Align utility delivery timelines with broader project development schedules.

Zoning, Permitting & Compliance

Navigate complex permitting and rezoning processes.

Engage consultants for environmental studies, traffic analysis, and impact assessments.

Track regulatory developments and mitigate risks related to water, moratoriums, or permitting delays.

Commercial Structuring & Negotiations

Create land ownership structures (SPVs) that align with the investment model.

Provide cost breakdowns and financial modeling for prospective acquisitions.

Stakeholder Engagement

Build trusted relationships with landowners, municipalities, and regulatory bodies.

Provide regular progress updates to internal investment and development teams.

Proven success sourcing land for energy, data center, or industrial projects.

Strong network within utility and permitting ecosystems.

Deep knowledge of zoning, interconnection, and large-parcel development.

Exceptional negotiation, communication, and project tracking skills.

Experience in TX and CA markets strongly preferred.
