About Terawatt Infrastructure
The once in a century transition to autonomous and electric vehicles is underway and will require a multi-trillion-dollar investment in energy and charging infrastructure, and the real estate to site it on. Terawatt is the leader in delivering large scale, turnkey charging solutions for companies rapidly deploying AV and EV fleets. Whether it’s an urban mobility hub, or a carefully located multi-fleet hub for semi-trucks, Terawatt brings the talent, capabilities, and capital to create reliable, cost-effective solutions for customers on the leading edge of the transition to the next generation of transport.
With a growing portfolio of sites across the US in urban hubs and along key logistics and transportation corridors. Terawatt is building the permanent transportation and logistics infrastructure of tomorrow through a robust combination of capital, real estate, development, and site operations solutions. The company develops, finances, owns, and operates charging solutions that take the cost and complexity out of electrifying fleets.
Our Values
Six core values guide how we work: commitments we make to each other. Our pace is set by a simple conviction: imperfect action beats perfect inaction, so we move with purpose, adapt without ego, and measure ourselves by progress rather than activity. Ownership travels with autonomy. Your name is on the work, and the best answer wins the conversation, wherever it lives. That candor works because of what surrounds it: people who show up with intention and have each other's back, tough on ideas and generous with people. Our customers feel this as reliability earned daily, every interaction treated as a chance to build something lasting. And underneath it all is why the work matters. The climate doesn't wait, and the stakes are also human: behind every checklist and every inspection is a person going home safely. We call it "This work has a heartbeat” — it's what the other five rest on.
Role Description
Terawatt is building the infrastructure that enables the rapid scaling of electric vehicle adoption nationwide.

This role sits at the intersection of operational excellence and facilities stewardship. You will bring strong critical thinking, quantitative fluency, and cross-functional communication skills to manage complex, multi-site programs — balancing project schedules, budgets, and stakeholder needs while driving continuous improvement across Terawatt's charging network.
Reporting directly to the SVP of Operations, this role works in close collaboration with site and field operations teams.

Support vendor requests for proposal (RFP) development, ensuring proposals are structured for clear comparison and actionable decision-making
Develop and drive continuous improvement strategies across all operational activities to achieve cost efficiency and a high standard of service from internal teams and external vendors

Experience across the full project development lifecycle, including site acquisition, design, permitting, utility provisioning, procurement, contracting, and commissioning
Demonstrated project management skills with strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities
Working knowledge of facility maintenance programs and procedures, including safety, security, janitorial services, and landscaping
Familiarity with building codes, fire codes, and relevant health, safety, and compliance standards
Ability to work independently, make timely decisions, and coordinate across teams to drive optimal outcomes
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels of the organization
