Company Overview

Tract is a team of digital infrastructure experts dedicated to accelerating responsible data center growth by developing master-planned data center parks with access to pre-positioned power and fiber in key markets.

Our approach is collaborative with governments, utilities, cities, and regions to ensure development is targeted for the optimal locations to maximize the economic development benefits for the community while being good stewards of the land and minimizing the impact on neighbors.

Position Overview

Tract is seeking a results-oriented energy development professional to join our growing Energy team.

This is a high-leverage execution role designed to support the SVP of Energy Development across a growing portfolio of energy development projects.

The successful candidate will coordinate complex internal and external activities across permitting, interconnection, fuels and related infrastructure, stakeholder engagement, development planning, commercial progression, and financing alignment. You will be responsible for helping projects move forward on scope, schedule, and risk; improving visibility across active workstreams; and supporting decision-quality materials for senior leadership.

Given that this is a growing function operating across an expanding portfolio, you can expect daily transitions from strategic planning to hands-on execution in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. If you're ready to shape the future of energy and data centers, Tract is the place to be.

  • Coordinate external consultants, development partners, utilities, agencies, local officials, landowners, fuel counterparties, community stakeholders, and other external partners while ensuring technical scope, commercial terms, stakeholder commitments, financing considerations, and project deliverables remain aligned.
  • Maintain project documentation, development records, project controls, reporting tools, and standardized operating frameworks to support institutional continuity, informed decision-making, and the long-term growth of the Energy Development function.

  • Ability to build and maintain schedules, risk registers, action logs, and executive-level reporting materials while translating technical, commercial, and project information into actionable insights for executives, potential investors, and Board members.
  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity while maintaining ownership, urgency, and follow-through.

Preferred Qualifications

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
