About the Role

American Terawatt is building a new industrial electric grid for the United States, serving large industrial loads with advanced power transmission systems. This role is key to executing power development at a national scale, making interconnection fast, simple, and cheap.

Responsibilities

  • Identify and advance transmission development opportunities based on power availability, interconnection potential, permitting feasibility, project economics, and suitability for American Terawatt’s broader transmission network.
  • Lead diligence across grid interconnection, transmission routing, permitting, land, power availability, and project delivery timelines.
  • Work directly with utilities, RTOs/ISOs, generation owners, landowners, developers, and large-load customers to advance projects and secure necessary agreements and rights.
  • Evaluate alternative development pathways and make tradeoffs across schedule, cost, interconnection risk, permitting, constructability, and commercial value.
  • Develop project economics and support the commercial structuring and negotiation of transmission development opportunities.
  • Identify critical development risks early and proactively drive them toward resolution.
  • Partner closely with engineering, project management, procurement, legal, and commercial teams to move transmission projects from early-stage opportunity through development and toward construction.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience advancing complex energy infrastructure projects through multiple stages of development, including origination, diligence, interconnection, permitting, commercial structuring, and execution.
  • Track record of personally owning meaningful development workstreams and driving projects toward commercial or investment decisions.
  • Strong understanding of project economics and experience building or evaluating financial models for large-scale energy infrastructure projects.
  • Working knowledge of grid interconnection, transmission development, permitting, utility coordination, and realistic project delivery timelines.
  • Experience navigating complex projects involving multiple external counterparties, regulatory requirements, and competing technical and commercial constraints.
