VP / SVP, Engineering

VP / SVP, Engineering (Gas-Fired Power Generation / Data Center Infrastructure)

Location: Austin, TX

Reports to: COO

Company Overview: Our client is developing and operating gas-fired power infrastructure solutions for data center and mission-critical applications, focused on solving large-scale power constraints through build-own-operate generation assets. The company sits at the intersection of energy infrastructure and digital infrastructure, with a strong focus on speed-to-power, technical innovation, and scalable project execution.

This hire will be foundational in building out the platform’s engineering organization and helping shape how the company evaluates, develops, and executes projects going forward.

The Opportunity: This is a critical foundational leadership hire to build and lead our client’s engineering function. This is not a traditional large-team engineering management role overseeing huge internal self-perform organizations. This is a strategic engineering leadership role with hands-on technical depth, particularly in front-end conceptual engineering, while leveraging third-party engineering resources heavily.

The engineering org is expected to remain lean (likely 6–8 engineers max) with outside firms supporting detailed engineering. This person must be comfortable leading through influence, technical judgment, and third-party management.

Three Core Engineering Functions This Role Will Oversee

• Conceptual / Front-End Engineering (Highest Priority) Biggest emphasis, and center of gravity for the role.
  
  

Need Someone Strong In

• Powered site evaluation
• Equipment configuration decisions
• Plant layouts
• Technology selection
• Interface with site requirements/zoning/constraints
• Commercial and technical optimization at concept stage
• Development Engineering
  
  

Oversee

• Technical studies supporting project development
• Applications and development-stage engineering
• Utility and technical support workstreams
• Construction Engineering Support
  
  

Oversee Engineering Support During Execution

• Customer technical responses
• Field engineering support
• Non-conformance resolution
• Coordination with EPC / engineering partners
  
  

Qualifications

• Need someone who understands:
• Gas generation technologies
• Plant configurations
• Technical elements of gas infrastructure
• OEM / supplier landscape
• Equipment selection tradeoffs
• Strong preference for exposure across:
• Simple cycle
• Combined cycle
• Must understand who the major players are and how to evaluate technologies and suppliers
