Project Director

Mission

TAR’s mission is to power intelligence for the world. We are building the world’s first off-grid power plant for data centers powered by renewable technologies.

We firmly believe AI should be built in the US for the benefit of all people. For that, power must be fast, clean and scalable. We are singularly focused on delivering GW-scale power faster than anyone has ever done, by rethinking every layer of the stack.

We vertically integrate to solve every bottleneck, from racking systems to power electronics to dispatch algorithms to on-site construction.

Leave your mark on the future of civilization-scale energy infrastructure.

Company

TAR is both a hardware and software company, we are building out massive, critical, physical infrastructure. TAR is working directly with one of the largest compute providers to scale and deploy 5GWs by 2028.

We operate on…

• High ownership. High Agency. Own project end-to-end. Great people don’t need to be managed.

• Speed. We achieve great things on incredible timelines. We push ourselves to go faster.

• First principles. No ego. No hierarchy. Challenge every assumption.

• Passion. Solving the energy problem is one of the largest challenges that faces the world now and in the future.

About the role

As Project Executive, you own day-to-day execution of our GW-scale renewable energy projects, keeping the assigned project on target schedule and budget from initial planning through commissioning. Because TAR runs an owner-led, EPCM-as-agent delivery model, you administer EPC contracts and coordinate suppliers, engineers, constructors & the project team. This is a role for an experienced project manager, based in Austin with regular time at the project site in West Texas.

• 3+ years managing a team of direct/in-direct reports.

• Project management experience on a portfolio of utility scale scale solar projects.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Project or Primavera P6.

• Experience administering EPC contracts, including scope, change orders, and contractor performance management.

• Strong understanding of schedule analysis and project baselines.

Nice to have

• Experience delivering multi-generation source medium-large scale microgrids (wind, solar, BESS, gas).

• Has built a team from the ground up.

• Owner-side experience at a developer or IPP.

• Experience delivering projects including BESS (battery energy storage systems).
