Project Manager - Power Generation

Full-time

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.

Benefits

  • Meaningful Growth: Whether you're just starting out or looking to advance, we offer hands-on training, mentorship, and clear paths for professional development so you can grow with purpose.
  • Real Collaboration: Join a team that brings diverse perspectives together to solve complex challenges with creativity, curiosity, and a shared commitment to quality.
  • Respect for Your Time: We value work-life balance and offer generous PTO and a supportive environment that helps you manage both personal and professional responsibilities.
  • Benefits That Care: You’ll have access to health coverage that supports your total well-being, plus a 401(k) match, paid holidays, and more resources to help you thrive.
  • Weekly Team Lunches: Take a break and recharge with your teammates, we believe food brings people together.
  • Culture That Connects: We invest in experiences that build strong teams and strong communities.
  • A Place People Love to Work: We’ve been named one of the Top Workplaces year after year.
