About Wunder

Wunder is building a Modern Energy Company.

We were founded with one simple vision: to address the greatest crisis of our generation by accelerating the deployment of solar energy. In doing so, we help businesses, municipalities, and schools save money by delivering clean on-site power. We convert simple warehouses into electrified industrial platforms built for the future. We enable the nation's leading commercial and industrial real estate firms to capture the benefits of solar across their properties. We align ESG goals with revenue targets, and the renewable energy assets we're deploying today will power America's tomorrow.

Wunder is actively developing hundreds of commercial solar projects across the country. Our team has evaluated more than 30,000 properties for solar across all 50 states to meet our customers where they are—which is everywhere! Our customers have a national footprint and so do we. Wunder's proprietary technology platform enables us to develop solar at scale, across a portfolio that includes everything from self-storage facilities and schools to data centers and industrial logistics facilities. Our average solar system—about 430 kilowatts in size—can offset 350,000 pounds of coal burned each year of system operation!

The Role

We have an amazing opportunity for a motivated, detail-oriented go-getter to solve hard problems and push renewable energy forward. We're looking for someone who works quickly and efficiently, has an eye for detail, and isn't afraid of a challenge. Our team is rapidly acquiring commercial customers and developing solar across the country alongside our national network of solar partners, and we need your help!

In this role, you'll work cross-functionally to help our construction team build commercial-scale solar projects across the country, deliver high-quality results for our customers, and leverage Wunder's industry-leading technology platform to achieve volume and velocity of solar project development. You'll be responsible for supporting the construction team in delivering projects on-time, on-budget, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.

This role requires regular travel to active construction sites throughout the Northeast, including Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Occasional travel outside this region may also be required to support project needs.

If you get excited about unlocking the untapped commercial and industrial market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

• Assist in coordinating with EPC partners, contractors, vendors, and internal teams
• Track project schedules, budgets, and key milestones to ensure timely delivery
• Help identify risks and proactively escalate issues that could impact timelines, costs, or quality
• Maintain organized project documentation, reporting, and communication across stakeholders
• Participate in site visits and construction meetings to support on-the-ground execution
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Project Development, Development Engineering, Asset Management, and Account Management teams to ensure all teams are aligned
• Contribute to improving internal processes, tools, and systems that drive efficiency and scalability
