About the role
DESRI seeks a talented and highly motivated individual to join its team as either an associate or manager of development (title commensurate with experience). This role will lead the development of renewable energy projects and participate in the acquisition of renewable energy assets in an inclusive, collaborative, and engaging working environment.
What you'll do

You’ll work with a team of other developers in a dynamic and agile organization.
Day-to-day activities will include researching and communicating with counterparties (such as landowners, local and state permitting authorities, engineering and design professionals, electric utilities companies, corporate off-takers, and others) to effectively translate complex pieces of information into clear financial models while keeping projects on schedule and on budget.
This role may focus on recontracting operating assets and/or the development of surplus battery energy storage projects.
Qualifications
- Three or more years of renewable energy development experience is required, as is an awareness of technical, commercial, regulatory, and operational issues.
- Intellectually curious individuals with well-developed written and verbal communication skills, analytical acumen, and proven organizational abilities will excel in this role.
- Applicants should have an undergraduate or graduate degree in any field and an impressive background of academic and professional achievement.
