Energy Manager - ERCOT

Overview

Lancium develops gigawatt-scale campuses purpose-built for AI data centers, designing and orchestrating the full power infrastructure — from grid interconnection to behind-the-meter solar and large-scale energy storage. With over 5 gigawatts of capacity in various stages of development, our current projects rank among the largest in the world.

Backed by leading strategic and financial investors, including Blackstone, Shell, and Arclight, Lancium has spent six years building a best-in-class infrastructure platform and is now rapidly accelerating commercialization. The convergence of artificial intelligence and massive energy demand — balanced by the need for clean energy — represents one of the defining global challenges and opportunities of our time. Lancium sits at the center of this transformation, uniquely positioned to drive and enable unprecedented growth.

If you want to be part of this global shift and contribute to building the next generation of energy infrastructure, we invite you to join us.

• Provide daily customer updates on market fundamentals, plan progress, and performance against objectives, highlighting what’s working and what’s not.


• Define requirements for dashboards and analytical tools, ensuring customers have visibility into key metrics (market fundamentals, power prices, settlements, usage) and the Power Team has internal dashboards to track performance metrics tied to business success. Work with the Software Development Team to test and refine these tools prior to release.

• Optimize Market Operations: Develop effective working rhythms with QSEs, customers, and internal stakeholders to maximize value in ERCOT’s markets. Translate usage patterns and market developments into actionable strategies that minimize delivered energy costs.
