Overview We are seeking multiple Electrical Project Managers (3–5 openings) to lead the electrical execution of utility-scale solar and hybrid energy projects across the United States. These roles are fully field-based and responsible for delivering large, complex renewable energy projects from mobilization through commissioning and energization.
Projects range from standalone solar to solar + BESS and hybrid energy developments (including data center integration), typically in the 250MW–500MW+ range.
Location & Travel Requirement • 100% travel required (non-negotiable) • Candidates will temporarily relocate to project sites • Rotation schedule: 3 weeks on / 5 days off • Project locations across the U.S. Compensation & Benefits Base Salary • $125,600 – $170,000 Bonus & Incentives • Annual cash bonus • Project completion bonus • Long-term travel incentive • Paid weekly Travel & Mobility Package • Per diem • Travel home allowance • Mileage reimbursement to project site • Relocation assistance Project Scope • Utility-scale solar projects averaging 250MW–500MW+ • Project durations ranging from 9 months to 2 years • Larger developments may extend up to 4 years • Projects may include: o Standalone solar generation o Solar + Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) o Hybrid infrastructure (solar + data centers or other load integration)
Responsibilities This role owns the full electrical scope of construction execution across major renewable energy projects.
Key responsibilities include: • Lead electrical execution from mobilization through commissioning and energization • Manage full electrical budget, forecasting, and cost control • Oversee subcontractor procurement, buyout, and performance • Drive electrical construction schedule adherence and field execution • Coordinate with EPC partners, utilities, and technical stakeholders • Manage commissioning planning and energization execution • Support interconnection activities and utility coordination • Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and technical standards
Team Leadership • Lead a field electrical team of 2–10 engineers and project staff • Provide mentorship and day-to-day leadership in the field • Report to Senior Project Management / Project Executive • Maintain dotted-line coordination with senior electrical leadership overseeing a portfolio of projects
Technical Scope Candidates should have strong working knowledge of: • Medium and high-voltage electrical systems • Collector systems and substations • Utility interconnection processes • Electrical construction sequencing and field execution • Commissioning and energization procedures • Subcontractor management in electrical scopes
Qualifications Required: • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent hands-on electrical construction experience) • Experience managing large-scale electrical construction projects • Strong financial and budget ownership experience • Field-based leadership experience Preferred: • Utility-scale solar project experience • EPC / design-build construction background • Exposure to BESS or hybrid energy systems • Commissioning and energization experience • Understanding of utility interconnection processes
Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is a field-driven electrical construction leader who: • Has owned full electrical scopes on large-scale projects • Thrives in a 100% travel, rotational field environment • Combines technical electrical expertise with financial ownership • Has strong subcontractor and stakeholder management experience • Is comfortable leading small to mid-sized engineering teams in the field • Understands how to drive execution from greenfield through energization
Key Differentiators for Success • Utility-scale experience (not residential or small commercial solar) • Proven budget ownership on large projects • Hands-on electrical construction leadership (not purely design/engineering) • Strong commissioning and energization exposure • Ability to operate independently in fast-paced field environments
To Apply Submit your resume highlighting: • Largest electrical project size ($ value + MW) • Specific role in commissioning and energization • Budget responsibility and cost control experience • Travel/field rotation experience
