About The Position
Hunt Energy Network (HEN) is seeking a Manager, Business Development & Project Management to join their team. This hybrid role involves both commercial origination and hands-on project execution for HEN's large-scale islanded power campuses serving hyperscale AI data center loads. The Manager will be responsible for advancing offtake and partnership opportunities, managing day-to-day development execution (vendors, permits, schedule, budget), and supporting broader business development and M&A opportunities across the Hunt energy platform. HEN specializes in clean energy solutions, developing and deploying advanced energy storage assets to help balance the ERCOT grid.
Requirements
- Working fluency in project finance concepts (pro formas, capital structures, credit support) and technical fundamentals of gas generation, BESS, and electrical infrastructure.
- Strong project management fundamentals: schedule/budget ownership, contract administration, multi-vendor coordination; PMP or equivalent experience welcome.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, finance, or related field.
- 7–12 years in energy/infrastructure development, EPC, investment banking, or private equity with direct exposure to power generation projects.
- Demonstrated commercial track record: offtake agreements, development partnerships, or closed M&A transactions.
Nice To Haves
- MBA or MS a plus.
- BTM/distributed generation, data center, or midstream experience strongly preferred.
- Willingness to travel to project sites and counterparty locations (~25–40%).
Responsibilities
- Originate, qualify, and advance offtake counterparties (hyperscalers, data center developers, large industrial loads) for the islanded power package; manage teaser/CIM processes, NDAs, data rooms, and diligence responses.
- Structure and negotiate commercial frameworks — PPAs and power-as-a-service offerings, build-own-transfer, JV, and asset sale structures — in coordination with legal, finance, and executive leadership.
- Build and maintain the opportunity pipeline: market screening, site and counterparty analysis, competitive intelligence on the ERCOT BTM power landscape (including SB 6 dynamics).
- Support underwriting, diligence, and execution of M&A and investment opportunities across power generation, infrastructure, and adjacent platforms.
- Prepare board- and counterparty-quality materials: financial summaries, capacity/energization plans, marketing collateral, and transaction documentation.
- Manage multi-vendor development execution across OEM (engine/generator supply), BOP packagers, EPC contractors, owner's engineers, and environmental consultants — scope alignment, interfaces, deliverables, and schedule.
- Drive the integrated project schedule: equipment delivery sequencing, energization ramp, and permitting critical path (TCEQ air authorizations, Title V, county/construction permits).
- Administer purchase orders, contracts, and milestone payment structures; track budget vs. committed CapEx and manage change control.
- Coordinate technical workstreams — emissions modeling and permitting strategy, fuel supply agreements, interconnection-independent (islanded) electrical design, BESS integration — with internal and external engineering teams.
- Report program status, risks, and decisions to the VP of EPC and executive leadership; own action tracking and vendor accountability.
