Senior Vice President, Finance of Energy Infrastructure

SOLV Energy is a leading provider of infrastructure services to the power industry, designing, building and maintaining utility scale solar, battery storage and high voltage substation projects nationwide.

Job Description

Summary:

SOLV Energy's Energy Infrastructure segment brings together five business units (SOLV HV, SEHV, Robison Waite Electric, Spartan Infrastructure, and Battery Storage) that together represent SOLV's self-perform, high-voltage, and specialty electrical construction capability. Several of these units are in an active build phase: 2027 plans call for double‑digit revenue growth, a meaningfully larger headcount base, and new leadership structure across the segment, alongside a shift toward direct utility work that carries a different risk and margin profile than the segment's historical BESS/PV‑adjacent volume.

Additionally, and as SOLV continues to embark on its M&A strategy, it is expected that further growth will come from new acquisitions. The SVP, Finance is the senior finance executive for this segment. This person owns the financial planning, oversight and reporting discipline across all five business units; acts as the direct finance partner and challenge function to each BU's operating leader;

and, through alignment with SOLV’s corporate level policies and procedures, builds the systems, cost structures, and controls that let a fast‑growing, multi‑entity segment scale without losing visibility into margin. This is a hands‑on build role as much as an oversight role: several of the underlying finance processes (cost coding, unit‑rate history, change order tracking, category‑level procurement spend) do not yet exist in the form this segment needs, and the SVP is expected to take leadership in the implementation of these needs as the coordination point with SOLV parent.

This role is hybrid, with regular in‑office presence in Mesa, AZ with frequent travel to other offices. Specific location details and expectations will be discussed during the interview process.

• Own the annual budget and monthly / quarterly forecast cycle for the Energy Infrastructure segment in Planful, consolidating five business units into a single segment P&L while preserving BU-level accountability.
• Set and defend top‑line, OpEx, and SG&A targets for each business unit in partnership with corporate FP&A, translating BU operating plans (headcount builds, new pursuits, pipeline conversion) into a financial plan that holds up under scrutiny.
• Build the segment's long‑range plan, including the capital and working‑capital implications of shifting mix toward direct‑to‑utility work, which carries different contract structures, retainage, and payment terms than existing BESS/PV‑adjacent work.
• Lead the financial evaluation of new business unit additions to the segment, including diligence support and integration planning when SOLV acquires or stands up additional self‑perform capability.

• Serve as the designated finance partner (or lead the finance partners who do) for each of the five BU leaders, embedded enough in the operating rhythm to catch margin erosion before it shows up in month‑end close.
• Translate each BU's pipeline (signed backlog, LNTP‑stage work, and weighted pursuits) into a revenue and margin forecast that operations, procurement, and executive leadership can plan against, and flag concentration risk when a small number of projects or clients drive an outsized share of forecast revenue.
• Partner with Business Development on pursuit economics, go/no‑go financial screens, and the cost of chasing work outside the segment's self‑perform fit.
• Support the combined go‑to‑market packaging of SOLV…
