Senior BESS Construction Manager (EPC) — Take Grid-Scale Storage From Dirt to Energized
McCarran, NV (50%+ travel — IL, MI, TX & future sites) | Full-Time | $130,000 – $170,000
The Opportunity
Battery storage projects don't build themselves — they need a construction leader who can run crews, subs, and vendors while keeping quality and safety uncompromised. Our client, a rapidly scaling clean energy innovator, is hiring a Senior BESS Construction Manager to lead deployment of grid-scale battery energy storage, associated infrastructure, and solar across a growing multi-state footprint. From bidding and contractor negotiations through commissioning and closeout, the build is yours to run.
Why You'll Love It
- Lead the whole build: Bidding, negotiation, execution, punch list, closeout — every phase
- The growth sector: BESS and solar deployments expanding across multiple states
- People-first leadership role: Proactive team management, not just paperwork oversight
- Home base advantage: Nevada residency with no state income tax
What You'll Do
- Manage all construction phases — bidding, contractor negotiations, execution, punch lists, closeout
- Lead project teams of in-house installers, subcontractors, and vendors; optimize performance against project goals
- Develop scopes and RFPs with infrastructure and process engineering teams
- Oversee construction financial analysis, budgeting, and productivity
- Perform constructability reviews, quality control, and root-cause troubleshooting
- Administer RFIs, submittals, change orders, invoicing, contracts, and tracking systems
- Coordinate startup, early-phase planning, QA/QC documentation, and commissioning
- Champion safety and environmental compliance; report key metrics to leadership
- Travel to sites for direct oversight of day-to-day activities
What You'll Bring
- 8+ years of construction experience, ideally via General or Electrical Contractor — BESS and commercial solar strongly preferred
- Bachelor's degree (MS preferred) in Engineering or Construction Management, or equivalent experience
- Proficiency in MS Office; Bluebeam, ACC, and MS Project preferred
- Ability to read design documents and give constructability feedback before and during construction
- Literacy in P&IDs, single-lines, flow, logic, and loop diagrams
- Skill sequencing installations across all trades
- Preferred: permitting/special inspections experience, commissioning agent management
- Willingness to travel 50%+ (IL, MI, TX, and future locations)
