• Serve as the primary point of contact for stakeholders, including internal teams, suppliers, and trade labor organizations
• Support on-site construction activities and ensure projects remain on schedule and within budget
• Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements
• Mentor junior project managers and engineers as needed

What We’re Looking For

• Experience managing large-scale construction projects
• Utility or infrastructure project background
• At least 6 months of renewable energy experience (solar, wind, or energy storage)
