🌞 Job Opportunity: Project Developer – Utility Scale Solar & Storage (MISO Region)

📍 1-2 days in the Chicago Office | 💼 Full-Time | 🌱 Renewable Energy

We're partnering with a global energy infrastructure leader to help grow their U.S. clean energy platform—and they're hiring a Project Developer to lead the charge across MISO and PJM. If you're passionate about renewable energy and want to build projects that make an impact, this is your chance to step into a high-growth role with long-term opportunity.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead the full lifecycle development of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects—from site evaluation and land acquisition to permitting and pre-construction.

  • Collaborate with distributed, remote teams including interconnection, permitting, GIS, engineering, and legal experts.

  • Engage with landowners, local communities, environmental organizations, and permitting agencies.

  • Direct third-party consultants and ensure projects stay on time, on budget, and on track to hit key milestones.

  • Stay plugged into trends in the U.S. renewables market and spot opportunities before they hit the mainstream.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 3+ years of project development experience in MISO and/or PJM, ideally in solar or energy storage (or similar sectors like real estate or renewables).

  • Strong working knowledge of permitting, land acquisition, interconnection, and environmental assessments.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects and prioritize fast-moving timelines with ease.

  • Strong communicator with a collaborative, team-first mindset.

  • Comfortable working remotely and independently with cross-functional partners.

Why This Role:

  • Join a top-tier developer backed by a global energy brand with a long-term view on clean infrastructure.

  • Build utility-scale projects that matter—for customers, communities, and the climate.

  • Be part of a nimble, growing U.S. team with room for influence and impact.
