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, land, and fiber in key markets where hyperscale and AI demand is going. 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. Tract is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with real estate holdings throughout the United States.
Position Overview:
Tract is seeking a results-oriented utility development leader to join our growing Energy team. This is a new leadership role designed to serve as the primary executor of power development strategy within an assigned state or group of states. Reporting to a regional Vice President of Utility Development, the Director will own all utility engagement, infrastructure coordination, and power delivery execution within their assigned market — bridging the gap between senior portfolio leadership and project-level individual contributors.
The successful candidate will lead technically complex electrical infrastructure projects at scale, build relationships with electric utilities, regulators, and engineering partners, and take ownership of interconnection, permitting, and infrastructure delivery across multiple concurrent data center campus developments. You will be responsible for coordinating internal and external resources to achieve results on scope, schedule, and budget, report progress, and escalate issues for successful resolution.
Given that this is a growing team operating across an expanding portfolio, you can expect daily transitions from strategic to tactical. You must be comfortable with business ambiguity and working in an entrepreneurial environment. If you're ready to shape the future of energy and data centers, Tract is the place to be.
Job Responsibilities:
The candidate will have experience and practical expertise in the following:
- Own long-term execution of power development strategy in assigned state markets, including all infrastructure and supply solutions required to deliver Tract's powered land product
- Lead engagement with electric utilities to develop and deliver HV and MV electrical infrastructure (transmission, substation, and distribution) for large-scale data center campuses
- Manage interconnection processes, utility studies, engineering coordination, and regulatory engagement at the state level
- Oversee siting and construction coordination of transmission, substation, and distribution infrastructure across extensive campus developments; typical energy usage increases in 300 MW - 1,000 MW increments across multiple properties in a development area
