Project Manager - Power Generation
AKS Engineering & Forestry, LLC
Role Description
This is an opportunity to sit at the center of complex energy and infrastructure projects and help turn development strategy into execution. As a Project Manager within our Pre-Construction Services group, you’ll work alongside developers, owners, utilities, and project stakeholders during the critical phases of energy project development. This role focuses on pre-construction planning, feasibility, cost and schedule development, risk identification, and project management across a range of power generation and energy infrastructure projects, including utility-scale solar PV, battery energy storage, wind, and other renewable and conventional generation assets.
What You’ll Do
- Lead pre-construction planning efforts for renewable energy, power generation, and related infrastructure projects on behalf of developer and owner clients.
- Support project development, site selection, and due diligence activities with a focus on site feasibility, power availability, interconnection, permitting, constructability, and development risk.
- Develop and evaluate conceptual project strategies for solar PV, battery energy storage, wind, and other power generation and energy infrastructure projects.
- Prepare and validate early-stage cost models, budgets, schedules, and phasing plans for complex energy and infrastructure scopes.
- Coordinate with utilities, grid operators, permitting agencies, AHJs, engineering firms, and other stakeholders to assess project feasibility, timelines, constraints, and development requirements.
- Lead constructability reviews and risk assessments to identify early challenges related to scope, logistics, permitting, procurement, construction, and market conditions.
- Advise clients on delivery models, including EPC, design-build, phased packages, early works, and other project execution strategies.
- Review conceptual, preliminary, and detailed designs to ensure alignment with project goals, constructability, cost, schedule, and long-term operational objectives.
- Develop decision-support materials, executive briefings, and recommendations to guide investment and development milestones.
- Support the transition from pre-construction into construction by defining scopes, bid packages, procurement strategies, and execution plans.
- Assist with late-stage permitting, procurement, and EPC coordination on behalf of the owner.
- Manage multiple projects and workstreams simultaneously while maintaining clear communication with clients, internal teams, and project stakeholders.
Qualifications
- You have a "Do what needs to be done" mindset, taking ownership beyond assigned tasks and stepping in wherever needed to keep projects, teams, and customers supported and moving forward.
- You have 5+ years of experience managing or supporting complex energy, infrastructure, or power generation projects, with experience in pre-construction and front-end development strongly preferred.
- You have experience working on utility-scale renewable energy or power generation projects, such as solar PV, battery energy storage, wind, or other generation assets.
- You understand the development and pre-construction lifecycle, including feasibility, site evaluation, interconnection, permitting, design, estimating, scheduling, procurement, and construction planning.
- You have a strong understanding of construction means and methods sufficient to inform constructability, cost, schedule, and execution decisions during pre-construction.
- You’re highly organized and comfortable managing multiple workstreams with competing priorities and shifting project requirements.
- You are comfortable working directly with developers, owners, utilities, EPC contractors, engineers, and other project stakeholders.
- You have excellent analytical, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex project information into clear recommendations for clients and leadership.
- You are willing to travel periodically to project sites, client locations, and industry meetings as needed.
Nice to Have
- Experience developing and managing complex project schedules using tools such as Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, or similar.
- Strong familiarity with project management and construction management systems such as Procore, SAP, or similar platforms.
- Experience developing or reviewing project financial models, cost estimates, budgets, and commercial assumptions.
- Strong analytical skills related to energy markets, project economics, pricing, supply chain risk, and market trends.
- Experience with utility-scale solar PV, BESS, wind, or other renewable and power generation technologies.
- Experience navigating utility interconnection processes, transmission and distribution infrastructure, or grid development.
- Experience working as an owner’s representative, developer, utility, EPC contractor, engineering firm, or other organization supporting the development and delivery of energy infrastructure.
- Existing relationships with developers, utilities, EPCs, engineering firms, or other stakeholders within the renewable energy and power generation industry.
- Based in Las Vegas, NV, or willing to work remotely with the ability to travel regularly to project sites and client locations.
