Director of Project Development

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Blue Energy’s mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

ROLE SUMMARY

The Director of Project Development will own the end-to-end progression of identified project sites - from initial screening and land diligence through permitting, interconnection, and pre-construction readiness. This leader will establish a clear, data-driven process for project advancement and manage a growing team of developers to deliver measurable results across the site pipeline.

The role requires translating complex project development work into concise, strategic updates for senior leadership and ensuring accountability through metrics and process discipline.
