Our data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently delivers our innovative services. Meta's Energy Team is seeking a commercially-experienced and technically-grounded energy professional to lead our demand flexibility and emerging grid strategy program across our global data center portfolio. This role will serve as Meta's internal commercial and regulatory expert on issues of demand response, bring-your-own-capacity (BYOC) arrangements, and flexible interconnection, coordinating across energy, engineering, core systems, and policy teams to build a proactive, portfolio-wide approach to emerging grid trends. The Energy Manager will own the development and execution of Meta's demand flexibility strategy: identifying opportunities, structuring commercial arrangements, and ensuring that flexibility is embedded in our energy service agreements and site designs from the outset rather than retrofitted after the fact. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in energy markets, utility negotiations, grid operations, with deep familiarity with demand response frameworks across both regulated and organized electricity markets. Experience with RTO capacity markets, flexible interconnection tariffs, and demand-side resource programs is strongly preferred.

- Partner with Policy team to engage in regulatory processes, monitoring and assessing the evolving regulatory landscape related to demand flexibility
- Actively manage commercial relationships for data centers located in a variety of energy markets, including developing and growing relationships with key utility partners, market participants, regulators, policy makers and other stakeholders
- Negotiate deal terms and plan for demand flexibility with optionality in mind, and present different scenario analyses to extend the shelf life, or accelerate delivery of, certain options while balancing capacity options and plans for the business
- Negotiate and deliver new commercial agreements that enable capacity and create fungible options to allow us to deliver capacity in new and creative ways
- Partner with legal resources to develop and refine commercial arrangements for existing facilities while managing the structures required to serve our facilities with reliable, cost-effective, sustainable energy
- Partner with the Site Selection Team to help identify new locations in the United States that provide necessary energy requirements for new data centers
- Interface with internal organizations including data center on-site staff, sustainability, policy, communications, design, construction, legal and finance
- Support continued development and execution of Meta's energy supply strategy for data centers
- Stay informed of the technical, market, and regulatory developments in the energy industry and communicate key trends, risks and potential impacts to management
- Lead and support various energy projects as needed
- Ability to travel domestically (25% likely)
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in a directly related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, environmental science, or an energy-related discipline
- 10 years of experience in commercial energy, utility negotiations, or grid operations, with direct exposure to demand response, flexible interconnection, or capacity market structures
- Working knowledge of demand response programs, BYOC capacity arrangements, and flexible load tariffs across at least one major U.S. RTO or ISO market
- Experience representing business interests to utilities, grid operators, regulatory agencies, and industry working groups
- Working knowledge of transmission, distribution, and utility interconnection processes, including the distinction between vertically integrated and deregulated market structures
- Experience managing cross-functional programs involving engineering, legal, policy, and commercial teams
- Ability to communicate complex regulatory, commercial, and technical details clearly to stakeholders at all organizational levels
- Proficiency in standard document and analytics platforms (Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, etc.)
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally (approximately 25%)

- Established relationships with utilities, grid operators, or energy industry stakeholders
- Experience with multiple U.S. RTO/ISO markets (e.g., PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP)
- Background in energy regulatory proceedings or policy development

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Energy Consultant
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. employers
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in engineering or environmental science satisfies the E-3 visa degree requirement. Have your transcripts evaluated by a NACES-member credential evaluator so U.S. hiring managers can confirm equivalency without delays.
Target employers with active LCA filing histories
Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway for certified LCAs under job titles like Energy Consultant, Energy Analyst, or Sustainability Consultant. Employers who have filed before know the process and are faster to commit to sponsorship.
Frame your specialty occupation case around degree specificity
Energy Consultant roles can face specialty occupation scrutiny if the job description accepts any bachelor's degree. Confirm the offer letter specifies a degree in engineering, energy management, or a related technical field to satisfy DOL requirements.
Negotiate LCA filing before resigning your current role
The employer must file and receive a certified LCA before you can apply at the consulate. Secure written confirmation of the filing timeline from your employer before giving notice, so the process doesn't stall after you've already committed.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your paperwork
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage your LCA submission, DS-160, and consulate preparation. This removes the coordination burden from your employer and reduces the risk of documentation errors that could delay your start date.
Prepare for nonimmigrant intent questions at the consulate
E-3 visas require demonstrating nonimmigrant intent. If you hold Australian property, ongoing superannuation contributions, or family ties at home, document these before your interview to respond confidently to consular officer questions.
E-3 Visa Energy Consultant: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Energy Consultant jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Search Migrate Mate to find Energy Consultant roles where employers have a verified history of E-3 or related visa sponsorship. Because sponsorship willingness isn't always listed in job postings, filtering by employers with documented LCA filing activity saves significant time and targets companies already familiar with the process.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Energy Consultant role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as engineering, environmental science, or energy management. Roles where any bachelor's degree is acceptable can fail the specialty occupation test. The offer letter and job description need to specify the relevant field to satisfy DOL requirements.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Energy Consultant roles?
The E-3 has no annual lottery and no cap that limits availability, unlike the H-1B visa which is subject to an oversubscribed lottery each April. For Australian energy professionals, this means you can apply any time of year once you have a job offer and a certified LCA, without waiting for a selection result that's largely outside your control.
Can I switch employers after starting work on an E-3 as an Energy Consultant?
Yes, but the new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. or change your status from within the country. You can begin working for the new employer once the new LCA is certified and the visa paperwork is in order, so time your transition carefully.
