Role OverviewOwn water and wastewater infrastructure strategy across Fluidstack's full portfolio of data center sites, from initial site assessment and water rights diligence through supply agreements, permitting, and construction. Assess water supply risk and delivery feasibility for new sites before lease commitments are made, flagging constraints early enough to keep them off the build schedule.
What You Will Do
Negotiate water supply and wastewater agreements with local authorities, utilities, and service providers across US markets, and own the relationships that make those deals move. Drive compliance with water withdrawal limits, NPDES and pre-treatment permit conditions, and end-user flow agreements, tracking data and catching anomalies before they surface as operational or regulatory issues.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You've personally owned water and wastewater infrastructure for industrial or data center projects from site selection through construction, across multiple concurrent sites. You've negotiated water supply and wastewater agreements with local utilities and authorities, and closed deals where supply volume, rights, or infrastructure access wasn't straightforward.
Requirements
- Personal ownership of water and wastewater infrastructure for industrial or data center projects from site selection through construction, across multiple concurrent sites.
- Negotiation of water supply and wastewater agreements with local utilities and authorities, and closing deals where supply volume, rights, or infrastructure access wasn't straightforward.
- Tracking of water policy, legal rights, and regulatory changes across active US markets and knowledge of when a state rule or permit condition is going to affect a site before anyone else flags it.
- Work with NPDES permits, industrial pre-treatment permits, or decentralized wastewater systems in a US context, and ability to navigate the permit process without outside guidance.
- Quarterbacking across development, engineering, design, construction, and operations on water issues, keeping all open items visible and moving without losing anything in the handoffs.
- Clear writing skills to produce an external water narrative a customer or regulator can act on, and direct negotiation skills to close a difficult commercial negotiation with a water authority.
Benefits
- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity)
