The Chief Development Officer / Head of Development will help build and lead TerraHash Energy’s project development platform — identifying qualified opportunities, advancing site and power strategy, managing development relationships and translating early-stage opportunities into execution-ready infrastructure projects.

Role Mandate

  • Build a disciplined US energy and infrastructure development pipeline aligned with TerraHash Energy’s strategic direction.
  • Own project development from origination and site evaluation through utility coordination, diligence and execution readiness.
  • Create the external partner network and internal decision framework needed to scale a credible project platform.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead origination, evaluation and development of renewable energy and infrastructure opportunities.
  • Advance site control, utility coordination, interconnection, permitting and development strategy.
  • Build relationships with landowners, utilities, EPC firms, engineering providers and strategic partners.
  • Coordinate technical, commercial and financial diligence across the project pipeline.
  • Establish development processes, reporting standards and decision gates suitable for a growing platform.
  • Work closely with company leadership on strategy, capital planning and external counterparties.

Preferred Profile

  • 10+ years of relevant experience in US energy, infrastructure or project development.
  • Strong understanding of power markets, interconnection, permitting, development economics and project execution.
  • Demonstrated ability to move projects from early-stage origination toward financeable or construction-ready milestones.
  • Existing relationships across utilities, developers, EPC, engineering, land or infrastructure capital are highly valued.
  • Builder mindset: comfortable creating systems, teams and processes in an early-stage environment.

What You Will Shape

  • TerraHash Energy’s initial project development pipeline and execution framework.
  • Partner ecosystem across energy, infrastructure, technology and capital.
  • Development standards and operating discipline as the company scales.
  • Long-term leadership structure around infrastructure development.
