Senior Analyst, Asset & Portfolio Optimization

Fervo Energy Company•Houston, TX

6d•Hybrid

About The Position

Fervo Energy is advancing the next generation of geothermal energy to deliver 24/7 carbon-free power at scale. We combine subsurface engineering, horizontal drilling, and real-time data systems to unlock a clean, reliable energy resource built for the demands of modern power markets. As Fervo's asset portfolio grows and market participation becomes more complex, we are building the analytical infrastructure to optimize revenue, track performance, and support high-stakes commercial decisions with rigor. This role is the analytical engine behind that work. The Senior Analyst, Asset & Portfolio Optimization owns the financial performance analytics for Fervo's operating and contracted assets. You will build and maintain the models, forecasts, and dashboards that connect asset performance, market prices, operating constraints, and contract terms into a clear view of P&L — and translate that view into actionable recommendations for Asset Management, Finance, and commercial leadership. This is a builder role that requires comfort working from first principles with incomplete data. You will support budgeting, long-range planning, scenario analysis, and bid strategy while partnering closely with Plant Operations and the Geoblock Factory to ensure physical asset realities are accurately reflected in financial models. The expectation is that the tools and processes you build scale with the portfolio.
