• Strong daily field execution practices including look‑ahead, daily reporting
  , and proactive issue resolution
• Solar-specific safety exposure, including PPE considerations noted for “site‑specific work (i.e., solar)” and the need for hearing protection where renewable energy mechanisms create hazards
• Heightened focus on fall protection requirements for rooftop PV environments where applicable (including required setbacks and defined fall protection approaches near roof edges)

• Develop phasing plans and look‑ahead schedules while communicating progress updates to the project team and stakeholders.
• Track project progress and maintain schedules on a regular basis.
• Coordinate all construction activities with trade partners and stakeholders to facilitate completion of the project.
• Own daily field execution and coordination with the PM team; proactively surface risks, constraints, and staffing/schedule needs.

• Provide clear written documentation to all parties involved on the project.

• Read and understand project documents including drawings, shop drawings, specifications, product data sheets, and schedules.
• Manage, track, and document project activities including safety, schedules, daily reports, trade hours, material delivery tracking, RFIs/submittals status, photo documentation, change documentation, and punch list items.
• Utilize project documentation tools (experience with tools like Excel/Procore/Smartsheet has been noted in BEAR solar superintendent screening).
• Understand the importance of proper accounting phase codes and assigning time.

• Coordinate subcontractors and workflows to maintain quality and pace of work across scopes.
• Support QC, layout/verification, inspections, and material verification as part of daily execution expectations.

• Manage equipment and materials as required; track deliveries and staging.
• Coordinate activities with local permit agencies as needed.
• Resolve on‑site issues and emergencies quickly and effectively.

• Previous experience as a construction Superintendent preferred.
• Field experience, trade school, or college degree (Construction Management/Engineering preferred).
