Responsibilities

  • Assess environmental risks and requirements and develop mitigations and strategies to support data center siting and development strategies.

  • Deliver environmental permits, approvals, and plans to enable on-time and compliant construction and operations for new data center locations.
  • Communicate environmental requirements, risks, and activities to internal and external project partners.
  • Coordinate with partner teams to optimize site designs considering natural resource or operational constraints.
  • Develop site development and permitting strategies that are environmentally responsible and sustainable.
  • Lead regulatory agency interactions and negotiations in support of environmental permit acquisition.
  • Develop, manage, and track metrics to evaluate project success.
