📋 Description

• You'll join a close-knit team of entrepreneurial, collaborative, and transparent operators who have developed, delivered, and scaled new technologies and industrial infrastructure across multiple verticals. • The Vice President Project Development will build and lead CO280's low carbon power data center infrastructure platform — owning project origination, development strategy, strategic partnerships, and the project development organization. • You will identify, originate, secure, and advance gigawatt-scale infrastructure opportunities from concept through Final Investment Decision (FID), working across utilities, industrial hosts, OEMs, EPCs, hyperscalers, AI developers, and capital partners to turn strategic sites into bankable projects. • Drive new low-carbon power projects from origination through FID, then support the project engineering team commercially through construction to commercial operation. • Develop CO280's project origination strategy by matching industrial host sites with hyperscaler demand, transmission availability, fiber infrastructure and regional power market opportunities. • Build executive relationships with utilities, industrial hosts, hyperscalers, neoclouds, data center developers, OEMs, EPCs, gas suppliers, and strategic partners across the project value chain. • Partner with engineering to develop technically robust, commercially attractive, and financeable projects, including coordinating studies, and building relationships with OEM and EPC partners. • Shape CO280's long-term infrastructure strategy as a member of the executive leadership team, defining where the business plays, how it wins, and how it scales.

🎯 Requirements

• 15+ years of relevant project development experience in power, energy infrastructure, or digital infrastructure, with a track record of taking projects from origination to FID and, ideally, to COD. • An established executive network across utilities, Independent Power Producers, OEMs, EPCs, infrastructure developers, investors, or hyperscaler infrastructure teams. • Demonstrated success originating and commercializing new infrastructure opportunities with sophisticated corporate customers and partners. • Deep experience developing utility-scale power infrastructure: generation, transmission, interconnection, permitting, and site development. Experience supporting hyperscale data centers is highly desirable but not essential. • Strong commercial, financial and engineering fluency, with the ability to structure bankable infrastructure projects and communicate effectively with technical, commercial and investment stakeholders. • Demonstrated ability to contribute to term sheets and definitive agreements with sophisticated counterparties — hyperscalers, AI-native buyers, industrial hosts, midstream operators, or strategic investors. • Experience building and running a development team, with clear views on stage-gates, risk allocation, and development budgets.
