolve. 

Greenfield Development & Opportunity Assessment 

• Support identification and screening of greenfield renewable energy and storage opportunities, including initial site, ownership, access, land use, permitting, interconnection, environmental, and stakeholder considerations. 

• Coordinate early-stage desktop diligence and consultant inputs to help determine project feasibility, risk, schedule, and development strategy. 

• Support outreach strategies, site control planning, preliminary budgets, development schedules, and internal opportunity reviews. 

• Help transition selected opportunities into structured development plans with clear milestones, responsibilities, and risk mitigation actions. 

M&A and Transaction Due Diligence 

• Support acquisition and partnership evaluations by coordinating land, title, survey, permitting, environmental, interconnection, and other development diligence. 

• Review project data rooms, summarize material findings, identify information gaps, and maintain diligence trackers and risk registers. 

• Coordinate with internal subject-matter experts, outside counsel, consultants, and counterparties to resolve diligence questions and support investment decisions. 

• Assist with closing readiness, conditions precedent, transition planning, and post-closing integration of acquired projects.

Requirements

Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree in real estate, business, project management, planning, engineering, environmental science, law, or a related discipline; equivalent relevant experience will be considered. 

• 5+ years of experience in renewable energy, energy infrastructure, real estate development, project development, or a related field. 

• Practical experience supporting land acquisition, site control, landowner agreements, title, survey, or related real estate diligence. 

• Experience coordinating consultants, counsel, development partners, landowners, and multidisciplinary project teams. 

• Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects, multiple priorities, and evolving responsibilities with limited supervision. 

• Experience with utility-scale solar, wind, battery energy storage, transmission, or other linear infrastructure is preferred. 

• Experience supporting greenfield development, project acquisitions, or transaction due diligence is preferred but not required. 

Knowledge & Skills 

• Working knowledge of common renewable energy land agreements and the purpose of title and survey diligence; deep technical specialization is not required. 

• Strong project management, organization, document control, scheduling, budgeting, and follow-through skills. 

• Commercial judgment and the ability to distinguish material project risks from issues that can be managed through normal development processes. 

• Ability to manage partners and consultants effectively without direct authority and to hold stakeholders accountable for commitments. 

• Clear written and verbal communication with landowners, executives, counsel, technical teams, and external counterparties. 

• Comfort shifting between detailed execution and broader development strategy in a fast-moving environment.
