  • Manage project budgets, construction oversight, and EPC contract milestone payments, including internal reporting and forecasting.
  • Guarantee project quality by coordinating on-site inspections and liaising with third-party providers when necessary.
  • Lead weekly project progress meetings and coordinate on-site visits with construction teams to ensure alignment with project design and schedule (visits completed directly or by third party Owner’s reps).
  • Systematically identify, monitor, and communicate project risks while keeping all project documentation up to date.
  • Effectively communicate project updates, risks, and issues both within the company and with external partners.
  • Serve as 38DN's in-house expert on project engineering, construction, and EPC contracting, offering insights and guidance across the organization, including to the project development and acquisition teams for pre-construction, development-stage projects.
  • Lead after-action reviews to cultivate continuous improvement and contribute to the evolution of internal operating policies and standards.
  • Following completion of construction, support handover to 38DN Asset Management.
  • Collaborate closely with developers, consultants, engineers, and other stakeholders; foster and manage relationships to ensure consistent engagement and alignment with project objectives.
  • Uphold the company's safety program standards, ensuring all projects comply with established safety protocols.


Qualifications:

  • 3-5+ years of experience in solar project engineering and/or construction management.
  • Relevant bachelor's degree preferred, advanced degree in a related field is valued but not mandatory.
  • Exceptional analytical skills, with a history of managing financial, technical, and contractual aspects of construction projects.

  • Experience with the project development process, including interconnection and permitting.
  • Experience with contract negotiation and overseeing due diligence processes.
  • Quick to adapt and eager to grow within a thriving, fast-paced environment.

  • Outstanding communication abilities, both written and verbal, with proficiency in preparing detailed reports and presentations.
  • Collaborative spirit, a good sense of humor, and a driven, mission-oriented approach.
