Associate, Real Estate Investment & Development

EV Realty accelerates the adoption of commercial EV fleets by focusing on the fundamental constraint all electrified fleets will face: low-cost, reliable and scalable access to grid-scale power.

Today’s electrical grid is complex, dynamic and ever evolving. It is also the source of fuel that will power the world’s shift to electrified transportation, requiring nearly 100 GWh of additional annual electricity demand and $125B of investment in EV chargers, grid infrastructure, transmission lines, renewable energy and storage in the U.S. by 2030.

But securing grid access and capacity to deploy significant additional EV charging load is a challenge, with desired charging locations often requiring lengthy, expensive and under-utilized infrastructure upgrades, if feasible at all.

Unless you know where – and how – to look.

EV Realty combines commercial real estate and project siting acumen with energy markets and grid optimization expertise to identify, design and build out the premier DC Fast Charging infrastructure platform for commercial EV fleets.

We develop, own, and operate purpose-built EV charging hubs designed to solve the critical barrier to fleet electrification: access to reliable, low-cost, scalable grid power. Our Powered Properties® are strategically located to serve fleet customers where they operate, providing dedicated, secure charging solutions where and when they need it most. We build with reliability and scale in mind, delivering the infrastructure that mission-critical commercial fleets require to keep moving.

We believe in transparency, ownership, and building things the right way – for our customers and for our team. If you're excited to help build the new era of commercial transportation, we'd love to meet you.

The Role:

As a Real Estate Investment & Development Associate you will support the expansion of EV Realty’s owned real estate portfolio, comprising both operating low-coverage industrial assets and green/brownfield sites held for development as high-powered EV fleet charging facilities. Reporting to the Head of Real Estate & Development and collaborating closely with in-house Data Science, Engineering, Product, Business Development and Finance teams, you will take on ownership of market coverage for up to four US markets for acquisition and pre-development of new properties. Requiring a better-than-institutional understanding of how real estate value is actually created and captured, the role will involve all activities typical of a real estate acquisition process – including sourcing, underwriting, diligence, and investment committee memo preparation/presentation – as well as power infrastructure, entitlement, and commercial considerations unique to EV Realty’s high-powered real estate thesis and fund mandate.

This role will be located in San Francisco, CA or Los Angeles, CA. 

This role is eligible for EV Realty’s Equity Incentive Plan, health, dental, and vision insurance fully paid for by EV Realty, One Medical membership, online mental health support, virtual doctor visits, FSA, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, commuter benefits, and a health and wellness stipend. EV Realty is a hybrid/remote work company.

EV Realty is an equal-opportunity employer. At EV Realty, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
