Job Description
Project Overview:
LinkPast Solutions is an energy development firm seeking an expert technical grant writer with a documented track record of securing funding from the Department of Energy (DOE), NYSERDA, and/or USDA REAP.
We are developing two run-of-river hydroelectric facilities on the Black River in New York State. Combined, these plants are projected to generate 64,500 MWh of reliable, 24/7 baseload power annually to the NYISO grid.
Our Strategic Advantage (Why this project is shovel-ready):
Unlike many early-stage energy projects, we are not starting from scratch. We already hold the preliminary FERC permits for both sites. Furthermore, the vast majority of our Due Diligence (DD)—including previous environmental studies, civil engineering layouts, and site data—is already completed.
You will not need to hunt for baseline data; your role will be to synthesize our existing DD into winning proposals for the current administration's infrastructure and baseload-power initiatives, as well as New York State's clean energy mandates.
Scope of Work (90-Day Sprint):
Strategy: Review our existing DD and identify the 2 to 3 highest-probability grant solicitations currently open (e.g., DOE WPTO, TEAMER, Phase I SBIR, NYSERDA FlexTech, or USDA REAP).
Narrative Development: Craft highly technical, compelling grant narratives that align with federal goals ("baseload power," "grid reliability") and NY State goals ("Tier 1 RECs," "decarbonization").
Execution: Manage the submission process to secure non-dilutive funding for our FERC Pre-Application Document (PAD) soft costs and subsequent construction capital.
Required Experience:
Documented past performance winning grants from the DOE (EERE or WPTO) and/or NYSERDA.
Strong understanding of baseload energy infrastructure and financial modeling/pro-formas.
Ability to translate engineering DD into government-compliant narratives.
Compensation Structure:
We are offering a hybrid fee structure. We have allocated a fixed upfront budget (up to $4,000) to cover your time and application preparation, plus a negotiated contingency/success fee (percentage of the grant) payable upon award.
To Apply:
Please include 1–2 examples of previous energy/infrastructure grants you have successfully secured, the agencies they were submitted to, and a brief acknowledgment of our hybrid fee structure.
