Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.
We’ve raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.
We’re building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.
We’re hiring a Data Centre Development Lead to find, win and take UK data centre projects from first opportunity through to Ready-to-Build. You’ll sit in our Development team and report to our Head of Projects, owning two routes to market: developing sites from scratch, and acquiring projects and platforms through M&A. Because Fuse supplies the power to our data centre sites, either through private wire or virtual PPA, you’ll work hand in hand with our generation, storage, trading and supply teams to build projects where the power solution is part of the product. You carry each project until it is fully de-risked and handed to our EPC team ready for construction.
Responsibilities

- Own UK data centre development end-to-end, greenfield and brownfield, from first opportunity through to Ready-to-Build

- Secure land through options, leases and acquisitions
Power and grid connection
- Own the power solution for every site with Fuse’s Data Centres, whether private wire, virtual PPA or both
- Lead grid connection strategy and applications with NESO, TOs and DNOs, and own the critical path to energisation
Planning and consenting
- Lead planning, environmental assessment and consenting strategy, and manage consultants, counsel and local authorities to secure approvals on a realistic timeline
M&A
- Originate acquisition targets, from early-stage sites to Ready-to-Build projects and developer platforms
