C&I Project Manager (Solar + Energy Storage) End-to-End Ownership | Pre-Construction → Closeout About the Role Join a tight-knit, fast-growing team where your work actually moves the needle. We’re looking for a driven Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Project Manager to lead solar and battery energy storage (BESS) projects from early development all the way through construction and final closeout. This is a true end-to-end ownership role - you’ll be at the center of everything, making sure projects are planned right, executed well, and delivered on time, on budget, and at a high standard of quality. If you like solving complex problems, juggling moving pieces, and seeing tangible results from your work, you’ll feel right at home here. 🔧 What You’ll Do Project Development & Pre-Construction
- Lead early project planning including site assessments, constructability reviews, project feasibility, and execution planning
- Coordinate engineering, design deliverables, and permitting activities
- Ensure all project components (designs, permits, materials) are ready prior to construction
- Align internal teams (sales, engineering, procurement) to ensure smooth project kickoff
Project Execution & Construction
- Oversee project execution from mobilization through completion
- Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and field teams to ensure work progresses on schedule
- Monitor project performance, proactively identify risks, and resolve issues quickly
- Maintain control over schedule, cost, quality, and safety
Customer & Stakeholder Management
- Serve as the primary point of contact for customers throughout the project lifecycle
- Provide regular project updates and ensure a high-quality customer experience
- Resolve issues, discrepancies, and change requests in a timely manner
Budget, Schedule & Performance
- Develop and manage project schedules and key milestones
- Track project costs, manage change orders, and maintain financial performance
- Ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget
- Actively understand and contribute to shaping the master project pipeline
Commissioning & Closeout
- Oversee commissioning, system testing, and final performance verification
- Manage punch lists and ensure all deficiencies are resolved
- Lead project closeout including documentation, approvals, and customer handoff
✅ What Success Looks Like
- Projects delivered on time and on budget
- Seamless coordination across teams
- High-quality installations with strong performance
- Happy, informed customers throughout the process
- Risks identified early - not when they become problems 🧠 What You Bring
- 5+ years in project management, construction, or project engineering
- Experience with C&I solar projects (rooftop, carport, or ground-mount)
- Familiarity with BESS (big plus)
- Strong understanding of construction workflows & subcontractor management
- Ability to read electrical drawings & single-line diagrams
- Experience managing budgets, schedules, and multiple stakeholders
- Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills 🌎 Work Environment
- Hybrid: field + remote
- Travel to project sites during key phases
- Hands-on exposure to construction sites, rooftops, and outdoor work ⚡ Why This Role
- Own projects from start to finish (no siloed responsibilities)
- Work on meaningful, real-world clean energy projects
- Join a growing team building scalable, high-quality operations
- Have a direct impact on how projects are delivered 👉 If you’re ready to take full ownership of projects and help scale clean energy, we'd like to connect!
