Hiring Company Overview:

The leadership team have successfully established and grown several previous large-scale, institutional businesses. Now, they are combining their skillsets to deliver solar, battery energy storage (BESS), and potentially other renewable projects in the Northeast for commercial offtake and long-term ownership.
The business culture is first and foremost based on integrity across our activities. We operate with a long-term partnership ethos internally and with our counterparts. We are a transparent team, organizing ourselves internally for the best results while developing innovative responses to new puzzles. If you enjoy working in an entrepreneurial environment that combines high discipline / aggressive drive with a collaborative atmosphere, then we would love to meet you.
Position Overview:
We are looking for a Senior Project Manager who can build and lead our technical process and potentially build a team under them. At the outset, the role will involve participation in all stages of delivery, providing oversight to external partners (e.g. outsourced EPCs) and ensuring the process is executed correctly. These stages will include technical due diligence, design, interconnection, permitting, construction, delivery, and ongoing maintenance.
We will value your input more broadly as we adjust our tactics to ensure we are matching your technical expertise with our own and we would like to align you through successful project execution and business growth with a path to partnership over the next several years.
