Benefits: Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision benefits
Work Arrangement: On-site; remote work is not available
Project Leadership & Ownership
• Lead assigned projects from estimating turnover and preconstruction through execution, customer acceptance, and final closeout.
• Serve as the primary commercial and contractual point of contact for customers, general contractors, and project stakeholders.
• Establish project priorities, responsibilities, decision deadlines, and clear communication between all participating departments.
• Own commitments, solve problems proactively, and escalate material risks with recommended solutions.
Financial Accountability & Project Controls
• Own project budgets, cost coding, commitments, and reliable estimates at completion, including labor, equipment, materials, subcontractors, and indirect costs.
• Review budget versus actual costs, production-based earned hours, margin trends, and projected cost to complete with Field Operations.
• Maintain accurate monthly forecasts, explain variances, and execute margin-protection and recovery plans.
• Manage progress billings, payment applications, receivables, cash flow, and timely financial closeout.
• Identify unbudgeted costs and pursue legitimate contractual cost recovery.
Preconstruction & Mobilization Readiness
• Lead scope-letter, proposal, pricing schedule, contract, drawings, specification, and exclusion reviews at project turnover.
• Build a mobilization-driven preconstruction schedule covering permits, access, submittals, shop drawings, procurement, fabrication, and deliveries.
• Confirm material quantities, vendor lead times, subcontractor commitments, and approval requirements.
• Partner with Field Operations to align staffing, equipment, critical milestones, and the first two weeks of executable work.
• Identify scope gaps, design conflicts, and unresolved prerequisites before mobilization.
Scheduling & Field Execution Partnership
• Own the contractual master schedule, milestone tracking, customer coordination, and documentation of schedule impacts.
• Coordinate with Superintendents on the two-week lookahead, predecessor work, constraints, inspections, and resource readiness.
• Communicate major foundation placements, shutdowns, mobilizations, and critical-path milestones early enough for operational support.
• Support recovery plans and timely decisions without displacing Field Operations authority over means, methods, crews, and daily production.
• Ensure current approved drawings, submittals, changes, and customer direction reach field leadership.
Contracts, Changes & Risk
• Administer contractual notices, RFIs, submittals, correspondence, change directives, and required project records.
• Identify, document, price, submit, negotiate, and track change orders, delays, differing conditions, and disruptions.
• Capture supporting labor, equipment, material, and productivity records with Field Operations.
• Maintain visibility into open commercial exposure, unresolved claims, and decisions required to protect R-2.
• Coordinate safety, quality, testing, inspection, and corrective-action requirements with responsible field leaders.
Customer Relationships & Reporting
• Build trust through timely, accurate, professional communication and consistent delivery of commitments.
• Provide concise weekly reporting on project financial health, schedule, change orders, constraints, risks, and leadership decisions.
• Keep action registers current with owners and due dates; promptly communicate significant changes to cost, scope, or schedule.
• Identify repeat-work opportunities and share lessons learned with estimating, procurement, and operations.
Project Closeout & Continuous Improvement
• Coordinate punch lists, turnover documents, as-builts, warranties, final acceptance, and outstanding commercial items.
• Close open commitments and change orders, reconcile final costs, and support collection of final payment.
• Lead lessons-learned reviews and improve planning, reporting, and project delivery systems.
Accountability Between Project Management & Field Operations
Project Management owns contractual and commercial administration, project forecasting, customer coordination, master scheduling, procurement coordination, and billing. Field Operations owns construction means and methods, crew leadership, daily production, equipment deployment, and field safety and quality execution. Both functions share accountability for project outcomes and must collaborate on planning, cost control, and risk resolution.
Minimum Qualifications
• Experience managing heavy civil, solar, BESS, substation, transmission, or underground infrastructure construction projects in the utility-scale market.
• Demonstrated command of contracts, estimating handoffs, project budgets, forecasting, scheduling, and change management.
• Ability to read construction plans, specifications, scope letters, and pricing schedules and translate them into execution requirements.
• Strong negotiation, communication, organizational, leadership, and problem-solving skills; willingness to travel nationwide as required.
• Preferred: someone who has worked their way into the project management department through hands-on experience in the field performing the work.
What Success Looks Like
• Reliable forecasts and protected project margins.
• On-time readiness for mobilization and critical milestones.
• Timely identification, documentation, and recovery of changes and impacts.
• Strong Field Operations partnerships and customer confidence.
• Clear reporting, early risk escalation, and disciplined project closeout.
