About the role
TL;DR
Own water and wastewater infrastructure strategy for data center sites.
- •Own water and wastewater infrastructure strategy across Fluidstack's full portfolio of data center sites.
- •Key Responsibilities Own water and wastewater infrastructure strategy across Fluidstack's full portfolio of data center sites, from initial site assessment and water rights diligence through supply agreements, permitting, and construction.
- •Assess water supply risk and delivery feasibility for new sites before lease commitments are made, flagging constraints early enough to keep them off the build schedule.
- •Negotiate water supply and wastewater agreements with local authorities, utilities, and service providers across US markets, and own the relationships that make those deals move.
- •Drive compliance with water withdrawal limits, NPDES and pre-treatment permit conditions, and end-user flow agreements, tracking data and catching anomalies before they surface as operational or regulatory issues.
- •Coordinate water workstreams across Development, Engineering, Design, Construction, and Operations so water timelines never gate a build.
- •Requirements You've personally owned water and wastewater infrastructure for industrial or data center projects from site selection through construction, across multiple concurrent sites.
- •You've negotiated water supply and wastewater agreements with local utilities and authorities, and closed deals where supply volume, rights, or infrastructure access wasn't straightforward.
- •You track water policy, legal rights, and regulatory changes across active US markets and know when a state rule or permit condition is going to affect a site before anyone else flags it.
- •You've worked with NPDES permits, industrial pre-treatment permits, or decentralized wastewater systems in a US context, and you can navigate the permit process without outside guidance.
- •You quarterback across development, engineering, design, construction, and operations on water issues, keeping all open items visible and moving without losing anything in the handoffs.
- •You write clearly enough to produce an external water narrative a customer or regulator can act on, and directly enough to close a difficult commercial negotiation with a water authority.
