About the role

Houston Chronicle is seeking an ambitious reporter to cover the intersection of energy, the electrical grid and data centers in Texas. Based on our Business desk, the reporter will examine how power demand shapes the state's economy, infrastructure and communities. This beat sits at the crossroads of business, public policy, infrastructure and climate. You will cover how Texas' grid adapts after the 2021 winter storm and how utilities/regulators respond to growth in demand and data centers.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
