Job description

Senior Project Manager - San Diego or Los Angeles, CA (Hybrid)

Ever managed a project that touched solar, storage, EV charging and a microgrid, all under one contract?

You won't be siloed into a single technology here. This Senior Project Manager role owns projects end to end, from contract signature through construction to handover, across solar PV, battery storage and EV charging on the same portfolio. If you want your next role to stretch further than the last one, this is the shape of that.

What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)

You'll run the full project lifecycle: budgets, schedules, permitting, utility and township coordination, incentive management, and contractor negotiation. You're the one managing field operations, subcontractors and equipment deliveries, running QA/QC and safety inspections on active sites, and staying close to clients from award through to the operations team taking over.

You'll also have real input on how the business runs, not just how your own projects run. Feedback on installation practices and company protocol is genuinely used here, not filed away.

Where you'll be doing it

This is a hybrid role, based out of either San Diego or Los Angeles, whichever suits you. The company is backed by one of the world's largest renewable energy groups, so you get the scale and stability of a major platform without losing the pace of a specialist team. It's also built its own proprietary software to monitor and optimize client energy systems after installation, so the projects you deliver keep performing long after your part is done.

Worth knowing upfront: it's three days a week in the office and two from home, with project-based site visits expected on top. If you're looking to trade full-time field life for more ownership and less time on your feet, that's the trade this role offers.

What you'll need

• 5+ years managing commercial-scale solar, storage or EV charging construction projects
• Comfortable owning a project end to end, from contract signature through construction to handover
• A valid driver's license with a clean record, and the ability to travel to sites as needed

What you'll get

$130k to $155k base, plus an annual performance bonus, full medical, dental and vision cover, 401(k), and paid time off.
