Construction Project Manager

The Construction Project Manager is responsible for the full lifecycle execution of solar PV BESS and commercial EV charging infrastructure projects including engineering procurement construction (EPC) commissioning and handover. This role ensures safe on-time and on-budget delivery while meeting all contractual technical and regulatory requirements.

Core Responsibilities (EPC Execution)

• Lead end-to-end EPC project delivery for solar PV and commercial EV charging (Level 2 & DC fast charging) installations.
• Manage all phases: project development support detailed engineering procurement construction commissioning and closeout.
• Develop and maintain integrated master schedules (engineering procurement construction interconnection).
• Establish and control project budgets cost forecasts cash flow and margin performance (P&L ownership).
• Ensure compliance with EPC contracts scope change orders and risk management plans.
• Drive HSE (Health Safety & Environmental) compliance QA/QC standards and site safety culture.
• Serve as the primary client interface and lead stakeholder communications.

Technical & Engineering Oversight

• Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams (civil structural electrical power systems SCADA/controls).
• Oversee design and installation of:
  • Solar PV systems (modules trackers/racking inverters transformers substations)
  • EV charging infrastructure (chargers switchgear panel upgrades utility interconnection load management systems)
• Ensure compliance with NEC IEEE utility interconnection standards and AHJ requirements.
• Support load studies site assessments energy modeling and system optimization.
• Lead value engineering constructability reviews and design optimization efforts.

Procurement & Supply Chain Management

• Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans for PV equipment and EV charging hardware.
• Manage procurement of modules inverters EV chargers transformers switchgear and BOS components.
• Lead RFP/RFQ processes bid evaluations contract negotiations and vendor selection.
• Build and maintain relationships with OEMs EPC subcontractors and charging network providers.
• Monitor supplier performance logistics lead times and supply chain risk mitigation.

Construction & Field Operations
