The Opportunity

CJR Renewables is building a ground-floor path for a Mechanical Superintendent: start at the Houston, TX office, then relocate to lead mechanical construction on a utility-scale renewable energy project site in Alamogordo, New Mexico. You'll supervise field crews and subcontractors, coordinate with Safety, QA/QC, Project Controls, and Logistics, and report directly to the General Superintendent/Construction Manager on the mechanical scope of the build.

Why You'll Love This Role

You'll own the mechanical scope on a utility-scale solar or BESS build, not just execute someone else's plan. Compensation is budgeted at $130,000-$140,000 per year and flexible for the right fit, with candidates at the higher end welcome to apply. CJR covers $120/day per diem, seven days a week except during rotation, and pays for rotation travel directly. Relocation is paid, and once you're on-site in Alamogordo, you'll have a company truck for work-related use.

• Read plans and interpret specifications to make real-time operational calls

• Willingness to travel and relocate temporarily to project sites, up to 80-100%
