It is well suited to someone who is motivated, persuasive, organized, eager to learn, and comfortable working independently in a phone- and email-driven role, with in-person follow-up where needed. Strong candidates may come from land acquisition, inside or outside sales, business development, right-of-way, real estate, agriculture, or other relationship-driven roles.

Remote work arrangements are subject to change with appropriate notice based on company needs. Frequent travel across U.S. states to visit project sites and engage with local communities should be expected.

Opportunity Qualification and Field Coordination Gather and communicate key site and landowner information needed to assess opportunity quality and move prospects forward. Assess property quality in the field or remotely in coordination with internal teams, including development and interconnection. Work independently to source and pursue opportunities while operating within the Company’s values, thresholds, and requirements. Work from prospect lists and contribute additional opportunities through self-generated outreach and local relationship-building. Share insights, landowner feedback, and observations that may improve outreach strategy, messaging, and conversion. Pipeline Discipline and Execution Maintain accurate and timely records in the Company’s CRM, including outreach activity, notes, next steps, and opportunity status. Use company systems and tools with reasonable discipline and consistency to support visibility, coordination, and follow-through.
