Job description

Senior Project Manager Utility Scale Solar (Field Based)

The Senior Project Manager will serve as a key delivery leader for complex utility-scale solar projects, acting as the primary liaison between the project owner and multiple vendors responsible for on-site execution. This role requires deep technical and industry knowledge, strong field experience, and proven leadership managing construction-phase activities across engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) partners.

This position is field-oriented and Texas-based. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience delivering solar generation projects in live field environments and excels at coordinating diverse stakeholders to ensure safe, high-quality, on-schedule project execution.

Responsibilities

  • Owner's Representative & Liaison
    • Function as the primary interface between the project owner and EPCs, subcontractors, equipment suppliers, inspectors, and other third-party vendors.
    • Represent owner interests onsite, ensuring contract adherence, quality standards, safety compliance, and schedule performance.
  • Project Execution & Field Oversight
    • Oversee and report status during end-to-end execution of complex solar projects, from pre-construction planning through commissioning and turnover.
    • Provide active on-site presence as required to monitor construction progress, resolve field issues, and drive corrective actions.
    • Coordinate field construction activities including civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, and commissioning scopes.
    • Monitor performance testing methods and results.
  • Planning, Schedule & Cost Control
    • Develop and manage detailed project execution plans, including scope definition, milestones, schedules, and deliverables.
    • Track and report schedule performance, productivity, risks, and cost impacts; proactively mitigate delays or inefficiencies.
    • Review vendor progress, change requests, and pay applications to ensure alignment with contractual and budgetary expectations.
  • Technical Leadership
    • Apply strong technical judgment to solar plant design, installation means and methods, interconnection requirements, and commissioning activities.
    • Collaborate with engineering teams to resolve constructability issues, RFIs, and design modifications encountered in the field.
    • Identify, develop, and implement constructability improvements.
  • Risk Management & Issue Resolution
    • Identify project risks early and implement mitigation strategies related to safety, quality, schedule, constructability, and vendor performance.
    • Facilitate resolution of on-site conflicts, interface challenges, and unforeseen conditions while maintaining owner relationships and project momentum.
  • Communication & Reporting
    • Provide clear, timely communication to owner stakeholders, leadership, and project teams regarding progress, risks, and key decisions.
    • Prepare executive-level status reports, dashboards, and field updates.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
  • 10+ years of progressive project management experience, with significant emphasis on utility-scale solar projects.
  • Experience implementing and enforcing construction safety programs, including hazard analysis, regulatory compliance (OSHA and applicable federal standards), and on-site safety leadership.
  • Demonstrated field experience managing solar construction activities and vendor-led execution.
  • Strong understanding of EPC delivery models, construction sequencing, safety programs, and commissioning processes.
  • Experience acting as owner's representative or lead interface between owners and contractors is strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with electrical systems, power generation facilities, and grid-interconnection requirements.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple contractors and vendors in fast-paced, high-risk field environments.
  • PMP certification preferred.
