Summary
Our data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently delivers our innovative services. Meta’s Global Energy Team is seeking a commercially-experienced and technically-grounded energy professional to help develop and structure behind-the-meter (BTM) onsite generation solutions that accelerate data center capacity deployment. The Energy Manager (Onsite Generation Solutions) will own the origination and commercial development of onsite generation deals: building relationships with independent power producers and generation equipment manufacturers, validating that generation technologies meet the company’s requirements, confirming the supporting fundamentals are in place (gas supply, land, water, and permitting), and structuring and executing commercial agreements — including power purchase agreements (PPAs) — that deliver reliable, cost-competitive power outside traditional grid interconnection timelines.
This role serves as one of the company’s subject matter experts on BTM generation — natural gas turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, and related technologies — and supports downstream delivery, permitting, and operations teams as projects move from signed deal through construction and into operation.
Energy Manager - Onsite Generation Solutions Responsibilities:
Serve as one of the company’s subject matter experts on onsite and behind-the-meter generation, leading the identification, structuring, negotiation, and execution of commercial arrangements — power purchase agreements (PPAs), tolling agreements, capacity contracts, and equipment leases — with independent power producers, generation developers, and equipment manufacturers.
Build and grow strategic relationships with independent power producers, generation equipment manufacturers, engineering and construction firms, fuel suppliers, utilities, and regulators, serving as the primary commercial interface to the generation market.
Evaluate and validate generation technologies — gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and fuel cells — for fit against reliability, output, cost, and deployment requirements.
Assess deal feasibility by confirming the supporting fundamentals are in place — gas supply, land, water, and a viable permitting pathway — ahead of commercial commitment.
Develop and maintain total-cost-of-ownership frameworks on a $/MWh and $/kW-month basis, benchmarking against grid alternatives to inform deal selection and investment decisions.
Lead commercial and technical due diligence, partnering with legal counsel to structure deals that manage stranded-asset risk and preserve flexibility as sites transition to permanent grid service.
Partner with design and engineering teams on generation equipment standardization — evaluating vendors and narrowing specifications toward repeatable, cost-efficient deployment models.
Partner with site selection teams to evaluate powered-land opportunities and identify locations best positioned for near-term generation deployment.
Support downstream delivery, permitting, and construction teams through commercial operation — providing deal context, commercial continuity, and issue resolution as the contractual counterpart.
Support operational integration of commissioned assets — including cutover planning and tracking realized performance and cost against the commercial pro forma to inform future deals.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, design, construction, site development, sustainability, network planning, policy, communications, legal, and finance.
Ability to travel domestically (approximately 25%).
Bachelor's degree in a directly related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, energy, or a related discipline.
10+ years of experience in power project development, generation asset delivery, or commercial energy, with direct involvement in onsite or distributed generation projects.
Demonstrated experience structuring and negotiating commercial energy agreements (e.g., power purchase agreements) from origination through execution.
