Original job description

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!
