Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and data centre capacity, the bottleneck is no longer chips: it's energy, grid infrastructure and the ability to deliver new capacity at speed. This role leads data centre projects across Australia from concept through to Ready-to-Build and energisation, owning the technical and development workstreams that turn a site into a deliverable project.

Responsibilities

• Lead data centre projects from early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisation
• Assess sites from technical, planning, power and infrastructure perspectives
• Develop grid connection and power strategies with grid operators and utility providers
• Support planning, permitting and stakeholder engagement processes
• Identify and mitigate technical and development risks
• Ensure projects are deliverable, scalable and aligned with construction requirements

Requirements

• Experience developing data centres or large-scale infrastructure projects
• Strong technical understanding of data centre infrastructure, including power, cooling and utility systems, with the ability to evaluate engineering decisions and challenge technical assumptions
• Strong understanding of Australian planning and grid connection processes
• Experience taking projects from early-stage development through design, permitting and delivery readiness
• Highly analytical, self-directed and comfortable with significant ownership

Benefits

• Competitive salary and eligibility for equity
• Biannual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Private health insurance
• Breakfast and dinner allowance for office-based employees
