About the role

Energy Associate role at Fluidstack focusing on diligence and modeling for site power projects, grid interconnection, and behind-the-meter generation across multiple US locations.

Responsibilities

  • Diligence prospective sites across both paths to power, grid interconnection and behind-the-meter generation, and turn each one into a go or no-go recommendation in days rather than weeks.
  • Build and own the delivered cost of power model across candidate sites and both paths, from tariffs and network upgrade exposure on the grid side to gas basis, transport, heat rate, and availability behind the meter.
  • Be the single source of truth on where every site stands, queue position and study milestones on the grid side, contracted fuel and generation position behind the meter, and what has to happen next on each.
  • Run the diligence file on every live site, tariff filings and interconnection studies, pipeline and interconnect agreements, air permits, offtake term sheets, and generation specifications, kept clean enough to walk a counterparty or a lender through cold.
  • Support the Leads through live negotiations with term sheet comparisons, sensitivity runs, counterparty and credit screens, and the one number that decides the question, delivered before the next call rather than after it.
  • Track the markets and the policy that set the rules we build under, ISO large load processes, rate cases and tariff changes, and gas fundamentals in the basins we are buying into.

Qualifications

  • You've built a model that someone traded, invested, or committed capital off, and you can defend every assumption in it under pressure.
  • You've read a contract, tariff, or study report closely and pulled out the two or three terms that actually change the economics, rather than summarising the whole thing.
  • You turn a disordered data room into a one page recommendation that names the thing the decision actually turns on.
  • You've caught a material error in someone else's work before it reached a decision maker, and you raised it rather than working around it.
  • You've been dropped into a market or an asset class you did not know and been useful inside a few weeks, and you can point to how you got up to speed.
  • You write up what you found the same day you found it, so a site file never depends on what is in your head.
