Solar Project Manager
About You:
You’re the kind of person who knows what a megger test is and how to read it. You’ve turned a wrench, traced a ground fault in the field, and you don’t need a refresher on torque settings — you’ve lived them. Maybe you’ve been a journeyman or a lead tech and now you're managing contractors, budgets, and production targets. You’re comfortable walking a site, reviewing a PM report, and knowing instantly if it’s nonsense or solid. You’ve dealt with gruff subcontractors but know how to keep the tone professional and get the job done.
You write clean, professional emails. You can hop into Excel, Outlook, or Word with no drama. You’re responsive, friendly, and respectful — especially to the tenants and stakeholders onsite. You don’t ghost people. You keep your promises. You care.
Most importantly, you're motivated. You want to be on a team that works hard, sets a high bar, and supports each other. You’re looking for a role where you own a large portfolio of solar sites, and your work actually moves the needle.
About Us:
We’re one of the fastest-growing solar asset owners in the country. We manage hundreds of commercial and industrial solar sites across the U.S., and we believe that the people in the field, in the weeds, and on the phone lines deserve just as much respect as the folks in the boardroom. We’re serious about performance, safety, and long-term operations — and we need people who are just as serious.
We’re expanding our team and looking for a Regional Asset Manager who will own a large portfolio of sites (150–300), solve problems fast, and be a reliable POC for our vendors, customers, and tenants. You’ll oversee maintenance, remediations, budgets, and safety. You’ll travel, walk sites, and get your hands dirty when needed. This is not a desk-only role. You’ll be expected to build real relationships, make real decisions, and drive performance.
- Own full-scope asset management for 150–300 commercial solar sites.
- Achieve 100% controllable Weather Adjusted Production — solve issues fast, hold vendors accountable.
- Maintain site safety and prevent thermal events — OSHA/NFPA70E standards are second nature to you.
- Keep maintenance spend under budget.
- Visit 10% of your sites each year and walk 5% of incoming sites — eyes on the ground matters
- Oversee 3–5 major site remediations each year, start to finish
- Be a friendly, reliable POC for tenants and site contacts — answer the phone when things go wrong
- Maintain and update provider lists for O&M, MV, landscaping, etc.
- Review preventative maintenance reports and interpret contractor quality and thoroughness
- Track and maintain warranties, spares, and site history (with analyst support)
- Approve invoices and upload clean data into Salesforce
- Be on-call for emergencies (we rotate coverage)
- 4+ years of hands-on technical experience with C&I solar components
- 4+ years of solar project management — sourcing, pricing, and managing subs
- Ability to read a 3-line electrical diagram, interpret spec sheets, and diagnose field issues
- Experience with electrical testing (megger, IR, ground faults)
- Strong understanding of site safety: OSHA 10/30, NFPA70E
- Ability to review contractor PM reports and spot BS
- Comfortable pushing back on underperforming vendors — respectfully, but firmly
- Strong writing and communication skills — you can craft a clean email or report
- Competency with Outlook, Word, Excel, Zoom, Teams, Slack
- Live in-region and understand local utility/regulatory requirements (like fire form, etc.)
- 5+ years of professional experience total
- Willingness to roll up your sleeves and work in a fast-moving, scaling environment
- Competitive base salary + bonus opportunity
- Full healthcare, dental, vision, and life insurance
- 401(k) with match
- PTO and paid family leave
- Take-home vehicle (depending on region)
- Education reimbursement for relevant coursework or certifications
- Strong culture of respect, performance, and personal growth
