This role will be instrumental in securing the energy infrastructure required to support Vantage's data center growth ambitions, ensuring power availability remains a key competitive advantage in an increasingly constrained market.
The successful candidate will be responsible for originating, negotiating and securing power solutions for both current and future data center developments, while leading engagement with utilities, regulators, developers and key market participants. The role will also oversee utility connection and energization activities through project execution, ensuring data center campuses are delivered in line with customer and business requirements.
This position requires close collaboration with Business Development, Site Selection, Sustainability, Construction, Operations, Sales, Marketing, Finance and the Executive Leadership Team to align energy strategy with Vantage's long-term growth objectives and customer commitments.
The ideal candidate combines the commercial mindset of an energy originator, the relationships of a utility executive, and the practical execution capability required to deliver critical power infrastructure.
