The organization is nationally recognized, generating nearly $1 billion in annual revenue, and has built a strong reputation for safety, execution, and delivering some of the largest solar projects across the U.S.

With multiple large-scale projects underway and continued growth across the utility-scale market, they are looking to bring on a Senior Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of their most complex and high-profile EPC projects.

This is a high-autonomy opportunity for an experienced project leader to take ownership of major utility-scale solar projects from Notice to Proceed through final completion.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Lead the full lifecycle of large-scale utility-scale solar EPC projects from Notice to Proceed through final completion, ensuring safe, timely, and financially successful delivery.
• Provide leadership across engineering, procurement, construction, and field teams while maintaining alignment across scope, schedule, quality, and commercial objectives.
• Own project financial performance, including budgeting, forecasting, cost control, margin protection, change management, claims, and commercial risk.
• Develop and oversee detailed project schedules, monitoring critical path activities, productivity, and recovery plans to protect key milestones.
• Serve as the senior point of contact for clients, owner representatives, lenders, subcontractors, and other key project stakeholders.
• Lead the identification and mitigation of technical, commercial, contractual, schedule, subcontract, and safety risks throughout project execution.
• Support early-stage project activities including estimating, constructability reviews, procurement planning, and subcontractor selection to establish strong execution strategies.
• Partner closely with construction and quality leadership to maintain high standards for safety, quality, and specification compliance across the project.
• Lead, coach, and develop Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Engineers, and field personnel while helping build a strong pipeline of future project leaders.
• Provide executive-level reporting on project status, financial performance, schedule, risks, milestones, and overall execution.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen project delivery standards across the organization.

With a strong backlog of utility-scale work and the resources of a nearly $1 billion organization, this is an opportunity to take ownership of some of the largest renewable energy projects in the country while having significant influence over how they are executed.
