Candidates must have:

• Minimum 10 years of relevant construction management experience in utility-scale renewable energy projects.
• Proven experience managing utility-scale Solar PV projects of 50 MW or larger .
• Direct construction supervision experience on Solar PV and/or BESS projects.

Texas-Specific Experience Required

Candidates must be able to demonstrate direct project experience in Texas, specifically related to renewable energy construction, permitting, interconnection, utility coordination, TDUs, and AHJ interface.

Experience simply being based in Texas is not sufficient. The candidate must have worked on relevant Texas-based Solar PV and/or BESS projects.

Important Candidate Fit Requirement

Candidates with only electrical, industrial, substation, high-voltage, or general construction backgrounds will not be considered a strong match unless they also have direct utility-scale Solar PV and/or BESS construction management experience.

Substation experience is valuable, but it does not replace the required Solar PV/BESS utility-scale construction management background.

• Ensure construction activities are performed safely, efficiently, and according to project specifications.
• Lead site coordination meetings and provide daily/weekly progress reporting.
• Support QA/QC activities and ensure construction quality requirements are met.

Preferred Experience

• Integrated Solar PV + BESS projects.
• Commissioning and energization support.
• Owner’s representative or Owner’s Engineer experience.
• Experience working with EPC contractors on renewable energy projects.
