Battery storage projects don't build themselves — they need a construction leader who can run crews, subs, and vendors while keeping quality and safety uncompromised. Our client, a rapidly scaling clean energy innovator, is hiring a Senior BESS Construction Manager to lead deployment of grid-scale battery energy storage, associated infrastructure, and solar across a growing multi-state footprint. From bidding and contractor negotiations through commissioning and closeout, the build is yours to run.
Why You'll Love It
Lead the whole build: Bidding, negotiation, execution, punch list, closeout — every phase
The growth sector: BESS and solar deployments expanding across multiple states
People-first leadership role: Proactive team management, not just paperwork oversight
Home base advantage: Nevada residency with no state income tax
What You'll Do
Manage all construction phases — bidding, contractor negotiations, execution, punch lists, closeout
Lead project teams of in-house installers, subcontractors, and vendors; optimize performance against project goals
Develop scopes and RFPs with infrastructure and process engineering teams
Oversee construction financial analysis, budgeting, and productivity
Perform constructability reviews, quality control, and root-cause troubleshooting
Administer RFIs, submittals, change orders, invoicing, contracts, and tracking systems
Coordinate startup, early-phase planning, QA/QC documentation, and commissioning
Champion safety and environmental compliance; report key metrics to leadership
Travel to sites for direct oversight of day-to-day activities
What You'll Bring
8+ years of construction experience, ideally via General or Electrical Contractor — BESS and commercial solar strongly preferred
Bachelor's degree (MS preferred) in Engineering or Construction Management, or equivalent experience
Proficiency in MS Office; Bluebeam, ACC, and MS Project preferred
Ability to read design documents and give constructability feedback before and during construction
Literacy in P&IDs, single-lines, flow, logic, and loop diagrams
