Project Manager | Commercial Solar & Energy Storage

TLDR

Manage full project lifecycle for commercial solar PV and battery storage projects with a focus on financial oversight and stakeholder alignment in a rapidly scaling organization.

The energy transition is happening now — and our client is building the infrastructure that makes it real. A vertically integrated clean energy company operating across engineering, construction, and long-term asset management, they don't just build solar and storage projects: they originate, design, construct, and operate them with full lifecycle accountability. This is a team that thinks like operators and executes like builders.

They're looking for a Project Manager who thrives on structured execution, owns their projects end-to-end, and brings a solutions-first mindset to every challenge. If you're energized by complex, high-stakes clean energy construction and want to grow inside an organization that's scaling fast and promoting from within, this is the role.

What You'll Own

  • Full project lifecycle management for commercial solar PV and battery storage projects — from permitting and contracts through construction, closeout, and handoff
  • Financial oversight including monthly billing, cost tracking, budget forecasting, and weekly financial reviews; managing CSI and job coding accuracy throughout
  • Subcontractor coordination and procurement support — running construction meetings, drafting agreements, supporting buyout, and partnering with field teams to stay ahead of risk
  • RFI and change order management, client communications, and OAC coordination to keep all stakeholders aligned and projects moving
  • Pre-construction support including RFP/RFQ responses and scope distribution alongside the estimating team
  • Driving documentation discipline across Jonas Premier, Smartsheet, MS Project, and Slack so nothing falls through the cracks

Requirements

  • 2+ years of progressive project management experience in commercial construction — solar, storage, MEP, or technical construction background preferred
  • Fluency in the full project delivery cycle: permits, inspections, scheduling, procurement, billing, and closeout
  • Financial acumen — you're comfortable owning a budget, tracking costs, and surfacing variances before they become problems
  • Strong working knowledge of MEP trades and building permit processes
  • Proficiency with Google Suite, MS Office, Smartsheet; exposure to Jonas Premier a plus
  • A "whatever it takes" approach — you wear multiple hats without complaint and find solutions before escalating problems
  • Authorization to work in the U.S. (no sponsorship available)
  • Must be local to or willing to work on-site in the Greater Monterey Bay Area — relocation candidates not considered
