Position: Solar Project Manager Engineer (C&I Focus)

Location: On-site in Fairfield County, CT

Start Date: ASAP (Flexible Based on Candidate Availability)

We are recruiting on behalf of our client—a dynamic and financially backed leader in the clean energy industry—for a Solar Project Manager Engineer to lead the execution of Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar projects. This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative team and play a vital role in deploying high-impact renewable energy solutions nationwide.

About the Role:

As a Solar Project Manager Engineer, you will be responsible for managing the technical planning, execution, and delivery of C&I solar projects from inception through commissioning. This role requires a strong foundation in both engineering and project management, as well as the ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Project Planning & Execution: Lead the full lifecycle of solar projects—from early-stage design review through construction and final commissioning—ensuring alignment with budget, schedule, and quality expectations.
  • Technical Oversight: Collaborate with solar designers, production engineers, procurement teams, and construction managers to validate and optimize PV system designs and ensure constructability and code compliance.
  • Scheduling & Coordination: Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, milestones, and task tracking. Coordinate all internal resources and third-party vendors/contractors to execute project deliverables.
  • Documentation & Permitting: Oversee the preparation and submission of technical documentation, interconnection applications, and permitting packages. Track all regulatory and utility approvals.
  • Site Visits & Quality Assurance: Conduct regular site visits to verify construction progress, ensure safety and quality compliance, and resolve any on-site issues in collaboration with field teams.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Act as the central point of contact for internal leadership, field teams, and clients, providing clear updates on progress, risks, and resolutions throughout the project.
  • Risk Management: Proactively identify and mitigate risks related to scope, timeline, interconnection, and permitting. Troubleshoot and resolve technical or logistical issues as they arise.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Experience: Proven track record of managing Commercial & Industrial solar projects, with at least 2–4 years of hands-on experience in a technical project management role within the solar or clean energy industry.
  • Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of solar PV system components, NEC code, construction processes, and permitting requirements. Familiarity with design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Helioscope, PVsyst) is a plus.
  • Project Management Tools: Experience using tools such as MS Project, Smartsheet, or other scheduling software to track tasks, budgets, and deliverables.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Renewable Energy, or related field) preferred.
  • Communication & Leadership: Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills. Able to effectively lead cross-functional teams and coordinate with both internal and external stakeholders.

Benefits & Culture Highlights:

  • Relocation Package: Included if needed
  • Onsite Perks: Complimentary breakfast and lunch, ping pong table, regular team events, and social gatherings

  • Up to two remote days per month
  • Fully remote between Christmas and New Year
