• Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, subcontractors, and client relationships simultaneously across multiple projects
• Thorough understanding of construction contracts (AIA preferred), engineering drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements
• Proficiency in MS Office Suite, MS Project, and/or Smartsheet; experience with ERP systems (Sage preferred)
• Comfort working with high-voltage AC and DC electrical systems
• Physical ability to traverse job sites, work on ladders and man-lifts, and lift up to 50 lbs
• PMP certification preferred; NABCEP certification a significant plus
• Solar PV system experience (design, installation, or maintenance) strongly preferred
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; high emotional intelligence and client-service orientation
• Proven track record of problem-solving under pressure with a high degree of self-accountability

Why This Role
