Project Manager, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineer

Futura is partnering with a data-center–focused infrastructure platform to hire a technical Project Manager / Development Engineer to support the delivery of utility-scale energy projects.

This role sits at the center of development, engineering, and construction handoff
, owning technical execution while commercial and finance teams focus on deal making. It is a hands-on technical leadership role with real decision-making authority — not a PMO seat and not a pure design engineering role.

Projects include utility-scale BESS and solar (often 100MW+), with direct exposure to hyperscale data-center power strategy and adjacent infrastructure.

• Review projects during acquisition and development
• Evaluate site layouts, acreage requirements, and GCR assumptions
• Assess equipment selection and high-level technical specifications
• Validate interconnection and transmission assumptions
• Provide clear technical “go / no-go” input before capital is committed
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact with EPCs
• Lead equipment selection, scope clarification, and technical redlines
• Review designs and resolve technical issues
• Own technical exhibits during EPC contract negotiations

• Coordinate and review external consultants across:
• SCADA
• Interconnection
• Ensure work products are technically sound and internally consistent
• Identify flawed assumptions, hidden risks, or unrealistic performance inputs
• Support ~1–1.5 active projects at a time across development and construction
• Typical time allocation:
• ~80% active projects
• ~10% acquisition and diligence support

We are flexible on title and background. The common thread is strong technical judgment and comfort operating in an evolving environment.

Example backgrounds include:

• Development Engineers (2–3 years in development ideal)
• EPC engineers moving into project ownership
