About the company:

Terawatt Infrastructure is a commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure platform headquartered in the United States, focused on serving autonomous vehicles, rideshare fleets, and trucking fleets. The company designs, builds, and operates purpose-built charging sites tailored to the operational demands of commercial fleet operators, offering both private and shared charging solutions with features such as pull-through stalls, high-powered chargers, real-time data dashboards, and a reservation system. With over $1 billion raised, Terawatt positions itself as the operator of the nation's largest portfolio of purpose-built commercial fleet charging sites. Terawatt's mission centers on accelerating the transition to electric and autonomous transportation by removing the infrastructure burden from fleet operators, allowing them to focus on their core business rather than charging logistics. The company works collaboratively with cities, municipalities, and utilities to strategically site and power its facilities, ensuring community value and maximizing energy output and economic efficiency. Its hardware lab stress-tests all deployed equipment to guarantee charger uptime and vehicle-charger compatibility. What distinguishes Terawatt is its vertically integrated approach: the company handles land acquisition, utility coordination, equipment procurement, site construction, and ongoing operations under one platform. This end-to-end model, combined with its scale, gives Terawatt strategic pricing advantages and faster deployment timelines compared to more fragmented competitors in the EV charging space.

About Terawatt Infrastructure

The once in a century transition to autonomous and electric vehicles is underway and will require a multi-trillion-dollar investment in energy and charging infrastructure, and the real estate to site it on. Terawatt is the leader in delivering large scale, turnkey charging solutions for companies rapidly deploying AV and EV fleets. Whether it’s an urban mobility hub, or a carefully located multi-fleet hub for semi-trucks, Terawatt brings the talent, capabilities, and capital to create reliable, cost-effective solutions for customers on the leading edge of the transition to the next generation of transport.

With a growing portfolio of sites across the US in urban hubs and along key logistics and transportation corridors. Terawatt is building the permanent transportation and logistics infrastructure of tomorrow through a robust combination of capital, real estate, development, and site operations solutions. The company develops, finances, owns, and operates charging solutions that take the cost and complexity out of electrifying fleets. 

Our Values

Six core values guide how we work: commitments we make to each other. Our pace is set by a simple conviction: imperfect action beats perfect inaction, so we move with purpose, adapt without ego, and measure ourselves by progress rather than activity. Ownership travels with autonomy. Your name is on the work, and the best answer wins the conversation, wherever it lives. That candor works because of what surrounds it: people who show up with intention and have each other's back, tough on ideas and generous with people. Our customers feel this as reliability earned daily, every interaction treated as a chance to build something lasting. And underneath it all is why the work matters. The climate doesn't wait, and the stakes are also human: behind every checklist and every inspection is a person going home safely. We call it "This work has a heartbeat” — it's what the other five rest on.


We are building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. At Terawatt, we continuously strive to foster inclusion, humility, energizing relationships, and belonging, and welcome new ideas. We're growing and want you to grow with us. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.

In this role, you will develop proficiency in project controls tools including Procore and Smartsheets, supporting Senior PMs in the management of project schedules, budgets, and reporting. As you build expertise, you will take on increasing ownership and grow alongside a team committed to delivering world-class EV charging solutions for fleet and heavy-duty truck operators nationwide.

  • Travel as needed (anticipated to be under 30%) to project sites for consultation, progress updates, and issue  resolution.

  • Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.

  • 2+ years of experience in construction, project management or site development.

  • Foundational understanding of project management principles, including scheduling, budgeting, and documentation
