Senior Solar Developer

About Wunder

Wunder is building a Modern Energy Company.

We were founded with one simple vision: to address the greatest crisis of our generation by accelerating the deployment of solar energy. In doing so, we help businesses, municipalities, and schools save money by delivering clean on-site power. We convert simple warehouses into electrified industrial platforms built for the future. We enable the nation’s leading commercial and industrial real estate firms to capture the benefits of solar across their properties. We align ESG goals with revenue targets, and the renewable energy assets we’re deploying today will power America’s tomorrow.

Wunder currently holds more than $1 billion in solar assets under management and capital commitments. Our team has evaluated more than 10,000 properties for solar across all 50 states. Our average solar system - about 480 kilowatts in size - can offset 350,000 pounds of coal burned each year of system operation!

The Role

We have an amazing opportunity for an energetic, deal-oriented, and experienced solar development professional to solve hard problems and push renewable energy forward. Our solar project development team is rapidly acquiring commercial customers and developing solar across the country alongside our national network of solar partners.  Specifically, you’ll work in partnership with Wunder’s Account Management team to develop commercial-scale solar projects across the country. You'll go beyond a traditional development role as you will also bring standardization into the untapped sub-megawatt commercial and industrial market by leveraging Wunder’s industry-leading technology platform.(If you’re the type of candidate that we’re looking for, your ears just perked up!) 

If you get excited about unlocking the untapped commercial and industry market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, closing million-dollar deals every week, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you.

You’re excited about using technology to standardize commercial solar, and you’re eager to partner with Product & Engineering to shape our technology strategy for years to come.

You take a high-motor approach to execution and you aggressively work to reduce risk and get ahead of problems before they impact project timelines. In other words, you like to GET. IT. DONE.

• You Have a Team Ethos - You thrive in a creative, inventive, fast-paced rapid-growth environment, with people who are passionate about their work and mission. You’re not just excited to work cross-functionally, you demand it.

• You Believe That No Problem is Too Hard - In an industry where people are constantly stuck, we find ways to get it done. You know how to articulate and roll out solutions, recognizing there are many solutions to the same problem.
