Energy Department

The Energy Department is dedicated to managing and optimizing the energy resources required to power our data centers while promoting sustainability and efficiency. The Energy department plays a critical role in ensuring our power solutions are cost-effective, support speed to market, have sufficient scale to meet growing AI load, and resilient to energy market fluctuations.

Position Overview

This role can be based remotely in Eastern Standard Time or Central Standard Time.

The Energy Delivery Manager plays a critical role in delivering power infrastructure for Vantage Data Centers' regional campus developments. This role is responsible for leading utility engagement, managing commercial delivery execution, and coordinating cross-functional workstreams to ensure on-time and cost-effective power delivery. While regulatory and policy support remains an important component-particularly given Wisconsin's active regulatory environment-the role is primarily focused on business execution, stakeholder coordination, and utility relationship management.

The ideal candidate brings strong project management skills and a proactive approach to navigating complex utility landscapes. This role will be the key interface with WE Energies, American Transmission Company (ATC), the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW), and internal teams to align utility service timelines with development and construction schedules, commercial goals, and customer readiness.
