Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy – fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $210M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co-Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more.We're creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing renewable generation and grid infrastructure to powering the next generation of AI and compute-intensive industries. But we’re not stopping there. We’re also building the Energy Network: a decentralised platform of smart devices to electrify our homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability - a critical foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries.As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and data center capacity, the bottleneck is no longer chips – it is energy, grid infrastructure, and the ability to deliver new capacity at speed.We are looking for a Data Center Development Lead to help solve that problem. You will be responsible for taking data center projects from concept through to Ready-to-Build and energisation. You will own the technical and development workstreams required to transform a site from an opportunity into a deliverable project. You will work across site selection, power strategy, grid connections, planning, engineering, design development, permitting, utility engagement, and delivery readiness.This is a highly technical role for someone who understands both infrastructure development and engineering. You will help build the infrastructure that enables the next generation of AI.Responsibilities Lead data center developments from early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisationAssess sites from technical, planning, power, and infrastructure perspectivesDevelop grid connection and power strategies with National Grid, DNOs, and utility providersSupport planning, permitting, and stakeholder engagement processesIdentify and mitigate technical and development risksEnsure projects are deliverable, scalable, and aligned with construction requirementsRequirementsExperience developing data centers or large-scale infrastructure projectsStrong technical understanding of data center infrastructure, including power, cooling, and utility systems, with the ability to evaluate engineering decisions and challenge technical assumptionsStrong understanding of ERCOT planning and grid connection processesExperience taking projects from early-stage development through design, permitting, and delivery readinessHighly analytical, self-directed, and comfortable with significant ownershipBenefitsCompetitive salaryBiannual bonus schemeFully expensed tech to match your needsBreakfast and dinner allowance for office based employees
