Position Overview:
Manager, Power Delivery is responsible for advancing Montera’s path-to-power strategy across development, construction, energization, and operations. This role coordinates utility infrastructure, power delivery schedules, commercial agreements, market analysis, and cross-functional execution to ensure power-related risks are identified early, decisions are well-supported, and utility milestones remain aligned with project and customer commitments.
The ideal candidate brings strong program-management discipline, practical utility and power-market knowledge, and the ability to translate technical, commercial, legal, and regulatory inputs into clear action plans. Success in this role means utility engagements are well-coordinated, energization risks are visible and actively managed, agreement obligations are tracked, and leadership has concise, decision-ready information.
Key Responsibilities and Deliverables:
Utility, Infrastructure & Commercial Coordination
- Lead utility, transmission, generation, and power-delivery workstreams from development through interconnection, construction, energization, service commencement, and operational readiness.
- Manage relationships, deliverables, and open issues across utilities, transmission providers, contractors, consultants, suppliers, customers, and internal stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain path-to-power schedules, energization milestones, budgets, risk registers, action logs, and critical-path dependencies across multiple projects.
- Support utility interconnection, substation, transmission, distribution, equipment procurement, commissioning, and service-readiness activities.
- Manage the development, negotiation, execution, and administration of utility, energy, and infrastructure agreements, including electric service agreements, interconnection agreements, facilities extension agreements, construction agreements, amendments, and related commercial arrangements.
- Track and administer agreement obligations, including deliverables, milestone payments, collateral, notices, reporting requirements, deadlines, approvals, and internal ownership.
- Coordinate technical, legal, commercial, finance, procurement, construction, and operations teams to maintain alignment, resolve issues, and escalate risks requiring leadership decisions.
- Prepare clear leadership and customer-facing updates on power delivery status, energization risks, cost impacts, utility requirements, and required decisions.
Energy Strategy & Market Support
- Support development and implementation of portfolio and site-specific energy strategies, including analysis of utility service, market supply, onsite generation, storage, and other power solutions.
- Manage load forecasting, tariff and rate analysis, energy budgeting, market assessments, commercial evaluations, and scenario-based decision support.
- Lead supplier solicitations, bid evaluations, and commercial comparisons for power supply, energy market services, and related advisory or operational support.
- Coordinate implementation of approved energy procurement and risk-management programs, including contract administration, collateral tracking, reporting, and internal handoffs.
- Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to develop metering, settlement, billing, and energy reporting processes that support customer, operational, and financial requirements.
- Monitor utility, ISO/RTO, regulatory, tariff, policy, and large-load requirements that may affect project delivery, customer commitments, operating costs, or future procurement optionality.
- Prepare forecasts, performance reporting, executive summaries, approval materials, and decision-support packages that translate complex power issues into clear recommendations.
Requirements
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Energy Management, Construction Management, Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered.
- 6–10+ years of experience managing utility, energy, power infrastructure, industrial, mission-critical, large-load, or data center programs.
- Working knowledge of electric transmission and distribution systems, utility interconnection processes, substations, generation, metering, tariffs, rate structures, utility agreements, and large-load service requirements.
- Experience coordinating utility providers, consultants, contractors, legal counsel, finance, engineering, construction, operations, customers, and executive stakeholders.
- Experience supporting contract administration, obligation tracking, schedule management, budgeting, risk tracking, procurement coordination, stakeholder reporting, and executive decision support.
- Ability to interpret technical, commercial, legal, regulatory, and financial inputs and translate them into clear action plans, recommendations, and communications.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare concise updates, issue summaries, meeting materials, and leadership-facing recommendations.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple active workstreams in a fast-paced development and delivery environment.
Preferred Skills:
- Experience with hyperscale data centers, utilities, energy infrastructure developers, IPPs, large-load customers, or other energy-intensive operating environments.
- Experience with substations, transmission, distribution, onsite generation, energy storage, microgrids, customer-build infrastructure, or utility asset-transfer arrangements.
- Familiarity with regulated and competitive power markets, energy procurement, scheduling, settlements, billing, hedging, collateral, and customer energy reporting.
- Experience supporting commissioning, energization, operational readiness, customer service commencement, or transition-to-operations activities.
- Familiarity with ISO/RTO processes, utility tariffs, state regulatory proceedings, NERC requirements, or large-load policy developments.
- PMP, PE, CEM, or other relevant professional credential.
