Drive end-to-end delivery of utility-scale solar and BESS projects from development handoff through commercial operation, owning budget, schedule, scope, and risk across civil, electrical, substation, gen-tie, and interconnection workstreams.
Build and own integrated project schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning, and maintain the master schedule as the single source of truth from site mobilization through energization.
Own project budgets, cash-flow forecasts, and change-order governance, report earned-value KPIs weekly, and flag cost and schedule deviations with recovery options before they compound.
Manage the full contract lifecycle: RFP, bid analysis, EPC and subcontractor award, PCO tracking, lender and interconnection reporting requirements, and close-out.
Drive mitigation on critical-path and long-lead risks including transformers, inverters, switchgear, BESS enclosures, and interconnection queue milestones, and act as the single point of accountability for all internal and external project stakeholders.
Lead construction managers, field superintendents, and project engineers across concurrent solar sites, develop staffing plans, and run the weekly cadence of standups, reviews, and issue escalations.

You've led project management on utility-scale solar or solar-plus-storage projects from NTP through COD, delivered on budget, and can describe exactly where the schedule pressure came from and how you resolved it.
You understand civil, structural, electrical, BESS, substation, and gen-tie scopes well enough to catch scope gaps at bid time and hold EPC contractors to the contract during execution.
You own budgets at the project level: you've run earned-value tracking, managed owner-controlled contingency, and governed change orders without losing commercial position.
You manage interconnection milestones as a critical path item, and you've navigated CAISO, MISO, ERCOT, or PJM queue processes without letting them dictate your schedule.
You communicate with enough precision that a lender, a landowner, and a field superintendent each get exactly what they need from the same status update, reframed for their context.
You've built and scaled field-based project teams across multiple concurrent sites, and the people you've led have gone on to run projects themselves.
Bonus: PMI-PMP or equivalent. BESS and substation construction. Multi-state concurrent portfolio delivery. Lender reporting and project finance interface.
