Project Manager – Preconstruction; C&I Solar, Storage - DER

Take projects from 30% design to construction-ready.

We’re looking for an experienced Preconstruction Project Manager with a background in commercial solar to take ownership of projects from development handoff through detailed engineering, permitting and turnover to Operations.

This is a highly collaborative role connecting Development, Engineering, Sales and Operation. You will make sure projects are properly scoped, engineered, permitted and ready to build.

• Own projects from approximately 30% design through construction-ready design.
• Develop and manage preconstruction schedules, milestones and critical-path activities.
• Coordinate external engineering firms, architects, consultants, utilities and permitting authorities.
• Review designs and identify gaps, risks, constructability issues and outstanding due diligence.
• Lead design reviews and coordinate resolution of engineering issues and RFIs.
• Manage permitting activities and track approvals, comments and resubmissions.
• Monitor project costs, scope changes, long-lead equipment and procurement constraints.
• Identify opportunities to reduce cost, improve constructability and minimize construction risk.
• Engage Operations early and lead the preconstruction-to-construction handoff.
• Drive accountability across multiple stakeholders without direct supervisory authority.

• 5+ years in preconstruction, project management, engineering coordination, construction management or a related field.
• Commercial solar experience required.
• Experience managing projects through design development, detailed engineering, permitting and construction turnover.
• Experience coordinating engineering consultants, contractors, utilities and permitting authorities.
• Background in renewable energy, energy services, design-build, infrastructure or mechanical/electrical systems.
• Strong ability to review design documents and identify risks, dependencies and constructability concerns.
• Excellent project management, communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and drive results across teams.

• Medical, dental and vision
• 401(k) with employer match
• PTO and paid holidays
• Life insurance and disability coverage
• Professional development and certification support

If you’re a commercial solar PM or preconstruction professional who enjoys solving problems before they become construction issues, this could be a strong next opportunity.
