Owns the land, title, permitting and interconnection-readiness workstream across the portfolio — the technical and documentation backbone of getting a site to shovel-ready.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead title searches, encumbrance/easement schedules, and site-control documentation across multiple sites
• Coordinate zoning confirmations and permitting applications, including Indigenous engagement records where Crown land or consultation obligations apply
• Drive utility will-serve letters, large-load tariff treatment, and interconnection agreement documentation with each site's utility
• Oversee Phase I environmental assessments and related environmental documentation
• Own and maintain the data-room readiness tracker so each site's status is current for diligence with prospective tenants and investors
• Function as an embedded member of the predevelopment team — daily availability during core hours, regular check-ins with leadership

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years relative experience within the power industry
• Engineering or real estate background with direct experience in land acquisition, easements, or site control for power, pipeline, or large infrastructure projects
• Working knowledge of utility interconnection processes (will-serve letters, large-load tariffs, queue positions)
• Experience with or exposure to Indigenous consultation processes on Crown land
• Comfortable working as a single dedicated resource embedded in a small, fast-moving team
