Job Description & How to Apply Below

Our client is an innovative energy technology company that designs and manufactures intelligent energy storage systems for commercial buildings. Their flagship product is a wall-mounted LFP battery system that integrates distributed energy storage with advanced software to optimize energy use, enhance resilience, and reduce carbon emissions at the point of consumption. Recently awarded certification for both European and North American standards, the company is backed by prominent investors and is actively scaling its deployment operations to meet growing commercial market demand.

The

Opportunity

We are hiring a Project Manager to own the full deployment lifecycle of intelligent energy storage systems across commercial building sites nationwide. This is a high-ownership role at an early-stage company where you will have direct influence over how the deployment function is built and scaled. You will lead projects from initial site feasibility through design engineering, permitting, procurement, installation, and final system handover — partnering closely with customers, contractors, engineers, and internal teams to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to quality standards.

Success in this role requires strong project management instincts, technical fluency in electrical systems, and a hands‑on approach to getting things done in the field.

What You Will Own
  • Lead the full project lifecycle from feasibility and concept development through design engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, and customer handover
  • Conduct site feasibility assessments — reviewing panel schedules, electrical infrastructure, and site conditions to determine project viability and develop proposal packages
  • Manage the design engineering phase including AutoCAD coordination with third‑party engineers and licensed PEs to produce stamped construction documents
  • Own the permitting process — preparing and submitting permit packages to AHJs, managing plan check corrections, and driving approvals through to construction release
  • Coordinate with utilities, building departments, fire marshals, and other Authorities Having Jurisdiction to ensure regulatory compliance and project approvals
  • Manage purchase orders, procurement, and material logistics to support project timelines
  • Oversee contractor and subcontractor performance in the field — holding teams accountable to schedule, budget, safety, and quality standards
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for customers throughout the project lifecycle, managing expectations and ensuring a high‑quality delivery experience
  • Collaborate with internal engineering and software teams to ensure successful system integration and commissioning
  • Develop and refine scalable deployment processes, templates, and best practices as the company grows
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects across different sites and geographies
What We Are Looking For Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a closely related technical field
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in project management, electrical construction, or energy systems deployment
  • Demonstrated experience managing the full pre‑construction lifecycle — site feasibility, design engineering coordination, permitting, and AHJ approval
  • Experience coordinating with licensed engineers and producing or reviewing construction documents including single‑line diagrams and electrical plan sets
  • Strong project management skills — scheduling, budget tracking, risk management, and multi‑site delivery
  • Direct experience managing contractors and subcontractors in the field
  • Familiarity with NEC, NFPA, and applicable building and electrical codes
  • Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and make sound decisions under pressure
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with battery energy storage systems, solar PV, or commercial electrical infrastructure
  • Familiarity with NFPA 855 and UL 9540 requirements for energy storage installations
  • Experience with AutoCAD or similar design tools
  • PMP certification or equivalent project management training
  • Procore or similar construction management software experience
  • Bilingual Spanish and English
