· Track accounts receivable, follow up on outstanding balances, and manage change-order billing so revenue is captured cleanly.

· Partner with accounting and leadership on forecasting, project margins, and cash flow.

Manage Contracts

· 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.
