About Terawatt Infrastructure

With a growing portfolio of sites across the US in urban hubs and along key logistics and transportation corridors.

Our Values
Six core values guide how we work: commitments we make to each other. Our pace is set by a simple conviction: imperfect action beats perfect inaction, so we move with purpose, adapt without ego, and measure ourselves by progress rather than activity. Ownership travels with autonomy. Your name is on the work, and the best answer wins the conversation, wherever it lives. That candor works because of what surrounds it: people who show up with intention and have each other's back, tough on ideas and generous with people. Our customers feel this as reliability earned daily, every interaction treated as a chance to build something lasting. And underneath it all is why the work matters. The climate doesn't wait, and the stakes are also human: behind every checklist and every inspection is a person going home safely. We call it "This work has a heartbeat” — it's what the other five rest on.
Role Description
The Senior Technical Accounting Manager is a critical individual-contributor role within Terawatt's Finance department, focused on the accounting research and policy positions that support the company's complex capital structure and rapidly growing asset base. This position requires someone who has already built a foundation in technical accounting through Big 4 audit or advisory experience and has since moved into industry, where they've begun applying that judgment to real transactions.
The ideal candidate is enthusiastic about technical accounting for its own sake — someone who enjoys digging into an ASC topic, building the analysis, and writing the memo that will hold up to auditor and investor scrutiny – and has prior experience in a growth stage company in a technical accounting role. This is a role for someone who has established themselves as a go-to resource on technical accounting matters and is looking to deepen that expertise further, rather than move into a purely operational track.
Reporting directly to the VP, Controller, the Senior Technical Accounting Manager will work in close collaboration with leaders and teams across Terawatt.
