Commercial Project Manager

Commercial Project Manager Brooklyn, NY • Full-time, 40 hrs/week • Exempt, Salaried About the Role Are you someone who can hold their own in a pre‑construction meeting and on a rooftop? Brooklyn SolarWorks is looking for a Commercial Project Manager who brings both the organizational rigor of a seasoned PM and the hands‑on instincts of someone who has worked in the field. In this role, you'll own commercial solar projects from sales handoff through final closeout — coordinating clients, subcontractors, engineers, and internal BSW teams to deliver projects safely, on schedule, and within scope. You'll be the connective tissue between the office and the job site, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks whether you're reviewing a set of drawings, managing a permit timeline, or standing on‑site during installation. We know this combination of skills is rare, and we mean it: if you have strong project management experience but are newer to field/construction work — or if you're deeply experienced in construction but newer to formal PM processes — we want to hear from you. What matters most is drive, adaptability, and a genuine interest in solar. What You'll Do Project Onboarding & Development Attend sales meetings and commercial surveys to provide early‑stage project guidance Vet and confirm project details including contract terms, financing, and scope Coordinate with engineering partners, procurement, and design teams on final system designs Serve as the primary client‑facing point of contact from kickoff through closeout Project Advancement & Scheduling Lead weekly commercial operations meetings to review pipeline and forecast installation schedules Coordinate with permitting teams to hit timelines; manage design changes and change orders Confirm and manage subcontractor agreements; maintain up‑to‑date project records in CRM On‑Site Management Schedule and attend pre‑construction site visits and site prep Serve as the primary on‑site point of contact during installation, with thorough knowledge of plans, materials, and methods Manage BSW crews and/or subcontractors to BSW standards; ensure full Safety compliance Coordinate any additional scope: electrical upgrades, special equipment, site prep Post‑Installation & Client Support Obtain inspection sign‑offs, register system monitoring, and complete warranty/insurance filings Coordinate subcontractor payment release and confirm close‑out obligations Provide tier‑one monitoring support and answer client billing and tax credit questions Resolve or elevate customer issues post‑installation Continuous Improvement Stay current on industry trends; recommend process and policy improvements Collaborate cross‑functionally to increase project efficiency What We're Looking For We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in at least one of these two areas — project management or construction/field work — and a clear willingness to grow in the other. If you have both, even better.
