Position Overview

Key Learning Objectives & Deliverables

Site Entitlement Dossier: Produce 1–2 comprehensive constructability and environmental screening reports for targeted California critical power sites.

Environmental & Safety Matrix: Build a reference guide tracking local zoning codes, fire setback minimums, and permit pathways across high-demand data center corridors.

Applied U.S. Infrastructure Literacy: Gain practical working knowledge of U.S. land-use entitlements, utility interconnection standards, and corporate project execution.

Responsibilities

Site Feasibility & Civil Layout Analysis:

– Review site plans and spatial constraints for proposed hydrogen storage and stationary fuel cell installations at data centers and commercial properties.

– Evaluate physical footprint scale, equipment safety setbacks, access corridors, and stormwater/grading requirements.

Environmental Permitting & Regulatory Diligence:

– Research and analyze municipal environmental review frameworks (e.g., CEQA in California), local zoning bylaws, and emissions standards relevant to on-site hydrogen and critical power generation.

– Assist in preparing technical and environmental documentation required for local planning commission submissions, fire marshal safety reviews, and air district filings.

Proactive Community & Stakeholder Alignment:

– Assist in identifying early community concerns regarding land use, visual impacts, and safety protocols prior to formal public hearings.

– Synthesize technical environmental assessments into clear, objective presentation assets to build neighborhood alignment.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Interface with executive leadership (Salim Rahemtulla, CEO; Bill O'Banion, SVP Corp. Dev./Eng/Supply Chain) on site feasibility deliverables.

Coordinate with engineering (Safin Moloo, General Intern) and business/finance (Kim Sales, Techno-Economic Analysis Intern; Raghu Kilambi, CFO) to ensure civil/environmental parameters align with technical specifications and project pro formas.

Required & Preferred Skills

Specific to Fanoos:
This internship bridges Fanoos’s dual background in civil engineering and environmental science with the critical infrastructure demands of PowerTap and NexxGenn Power. Fanoos will concentrate on the physical, environmental, and regulatory aspects of deploying decentralized clean energy systems and data center backup power.
