We are looking for world-class talent to tackle challenging projects that will help power the planet with 100% clean energy.
First, the good news: Humans have installed a little over 1 TW of cumulative solar capacity over the last 20 years - solar is now the cheapest source of energy generation around the globe.
Now, the challenge: Humans have to build 3 TW of solar capacity every year for the next 30+ years. Planted is creating new technology to overhaul how we design, develop, and build solar power resources to make this happen.
And, we need help. We're expanding our team of curious, collaborative, and hands-on engineers and operators. Come own large parts of product, company, or business development and help make our big plans a reality!
As the Development Manager, you will work closely with our customers to convert a pipeline of prospective projects into permitted sites ready to generate carbon-free energy. You will own critical pieces of our project development process and apply your knowledge of solar plant development from site origination, interconnection, zoning, preliminary site design, and RFPs to support our customers. Successful candidates will possess solar market expertise, strong leadership and communication skills, energy and infrastructure financial acumen, and a desire to be a part of a growing, early-stage company. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with a talented and cross-functional engineering and business team with a high degree of empowerment and autonomy.
We prefer candidates located in the Bay Area, but we will consider candidates elsewhere (regular travel to Oakland and elsewhere will be required.)
The salary range for this full-time position is $80,000 - $120,000 plus stock options and benefits. Pay within the range is based on candidate experience, job-specific skills, education, and work location. The target experience for the position is 2 - 6 years.
