About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own day-to-day site execution for utility-scale solar and BESS projects, orchestrating EPC contractors, civil crews, electrical trades, and equipment vendors to deliver safe, on-schedule, on-budget facilities from mobilization through energization.
Build, maintain, and drive integrated construction schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across civil, structural, electrical, BESS, substation, and gen-tie scopes, and issue recovery plans the moment a critical path slips.
Enforce the site safety program and hold every subcontractor to a zero-incident standard, from pre-mobilization safety plans through final punch list.
Coordinate civil, racking, PV, inverter, BESS, and MV/HV electrical trades in real time, resolving field conflicts before they hit the schedule, and manage QA/QC, RFI, submittal, and change-order workflows to close-out.
Track and report daily progress, earned value, cost-to-complete, and resource loading to the Project Manager, and surface procurement risks on long-lead equipment (transformers, switchgear, inverters) early enough to act on them.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've managed utility-scale solar, solar-plus-storage, or high-voltage substation construction from mobilization through commercial operation, and the projects you ran came in on schedule.
You coordinate civil, racking, PV, electrical, and BESS scopes simultaneously without losing track of where each trade is relative to the critical path.
You enforce safety hard: you've written and executed site safety plans, held subcontractors to them, and managed the documentation to prove it.
You catch long-lead equipment risks, SCADA integration gaps, and interconnection milestone conflicts before they surface as schedule hits.
You build and drive integrated schedules in Primavera P6 or MS Project, and your reporting is specific enough that a project manager can act on it the same day they read it.
