Original job description
Power & digital infrastructure - Data centers · onsite/hybrid
Location options
Alberta / British Columbia / Ontario / Manitoba / Saskatchewan
Opportunity profile
We are building our network of power generation development leaders for behind-the-meter and campus-scale generation serving data center and industrial loads.
As grid capacity becomes the binding constraint on digital infrastructure across North America, on-site generation has moved from contingency to strategy, and this is the role at the centre of that shift. You will have developed gas-fired, cogeneration, or hybrid generation from concept through financial close.

Requirements
- Development of generation assets from concept to financial close
- Turbine and reciprocating engine technology selection, including aeroderivative and modular configurations
- EPC contractor selection and negotiation for generation packages
- Commercial structuring for on-site or behind-the-meter generation, including tolling, energy services, PPA, or equivalent arrangements where applicable
- Realism about long-lead equipment timelines in the current market
Screening question: Have you taken a gas-fired or cogeneration asset above 25MW from concept through financial close, and what was your specific role in technology selection?
Benefits
Typical market compensation
Canada: CAD 200,000 – 260,000 base, plus variable
The applicable range and total-rewards structure will vary by employer, location, scope, employment structure, incentives, equity, travel, shift and project conditions.
