Solar Construction Manager
Austin, TX$155k - $200kFull-timePosted 3mo ago
About the role
Lead day-to-day site execution for utility-scale solar and energy storage projects, coordinating multiple trades and EPC contractors to deliver safe, on-schedule, on-budget facilities from mobilization through energization.
Responsibilities
- Own day-to-day site execution for utility-scale solar and BESS projects, orchestrating EPC contractors, civil crews, electrical trades, and equipment vendors to deliver safe, on-schedule, on-budget facilities from mobilization through energization.
- Build, maintain, and drive integrated construction schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) across civil, structural, electrical, BESS, substation, and gen-tie scopes, and issue recovery plans the moment a critical path slips.
- Enforce the site safety program and hold every subcontractor to a zero-incident standard, from pre-mobilization safety plans through final punch list.
- Coordinate civil, racking, PV, inverter, BESS, and MV/HV electrical trades in real time, resolving field conflicts before they hit the schedule, and manage QA/QC, RFI, submittal, and change-order workflows to close-out.
- Track and report daily progress, earned value, cost-to-complete, and resource loading to the Project Manager, and surface procurement risks on long-lead equipment (transformers, switchgear, inverters) early enough to act on them.
Qualifications
- You've managed utility-scale solar, solar-plus-storage, or high-voltage substation construction from mobilization through commercial operation, and the projects you ran came in on schedule.
- You coordinate civil, racking, PV, electrical, and BESS scopes simultaneously without losing track of where each trade is relative to the critical path.
- You enforce safety hard: you've written and executed site safety plans, held subcontractors to them, and managed the documentation to prove it.
- You catch long-lead equipment risks, SCADA integration gaps, and interconnection milestone conflicts before they surface as schedule hits.
- You build and drive integrated schedules in Primavera P6 or MS Project, and your reporting is specific enough that a project manager can act on it the same day they read it.
- Bonus: Utility-scale BESS construction. Substation and gen-tie scope. Multi-site concurrent delivery. OSHA 30.
