Preferred Qualifications• PMP certification or equivalent.
• Experience managing owner’s representative or PMO functions.
• Familiarity with BESS (battery energy storage) integration on solar projects.
• Experience with Texas land, environmental, and interconnection agreements.
Compensation & Benefits• Base salary: $110,000 – $140,000, commensurate with experience.
