Development Manager / Senior Development Manager, Solar & StorageNew York or DC (NYC preferred) | $130,000+
I'm working on a search for a Development Manager or Senior Development Manager to lead solar and storage development across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. This is a role for someone who wants to own projects, not just support them. You would take sites from early-stage development through to construction readiness and financial close, working across site acquisition, real estate and title, interconnection, engineering, environmental, offtake and policy.
What the role involves:
- Leading development activities across internal and external teams, from site acquisition through to financing
- Generating leads and opportunities through your own account profiling, business development calls and networking
- Preparing and submitting land use permitting applications, managing site layouts, and presenting at permitting meetings
- Building relationships with governments and utilities, and using that market intelligence to shape strategy
- Supporting the Development Director on origination and new market entry
- Managing project data on budget, schedule and deliverables
- Regular travel to project sites and stakeholder meetings
What they are looking for:
- 3+ years in energy infrastructure development, community solar preferred
- A four-year bachelor's degree in a relevant field. A relevant master's is a plus
- Strong project management, organisation and analytical problem-solving
- Excellent communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills
- A self-starter who is results-driven and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
- Ability to lead and mentor
This is a genuinely strong opportunity with a team that gives developers room to do their best work. To find out more, get in touch with Patrick at SolSearch Energy.
