🏢 About SB Energy DevCo (US) Inc.

SB Energy DevCo (US) Inc. is a leading renewable energy company that powers over 330,000 homes and has created 10,000+ jobs, directly combating climate change. Their unique focus on large-scale, integrated energy campuses—combining gas turbines, renewables, battery storage, and data centers—offers a rare opportunity to work on transformative, multi-technology projects.

About This Role

As Campus Project Lead, you will spearhead the construction, commissioning, and startup of a 1.2 GW combined-cycle gas turbine plant in Texas, while also developing a long-term master plan for a central Texas campus that includes data centers, renewables, and battery storage.

Mid-morning, you join a call with ERCOT to discuss interconnection milestones, then meet with the design team to refine the campus master plan. Afternoons are spent on contract negotiations for battery storage vendors and preparing a stakeholder presentation for the county commission.
