The posting

Position Overview

We have some awesome development plans for Illinois – and we’re looking for someone ready to step up and make them happen! Distributed Sun seeks an experienced renewable energy developer to focus on the origination permitting processes - and associated discovery and reporting - for portfolios of established, early-stage projects. Current efforts include Community Solar and Battery Storage projects; while the focus for this role is New York, New Jersey experience would be a bonus.

The Senior Project Developer will collaborate with other members of the Development Team taking responsibility for all aspects of project development. This may include site origination, design, interconnection, project budget management and financing. Critically, they will frequently represent the company and project, often alone, in front of various stakeholders and governing bodies.

About the Distributed Sun Group

Distributed Sun (DSUN) is a clean energy infrastructure provider, proudly independent since 2009, that develops, finances, owns, and operates solar and battery storage projects across the community solar, commercial & industrial, and utility-scale markets. We’ve delivered groundbreaking systems – many the first of their kind – in 17 states. Being nimble, forward-thinking, creatively bold, and constructively challenging is in our DNA, and we look for those same qualities in our team. It’s how we’ve led and thrived for over 15 years. Join us, and you’ll be part of a curious, committed team accelerating the clean energy transition through smart infrastructure and bold ideas.

DSUN is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. Employment decisions are made on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
