Associate or Manager, Development

About DESRI

DESRI (formerly D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments) is a market-leading owner and operator of renewable energy projects throughout the United States. We have acquired or developed approximately 11 gigawatts of contracted capacity across a portfolio of over 70 renewable energy projects in 24 states.

DESRI seeks a talented and highly motivated individual to join its team as either an associate or manager of development (title commensurate with experience). This role will lead the development of renewable energy projects and participate in the acquisition of renewable energy assets in an inclusive, collaborative, and engaging working environment.

DESRI developers are tasked with identifying, managing, and implementing early- and mid-stage renewable projects to mitigate risks to mature development, financing, construction, and long-term management. This can include identifying opportunities for new projects or investments in attractive markets for renewable energy, negotiating with real estate counterparties, identifying power marketing opportunities, and navigating technical interconnection and permitting issues. You’ll work with a team of other developers in a dynamic and agile organization. Day-to-day activities will include researching and communicating with counterparties (such as landowners, local and state permitting authorities, engineering and design professionals, electric utilities companies, corporate off-takers, and others) to effectively translate complex pieces of information into clear financial models while keeping projects on schedule and on budget.
