We are partnering with a leading U.S.-based Independent Power Producer and renewable energy developer to hire a Project Manager supporting a portfolio of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across the country.

This organization develops, finances, owns, and operates renewable energy assets at scale and is focused on long-term asset performance, disciplined project execution, and delivering reliable clean power to the grid. The culture is fast-paced, highly collaborative, and strongly execution-oriented.

Role Overview

The Project Manager will act as the single point of accountability for assigned projects from late-stage development through construction and final turnover to Operations & Asset Management.

This is a hands-on execution role requiring strong experience within an IPP or owner-operator environment, with direct accountability for EPC delivery, commercial oversight, and cross-functional coordination.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support high-voltage interconnection coordination and utility interface activities
  • Provide regular reporting to internal leadership, lenders, and external stakeholders
  • Ensure compliance with EHS requirements and industry standards
  • Support final project closeout and operational handoff

Ideal Background

  • 2–5+ years of experience in utility-scale renewable energy project execution within an IPP, developer-operator, or owner’s rep environment (required)
  • Strong understanding of EPC contracting and large-scale construction management
  • Experience across solar PV and/or battery energy storage projects
  • Familiarity with high-voltage interconnection and utility coordination strongly preferred
  • Proficiency with tools such as Excel, Power BI, MS Project, Procore, SiteTracker, or similar
  • Strong commercial awareness and ability to manage contractors from an owner’s perspective

Why This Role
