Vacancy - Solar Project Manager

Projects: Utility-Scale Solar PV / Renewable Energy EPC

Location: Starts in the Houston metro, then relocates full-time to the East Coast. Candidates must be willing to relocate.

Working pattern: Office-based in Houston until the project mobilizes, full-time, and on site on the East Coast. No rotation schedule.

Salary: $140,000-$160,000 + bonus + per diem + benefits package

The Company

A full EPC contractor builds utility-scale solar PV, battery storage, and wind projects. It's backed by a global infrastructure group operating in more than 15 countries, and by a Texas construction firm with nearly 60 years of heavy civil experience.

Their pipeline is growing quickly. They have an active solar site on the East Coast, a second East Coast project, and a new 105 MW project in contract negotiation about five minutes from the existing site. For the right PM, that means years of work in one region.

About the Role

They want a Project Manager to lead their next utility-scale PV project, from Notice to Proceed through commissioning and turnover.

You'll start at the corporate office in Houston, TX, getting to know the team and supporting planning and preconstruction. Then you'll relocate out of state as the project mobilizes. This is a permanent, on-site role, so you'll be living near the work, not commuting in on rotation.

Responsibilities

• Lead execution of a utility-scale solar PV project across engineering, procurement, and construction, from NTP through commissioning and turnover.
• Act as the main point of contact between the owner, engineers, subcontractors, and executive leadership.
• Manage civil, mechanical, electrical, and substation scopes and the subcontractors delivering them.
• Own the project budget, cost forecasting, and executive reporting.
• Drive the schedule and lead recovery plans when the critical path slips.
• Manage subcontracts, change orders, and commercial issues as they come up.
• Oversee safety, quality, commissioning readiness, and closeout documentation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (civil, electrical, mechanical, energy, or a related discipline)
• Project management experience on utility-scale solar PV power plants, ideally with an EPC contractor
• Experience carrying a project through construction and into commissioning
• Willing to relocate full-time out of state
• Comfortable working full-time on site with no rotation
• Battery storage (BESS) experience is a plus
