How to Apply for Energy & Utilities Manager

at TeraWatt Infrastructure

🏢 About TeraWatt Infrastructure

TeraWatt Infrastructure is uniquely positioned as a specialized EV charging infrastructure company focused exclusively on fleet electrification, not consumer charging. Their mission-driven approach to scaling EV charging solutions specifically for commercial fleets makes them a key player in reducing carbon emissions at scale. Working here offers the opportunity to be at the forefront of the transportation electrification revolution with a company that has a clear, focused niche in the rapidly growing EV infrastructure market.

About This Role

This Energy & Utilities Manager role serves as the critical bridge between TeraWatt's EV charging projects and utility companies, ensuring fleet charging sites can be successfully energized. You'll be responsible for the entire utility coordination lifecycle from site evaluation through energization, directly impacting project timelines and costs. Your work enables the deployment of fleet charging infrastructure that accelerates the transition to electric transportation.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing utility infrastructure assessments for potential fleet charging sites, coordinating with internal development teams on project timelines, and engaging with utility representatives to negotiate agreements and resolve capacity issues. You might spend the morning analyzing utility costs for a new project, have afternoon calls with municipal utility planners about design requirements, and end the day updating project schedules based on utility interconnection timelines.
