Engineering Project Manager, Utility-Scale Solar & Energy Storage

Our client is an established renewable energy developer focused on advancing utility‑scale solar and energy storage projects across key U.S. power markets. Backed by a global energy organization, the company combines financial strength with deep development expertise to deliver high‑quality clean energy assets from early‑stage development through construction.

The Engineering Project Manager will manage engineering and construction activities for utility‑scale solar and energy storage projects, from development through commissioning. This hands‑on role requires strong technical knowledge, project management skills, and the ability to coordinate contractors, suppliers, and engineering teams to keep projects on track.

• Direct engineering coordination and technical project activities from intermediate development through construction, commissioning, and operational handover.
• Support early project advancement by coordinating interconnection submissions, engineering deliverables, and technical planning requirements.
• Select, engage, and manage external engineering firms, EPC contractors, and major equipment vendors.
• Evaluate engineering packages at key design milestones, including 30%, 60%, and 90% completion, to identify scope omissions, constructability concerns, and technical risks.
• Work with design consultants and project partners to resolve engineering discrepancies and ensure technical requirements are incorporated into final deliverables.
• Coordinate procurement activities for critical project equipment, including PV modules, battery storage systems, and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Develop and review project‑specific equipment specifications, engineering criteria, and technical procurement documentation.
• Monitor vendor engineering submissions, manufacturing milestones, equipment documentation, and delivery commitments.
• Coordinate material transportation and delivery planning to support construction sequencing and project schedules.
• Provide technical oversight of EPC contractors during construction, monitoring execution progress, engineering compliance, and schedule performance.
• Represent the company in technical discussions and project coordination meetings with utilities, offtakers, contractors, and equipment manufacturers.
• Collaborate with development and operations personnel to ensure continuity between project design, construction, commissioning, and long‑term operations.
• Manage technical priorities and project execution activities across multiple projects at different stages of development and construction.

• At least 2 years of hands‑on project management experience involving power generation facilities, energy storage projects, or electrical infrastructure construction.
• A bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent relevant technical experience.
• Experience working with utility‑scale solar, battery energy storage systems, substations, medium- or high‑voltage electrical systems, or conventional power generation facilities.
• Strong technical proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, construction documents, equipment specifications, and project requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate engineering consultants, EPC contractors, equipment vendors, and multidisciplinary project stakeholders.
• Experience evaluating engineering designs for completeness, technical accuracy, constructability, and potential project execution risks.
• Working knowledge of major equipment procurement, vendor documentation, technical specifications, and construction scheduling.
• Strong project management and organizational capabilities, including the ability to oversee several projects and competing priorities simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the confidence to lead technical discussions involving external partners.
• A self‑directed, detail‑oriented working style with the ability to independently manage engineering and project execution responsibilities.
