Develop and maintain integrated master schedules (engineering, procurement, construction, interconnection). Establish and control project budgets, cost forecasts, cash flow, and margin performance (P&L ownership). Ensure compliance with EPC contracts, scope, change orders, and risk management plans. Drive HSE (Health, Safety & Environmental) compliance, QA/QC standards, and site safety culture. Serve as the primary client interface and lead stakeholder communications. Technical & Engineering Oversight Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams (civil, structural, electrical, power systems, SCADA/controls). Oversee design and installation of: Solar PV systems (modules, trackers/racking, inverters, transformers, substations) EV charging infrastructure (chargers, switchgear, panel upgrades, utility interconnection, load management systems). Ensure compliance with NEC, IEEE, utility interconnection standards, and AHJ requirements. Support load studies, site assessments, energy modeling, and system optimization. Lead value engineering, constructability reviews, and design optimization efforts. Procurement & Supply Chain Management Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans for PV equipment and EV charging hardware. Manage procurement of modules, inverters, EV chargers, transformers, switchgear, and BOS components. Lead RFP/RFQ processes, bid evaluations, contract negotiations, and vendor selection.
