Fractal Power•New York, NY

About The Position

Fractal Power is a vertically integrated power company built for the modern grid. We own and operate across the entire stack, combining utility-scale energy storage infrastructure with algorithmic trading and dispatch to deliver power precisely where and when it’s needed most. We are backed by the world’s leading infrastructure and deeptech investors, including Riot, Definition, and Worldbuild. Demand for power is growing at the fastest rate since WWII yet supply is stranded behind worsening transmission and interconnection bottlenecks. The new economy requires a new model of power delivery, one that’s vertically integrated, algorithmically operated, and co-located with demand. We solve the last-mile infrastructure problem by vertically integrating across the entire value chain of American power - from greenfield development, to algorithmic optimization, dispatch, and power trading across a fleet of distributed resources - allowing us to deliver power where and when it's needed most on the grid. We have the ambition, the team, and the zeal to create the next great power company and we are looking for fanatical people to join us.

Requirements

3+ years managing utility-scale energy or infrastructure projects through construction and into operation, at a developer, IPP, owner’s engineer, or EPC contractor.
Demonstrated personal ownership of schedule and budget on projects you drove to completion, with the ability to walk through your critical path, what threatened it, and what you did about it
Command of construction contracts from the owner’s side: EPC scope, work orders, change orders, notices, milestone and completion criteria, warranties, and liquidated damages
Exceptional organization and follow-through. You plan in detail, you track every open item to closure, and nothing handed to another party gets lost
Fluent in English
Willingness to travel to project sites across Texas

Responsibilities

Own the schedule, budget, and commercial operation date for every project assigned to you, from site control and interconnection application through energization, commissioning, and COD.
Build and maintain the integrated master schedule for each project, sequencing land, interconnection, permitting, procurement, engineering, EPC construction, and utility work into a single critical path.
Act as the owner-side administrator of the EPC contract: issue and manage work orders, review and negotiate change orders, track milestone completion and payment, and hold contractors to scope, schedule, and quality.
Drive permitting and AHJ approvals across counties and municipalities, and coordinate with transmission and distribution utilities, electric cooperatives, and ERCOT through energization and market entry
Maintain a live risk register and a project status report that is the single source of truth on where each project stands, force decisions before they turn into delays, and escalate early with a recommended path
Plan and manage commissioning, energization, and turnover to operations, including as-builts, warranties, spare parts, O&M mobilization, and the handoff of assets into our dispatch and trading operations
Represent Fractal on site and with landowners, contractors, utilities, and local officials, and enforce safety and quality expectations even where the EPC carries execution responsibility
Build Fractal’s project controls and execution playbook
