at TeraWatt Infrastructure

🏢 About TeraWatt Infrastructure

TeraWatt Infrastructure is uniquely positioned as a leader in scaling EV charging solutions specifically for commercial fleets, not just passenger vehicles. Their focus on fleet electrification addresses a critical gap in the EV transition, making them a mission-driven company with tangible environmental impact. Working here means contributing directly to decarbonizing transportation infrastructure at scale.

About This Role

As a Development Associate, you'll be the operational backbone for developing Terawatt Charging Centers, supporting everything from site due diligence to pre-construction coordination. This role is impactful because you'll help transform raw sites into functional charging hubs that enable fleet electrification, directly supporting TeraWatt's mission to reduce carbon emissions through scalable infrastructure.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing site due diligence reports for potential charging center locations, updating financial models to track project budgets, coordinating with the Energy team on power requirements, and using SmartSheets to manage deliverables across Real Estate, Legal, and Construction teams. You might spend the afternoon analyzing permitting timelines for Bay Area jurisdictions and preparing materials for internal development reviews.
