Our Values

Six core values guide how we work: commitments we make to each other. Our pace is set by a simple conviction: imperfect action beats perfect inaction, so we move with purpose, adapt without ego, and measure ourselves by progress rather than activity. Ownership travels with autonomy. Your name is on the work, and the best answer wins the conversation, wherever it lives. That candor works because of what surrounds it: people who show up with intention and have each other's back, tough on ideas and generous with people. Our customers feel this as reliability earned daily, every interaction treated as a chance to build something lasting. And underneath it all is why the work matters. The climate doesn't wait, and the stakes are also human: behind every checklist and every inspection is a person going home safely. We call it "This work has a heartbeat” — it's what the other five rest on.

As a Development Manager at Terawatt, you will lead development deals for Terawatt Charging Centers. Your key responsibilities will include leading the full development lifecycle including: site due diligence, entitlement, design, permitting, pre-construction, support to the construction team during the build period, and leading the investment from inception to operation. You will work closely with the company’s management team including the Real Estate, Energy, Finance, Revenue, Legal, and Construction to deliver high quality projects on time and on schedule. Additionally, you will own the assumptions for the financial modeling of development projects, iterate on the model throughout the lifetime of the investment, and present memorandums to executive leadership.

You will leverage your in-depth experience to deliver projects that delight customers. A growth mindset, attention to detail, and strong communication skills are essential for success; you will encounter many “first of their kind” situations as the market continues to develop. You will regularly interact with external stakeholders, including contractors, consultants, customers, and local authorities, and will be expected to travel to project sites as necessary for the successful outcomes of your projects.

By delivering world class projects, you and the team will allow Terawatt to help an increasing number of fleets to electrify with confidence and decarbonize their operations. This role reports to the Vice President of Development.
