Successful candidates will bring analytical and technical expertise to lead the development of our market analytics, fundamentals, and deal structuring efforts to support origination and financing of new project development opportunities and the commercial contracting of clean power, feedstock, industrial gas, carbon dioxide, and environmental attribute sales from NET Power plants.  

You will develop macro and project-level financial models and forecasts to evaluate project economics and conduct thorough risk assessments across the energy, environmental and regulatory markets.  In addition, you will be a critical resource to support ongoing market studies to assess Net Power’s value and story by benchmarking NET Power against other technologies, constructing TAM/SAM/market share forecast models, supporting regulatory and policy initiatives, and contributing to the siting and origination of NET Power projects. This role requires a strong background in energy markets, macro and project-level modeling expertise, and the ability to collaborate cross-functionally with both internal and external stakeholders and resources. 

This position is eligible to sit in either our Durham, NC or Houston, TX office.

Key Responsibilities 

Origination Team Support: 

• Close collaboration with the origination team and project partners to aggregate data and develop tools to identify and evaluate the “bright-spots” to support the optimal siting and origination of NET Power plant projects with a focus on power, CO2, and gas supply pricing, energy and compliance markets, and policy support.   
• Offer analytical insights and strategic guidance to aid in project origination and development efforts. 
• Support origination team with updating financial projections and materials for board and customer meetings.   

Forecast Model and Market Intelligence Development: 

• Develop macro and project level financial models to evaluate and support development of originated projects and the commercial contracting of project commodities (fuel supply, clean power and nitrogen, CCUS, etc.) and environmental attributes. Project models will be used to help drive internal decision making and evaluate and prioritize projects that create the most value and opportunity for NET Power and project partners.   
• Develop capabilities to challenge techno-economic assumptions and “stress-test” models with varying levels of inputs across the energy, carbon, and compliance markets.   
• Work closely with origination, finance, and application engineering to update model assumptions and forecasts taking into consideration local site conditions, climate, and material changes and updates to NPWR design and process improvements.
