Assistant Project Manager

Are you ready to take the next step in your construction career and help shape the future of clean energy? We're looking for a self-driven, resourceful, and disciplined Assistant Project Manager to support the successful delivery of utility-scale solar projects across the U.S. This is a high-impact, growth-oriented role designed to develop future project leaders. You'll be part of a team that partners with top energy clients nationwide to build a more sustainable future—one solar project at a time. Working directly onsite, you'll collaborate with field teams, subcontractors, and senior leadership to ensure projects are executed safely, on time, and within budget. You'll play a critical role in managing day-to-day operations, tracking progress, and solving problems in real time—while learning the full project lifecycle from pre-construction through close-out.

This is a traveling position (up to 100%), where you will be onsite at a project location. You have the potential to be placed on a project site located in any state throughout the US. You'll spend 8-16 months on average per project. We offer designated daily per diem in addition to base pay to support and help you cover living expenses. A vehicle allowance will be provided. Our company has one of the industry leading rotational programs as well, with routine travel home from the jobsite.
