Director of Business Development

Company Overview

Blue Energy’s mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

We are seeking a Director of Business Development to lead customer origination and secure long-term offtake agreements for Blue Energy’s SMR fleet. In this role, you will identify strategic buyers—utilities, data centers, industrials, and government agencies—and structure contracts that underpin our commercial growth and project financing. You’ll work cross-functionally with our policy, product, and finance teams to bring modular nuclear energy to market faster and more effectively.

This is a high-impact, external-facing role critical to scaling one of the most transformational energy technologies of this decade.

Key Responsibilities

Lead origination and execution of long-term offtake agreements, including PPAs, capacity contracts, or possibly thermal energy sales

Identify and build relationships with anchor customers across utility, hyperscaler, and industrial sectors

Structure and negotiate commercial terms with a focus on risk allocation, creditworthiness, and bankability

Collaborate with internal teams (finance, product, policy) to ensure alignment between customer needs and deployment strategy

Represent Blue Energy at industry events, customer meetings, and strategic forums

Monitor energy market trends, regulatory policy, and procurement mechanisms relevant to long-duration, clean baseload power

Qualifications

10+ years of experience in energy business development, origination, or structured energy sales

Proven track record of closing large-scale offtake agreements (e.g., PPAs, tolling, or capacity contracts)

Deep understanding of energy markets, decarbonization procurement, and commercial risk structuring

Strong network across utility, hyperscaler, industrial, or public-sector energy buyers

Exceptional negotiation skills and commercial instincts

Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities

Self-starter who thrives in a mission-driven, fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with clean baseload or first-of-a-kind energy technologies (nuclear, hydrogen, geothermal, long-duration storage)

Familiarity with DOE contracting, clean energy policy, or federal procurement pathways

Background in project finance or commercial strategy for infrastructure assets

Prior experience at a utility, hyperscaler, or private equity-backed energy developer

We look forward to your application and helping foster an era of safe, clean, affordable, and abundant energy.

Blue Energy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway.
