The Opportunity

We are seeking a skilled Engineering Project Manager to lead design and engineering execution on significant, complex utility-scale solar, battery storage, transmission line, and substation projects from initiation through completion. Bringing a strong engineering background, you'll join our growing team as a dynamic individual capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring they meet scope, schedule, and budget requirements while upholding the highest standards of safety and quality. The ideal candidate brings hands-on familiarity with the engineering design process and a genuine interest in the utility-scale renewable energy space.

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Lead Project Execution

· Serve as the single point of accountability for project delivery across scope, schedule, and budget.

· Drive every deliverable to completion within agreed timelines, coordinating multidiscipline teams (electrical, structural, geotechnical, civil, and materials testing) into one seamless workflow.

· Lead engineering discussions, guide technical direction, and help resolve cross-discipline design questions so the team moves as one.

· Set clear priorities from kickoff through closeout.

Own Budgets and Invoicing

· Manage project budgets, tracking labor, expenses, and subconsultant costs against the approved plan.

· Monitor project financial health continuously and give early warning on potential cost variances before they escalate.

· Respond quickly when challenges arise.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

· Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, or related field; PMP certification highly preferred.

· Working knowledge of the engineering design process across relevant disciplines (civil, electrical, structural) sufficient to review deliverables and coordinate effectively with design teams.

· Experience managing projects through a phased design approach (e.g., 30%/60%/90% design milestones through Issued-for-Construction), including coordinating design iterations and resolving comments across disciplines.

· Comfort reading and interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, and design packages well enough to flag issues before they reach the field.

· Minimum of 3 years of exposure to the Utility Scale Solar industry.

· Minimum of 2 years in project management in the renewable industry specifically, Utility Scale.

· Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, CRM software, and project management tools.
