How to apply for Energy Project Development Manager

About Antora Energy

Antora Energy builds thermal batteries that store low-cost renewable electricity as heat and deliver always-on industrial heat and power. The company says its batteries use no supply-constrained critical minerals and avoid multi-year construction timelines. It is hiring people who put team and mission first and value humility and openness.

About the role

The Manager, Energy Project Development supports evaluation, tracking, and advancement of long duration energy storage projects. The role covers greenfield development, co-location, and due diligence on acquisitions. You track development milestones and coordinate consultants, renewable developers, and internal teams to move projects toward deployment readiness under senior leadership.

A typical day

A typical day may involve calls with consultants or renewable developers on active projects, reviewing permitting or interconnection status, and updating internal teams on development milestones. You may also support due diligence on an acquisition or co-location opportunity and report progress to senior leadership. Exact routines depend on the pipeline; ask about the current project mix and reporting cadence in the interview.

Who Antora Energy is looking for

• Has hands-on experience in energy project development, including site evaluation and acquisition, permitting, and interconnection.
• Has managed outsourced development support and coordinated external consultants, engineers, and developers.
• Can track multiple project milestones and keep internal teams and leadership informed.
• Has worked on greenfield projects, co-location, or acquisition due diligence in renewable or storage development.

Tips for this application

• Name specific projects where you handled site evaluation, permitting, or interconnection, and state your exact role.
• Describe how you managed consultants or outsourced development support, including how you tracked deliverables and milestones.
• If you have worked on LDES, thermal storage, or co-location, state it directly in the first paragraph of your resume summary.
• Use the job title 'Energy Project Development Manager' in your application materials, not a variation.
• Because the role is remote, state your location and your experience working with distributed teams and external partners.

What to cover in your cover letter

Cover the following: one project where you led site evaluation, permitting, or interconnection and what the outcome was; your experience coordinating consultants, developers, and internal teams across a development pipeline; any direct exposure to long duration energy storage, thermal batteries, or co-location; and why you want to work at a company that builds thermal batteries without critical minerals or multi-year construction timelines.

Research before applying

• Read Antora Energy's website and any public materials on how its thermal battery works and what projects it has announced.
• Look up the basics of long duration energy storage (LDES) and how it differs from lithium-ion storage.
• Check what Antora has said publicly about its manufacturing, project pipeline, or partnerships, if anything.
• Find out who leads project development at Antora and what background they have, if that information is public.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• Walk through a greenfield project you supported from site evaluation through a development milestone.
• How do you track and report development milestones across multiple projects and external consultants?
• Describe your experience with interconnection processes and permitting for energy projects.
• Tell us about a time you supported due diligence on an acquisition or co-location opportunity.
• How would you coordinate internal teams, consultants, and renewable developers to move a project toward deployment readiness?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without any concrete examples of site evaluation, permitting, or interconnection work.
• Treating the role as a general project management job instead of showing energy development-specific experience.
• Ignoring the remote nature of the role and not addressing how you work with distributed teams and external partners.
