Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast.
We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.
We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.
We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes.
By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.
As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and data centre capacity, the bottleneck is no longer chips: it's energy, grid infrastructure and the ability to deliver new capacity at speed.
This role leads data centre projects across Australia from concept through to Ready-to-Build and energisation, owning the technical and development workstreams that turn a site into a deliverable project.
