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. 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.ResponsibilitiesOwn data centre development in Europe end-to-end: from market entry strategy and early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisationEvaluate and prioritise European markets - Nordics, Iberia, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, France, CEE - based on power availability and price, grid connection timelines, land, fibre connectivity, climate, permitting regimes, and incentivesAssess sites from technical, planning, power, and infrastructure perspectivesDevelop grid connection and power strategies with European TSOs, DSOs, and national utility providers across target marketsStructure and support development financing: capital planning, project finance, and working with investors and lenders to fund development through deliveryLead planning, permitting, environmental assessment, and stakeholder engagement processes in each jurisdictionIdentify and mitigate technical, commercial, and development risksEnsure projects are deliverable, scalable, and aligned with construction requirementsRequirementsExperience developing data centres or large-scale infrastructure projects in Europe, taken from early-stage development through design, permitting, and delivery readinessDeep knowledge of key European data centre geographies and why they matter - grid capacity, permitting dynamics, power markets, and where new capacity can realistically be delivered at speedStrong understanding of European planning and grid connection processes, including working with TSOs, DSOs, and national regulatorsStrong technical understanding of data centre infrastructure, including power, cooling, and utility systems, with the ability to evaluate engineering decisions and challenge technical assumptionsUnderstanding of development financing for infrastructure projects, including project finance structures and investor requirementsHighly analytical, self-directed, and comfortable with significant ownershipWillingness to travel across Europe; additional European languages are a plusBenefitsCompetitive salaryBiannual bonus schemeFully expensed tech to match your needs
