Description
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 and logistics hubs, 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.
At Terawatt, we execute humbly and with urgency to provide tailored solutions for fleets that delight our clients and support the transition of transportation.
Role Overview
Reporting into the VP of Development, the Public Affairs Director (PAD) leads Terawatt’s local and community affairs across targeted cities and counties, ensuring constructive engagement with residents, civic leaders, and local stakeholders to support project delivery, entitlements, and operational success. The PAD serves as the company’s trusted representative in communities, proactively monitoring local political, regulatory, and social dynamics, and turning potential challenges into constructive partnerships.
This role is distinct from the Director of Policy, who manages federal and state legislative and agency engagement. The PAD focuses on local-level issues, helping the company navigate community sentiment, municipal regulations, and neighborhood dynamics that affect EV commercial charging hub projects.
The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of strategy, stakeholder engagement, and operational impact, is comfortable in high-visibility public forums, and has the judgment and influence to advise leadership and advance Terawatt’s mission.
Why This Role Is Exciting
This role offers the chance to make a real impact by shaping how the company engages with local communities and navigates complex neighborhood dynamics. You will work at the intersection of strategy, stakeholder engagement, and reputation management, taking on visible, high-stakes challenges that require creativity, judgment, and influence. This is a builder’s role, giving you the opportunity to develop frameworks, playbooks, and approaches that define how the company interacts locally for years to come. By turning potential challenges into constructive partnerships and collaborating across functions with senior leaders, your work will directly strengthen the company’s credibility, trust, and long-term success in the communities we operate.
