Key Responsibilities

• We have an amazing opportunity for a motivated, detail-oriented go-getter to solve hard problems and push renewable energy forward. We’re looking for someone who works quickly and efficiently, has an eye for detail, and isn’t afraid of a challenge. Our team is rapidly acquiring commercial customers and developing solar across the country alongside our national network of solar partners, and we need your help!
• In this role, you’ll work cross-functionally to help our construction team build commercial-scale solar projects across the country, deliver high-quality results for our customers, and leverage Wunder’s industry-leading technology platform to achieve volume and velocity of solar project development. You’ll be responsible for supporting the construction team in delivering projects on-time, on-budget, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.
• This role requires regular travel to active construction sites throughout the Northeast, including Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Occasional travel outside this region may also be required to support project needs.
• If you get excited about unlocking the untapped commercial and industrial market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you.

Requirements

• You Have a Strong Foundation - You have 1–2+ years of managing projects or are a recent graduate with a solid foundation of career experience from a previous internship, part time, or full time role. This could be in Construction, Project Management, Solar Development, or anything that provided you with the tools and resources to be comfortable managing multiple projects concurrently. You take the initiative to reduce risk and get ahead of problems before they impact project timelines or budgets. No stone is ever left unturned and every stakeholder involved knows what’s happening, why it’s happening, and when it needs to be done.
• You’re Detail Oriented & Thorough - You’re meticulous and take a zero-defect approach to problem solving and deliverables. You go the extra mile to ensure all the details to achieve milestones are taken care of on time and on budget. You get excited about having several balls in the air to juggle at any one time while managing multiple projects at once.
• You’re Eager and Ready to Learn - You are at the beginning of an exciting career and you’re ready to get your feet wet and learn all about how the solar development and construction world works. You can’t wait to become an expert in the commercial solar market and construction management. You want to get your hands dirty and try new things, all while saving the planet.
• You Have a Growth Mindset - You’re not just open to new ideas, you actively seek them out. You approach every task with the ambition to learn and evolve. Your growth mindset is evident in your ability to question the status quo and drive forward with creative and effective solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in solar development.
• You Have a Team Ethos - You thrive in a creative, inventive, fast-paced rapid-growth environment, with people who are passionate about their work and mission. You’re not just excited to work cross-functionally, you crave it.
• You’re Flexible, a Quick Responder - The problem we’re trying to solve as an organization is dynamic and each day brings fresh and exciting challenges. You can react quickly and efficiently when called upon to change or pivot.
• You Believe That No Problem is Too Hard - In an industry where people are constantly stuck, we find ways to get it done. You know how to articulate and roll out solutions, recognizing there are many solutions to the same problem. You find new and effective ways to streamline and create processes to increase efficiency.
• Located in the Northeast Region - Candidates must currently live in the Northeast (MD to MA), with the ability to travel regularly to active construction sites.
• Wunder provides one of the only tangible opportunities to truly save the planet - and that’s hard work! Your job impacts nearly every facet of your life, so we provide an extensive compensation and benefits package to ensure Wunder has a positive impact on your life, both personally and professionally.
