Development Analyst; Early Career

Fervo is working to build the most cost-effective, scalable geothermal power plants in the world. Delivering on this mission requires not just breakthrough technology, but the development engine to turn projects into reality – managing the partnerships, structuring the contracts, and building the internal tools that move a rapidly growing pipeline from concept to commercial operation. Joining Fervo's Development team means sitting inside that engine, working across commercial, development, and analytical work streams that directly shape how Fervo's Geo Clusters get built and financed.

We are seeking a Development Analyst who is energized by Fervo's mission and eager to take on broad, high-impact responsibility early in their career. Reporting to a Development Manage, this role is wide-ranging in scope, spanning project management, financial analysis, market and regulatory research, contract structuring, and internal tooling development. It is ideal for an analytical, organized self-starter who thrives on ambiguity, learns quickly, and wants front-row exposure to how large-scale clean energy projects come together in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.
