Site development from blank map to FID | Power & grid origination | General manager mandate
The Opportunity
We develop AI Gigafactories across Europe. As Development Manager, you take new data centre developments from first opportunity to investment decision and into delivery: power, land, permitting, partners, business case.
You act as general manager for your projects, own business functions and processes across the company, and work as an extension of the leadership team in strategy and execution.
We are a small, senior team backed by experienced energy-infrastructure entrepreneurs and leading international investors and partners. First projects are moving into delivery. The next sites need owners who go from a blank map to a bankable project, and make it happen.
