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.

Responsibilities

• Own data centre development in Europe end-to-end: from market entry strategy and early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisation
• Evaluate and prioritise European markets - Nordics, Iberia, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, France, CEE - based on power availability and price, grid connection timelines, land, fibre connectivity, climate, permitting regimes, and incentives
• Identify and assess sites from technical, planning, power, and infrastructure perspectives
• Structure and support development financing: capital planning, project finance, and working with investors and lenders to fund development through delivery
• Lead planning, permitting, environmental assessment, and stakeholder engagement processes in each jurisdiction
• Mitigate technical, commercial, and development risks
• Ensure projects are deliverable, scalable, and aligned with construction requirements

Requirements

• Experience developing data centres or large-scale infrastructure projects in Europe, taken from early-stage development through design, permitting, and delivery readiness
• Deep knowledge of key European data centre geographies and why they matter - grid capacity, permitting dynamics, power markets, and where new capacity can realistically be delivered at speed
• Strong understanding of European planning and grid connection processes, including working with TSOs, DSOs, and national regulators
• Strong technical understanding of data centre infrastructure, including power, cooling, and utility systems, with the ability to evaluate engineering decisions and challenge technical assumptions
• Understanding of development financing for infrastructure projects, including project finance structures and investor requirements
• Highly analytical, self-directed, and comfortable with significant ownership
• Willingness to travel across Europe; additional European languages are a plus
