Description
Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy – fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $210M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co-Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more. We're creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing renewable generation and grid infrastructure to powering the next generation of AI and compute-intensive industries. But we’re not stopping there. We’re also building the Energy Network: a decentralised platform of smart devices to electrify our homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability - a critical foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries. As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and data center capacity, the bottleneck is no longer chips – it is energy, grid infrastructure, and the ability to deliver new capacity at speed.  Responsibilities Lead data center from early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisation Assess sites from technical, planning, power, and infrastructure perspectives Develop grid connection and power strategies with National Grid, DNOs, and utility providers Support planning, permitting, and stakeholder engagement processes Identify and mitigate technical and development risks Ensure projects are deliverable, scalable, and aligned with construction requirements Requirements Experience developing data centers or large-scale infrastructure projects Strong technical understanding of data center infrastructure, including power, cooling, and utility systems, with the ability to evaluate engineering decisions and challenge technical assumptions Strong understanding of AUS planning and grid connection processes Experience taking projects from early-stage development through design, permitting, and delivery readiness Highly analytical, self-directed, and comfortable with significant ownership Benefits Competitive salary Biannual bonus scheme Fully expensed tech to match your needs
