Maintain control of development budgets, schedules, risk registers, and

permitting timelines.

Support projects through construction to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery and

operational readiness.

Strategic Development & Market Leadership

Collaborate with executive leadership on pipeline strategy, portfolio optimization,

and risk management.

Support mergers, acquisitions, and project purchases, including screening, due

diligence, and strategic evaluation.

Prepare investor-ready materials to support project financing, tax equity, and

asset sales.

Financial & Commercial Management

Own development budgets, financial performance, and project tracking systems.

Evaluate and structure commercial solutions such as tax abatements, incentives,

and equity partnerships.

Support financing processes through financial close or project disposition.

External Engagement & Stakeholder Management

Lead community engagement, landowner and lease negotiations, permitting

discussions, and stakeholder outreach.

Build and maintain strong relationships with landowners, utilities, regulators, and

external partners.

Champion safety, compliance, and sustainability best practices across all

development activities.
