The posting

New Leaf Energy is an experienced clean energy developer that partners with landowners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to accelerate the transition to a world powered by renewable energy. We identify high-value sites, work with landowners and local communities to develop them, and partner with long-term asset owners to bring the most impactful clean energy projects to life.

New Leaf Energy is seeking an Associate Project Developer to join our growing Mid-Atlantic development team. This position is an opportunity to join an outstanding company in a high-leverage role. Our ideal applicant will be a tenacious, determined, creative problem-solver, self-motivated and independent, a great communicator, and highly organized, with the ability to manage numerous tasks in parallel and to prioritize competing demands.

This position may be filled out of our Lowell, MA or Boston, MA offices. We value in-person collaboration and offer a hybrid work environment. Hybrid employees work in the office at least two out of every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and are free to work from the office or from home on other days.

About the Role:

The Associate Project Developer (APD) contributes directly to the success of the company by effectively and efficiently identifying leads and screening project opportunities.

Lead Prospecting

You will then identify and research leads through targeted land campaign work, including mailers, phone calls, and other outreach. Using our Salesforce CRM system, you will document all opportunities and take point on calling landowners and then creating due diligence packages for project developers to review. Once landowner interest has been established, you will schedule initial meetings with landowners and transition qualified opportunities the project developers on your team.

Project Due Diligence/Entitlement Management

New Leaf Energy utilizes a Value Stream Mapping (VSM) process that takes a lean approach in managing opportunities from initial discovery to closing. Project due diligence tasks you will be responsible for include desktop reviews including topography, soil conditions, access, and the likelihood of wetlands and environmental restrictions on potential project sites. Your management will extend into requesting quotes and releasing additional on-site work such as surveying, wetlands flagging, and site walks. Using our Salesforce system, you will update project budgets and create project spend requests. In addition, you will be responsible for monitoring and managing the completion of site discovery items that are prepared by subcontractors.

  • Initiate and send initial LOIs and leases;
  • Follow up with Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) administrators for timely delivery of decision documents;
  • Complete cash flow models to assess the impact of changing cost or incentive conditions on projects;

  • Support the company’s efforts towards continuous improvement and standard process development.

Project Closing

In addition, you will coordinate the execution of any needed contract amendments, which may include getting documents notarized. You will prepare project data rooms to support the marketing of the projects, and support project teams during sale due diligence by gathering additional information as needed. You may be asked to complete other duties as required.

Market diligence

Due to the dynamic nature of our industry, ideal projects often evolve over time as new technology is introduced and policy adapts to meet the demands of the regional energy markets.
