UK Infrastructure Development Lead (Renewables and Data Center)

Fuse Energy is a forward\-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy – fast. We're combining first\-principles thinking with cutting\-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We're creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing renewable generation and grid infrastructure to powering the next generation of AI and compute\-intensive industries.

As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and data center capacity, the bottleneck is no longer chips – it is energy, grid infrastructure, and the ability to deliver new capacity at speed.

We are looking for a Data Center Development Lead to help solve that problem. You will be responsible for taking data center projects from concept through to Ready\-to\-Build and energisation. You will own the technical and development workstreams required to transform a site from an opportunity into a deliverable project. You will work across site selection, power strategy, grid connections, planning, engineering, design development, permitting, utility engagement, and delivery readiness.

This is a highly technical role for someone who understands both infrastructure development and engineering. You will help build the infrastructure that enables the next generation of AI.
