Job description

Senior Project Manager - Project Delivery

Our Mission

The Senior Project Manager - Project Delivery role centers around driving technical and commercial outcomes in pursuit of facility construction. We oversee the construction of projects, working with utilities who connect our projects to the grid, offtakers who purchase our power, and the lenders who finance them. You own the coordination between these parties, you report to the Director of Project Delivery, and you bring our projects online in fulfillment of our obligations, on schedule and within budget. You carry a portfolio of PV and battery storage projects, usually two or three at a time, from origination to Final Completion.

What We Do

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll work as part of a team of engineers, financial professionals, construction experts, and business managers to plan, design, finance, and construct PV Arrays and Battery Energy Storage Systems. Your mandate is facilitating collaboration across Nofar USA's functions and managing budgets and schedules throughout project development, preconstruction, construction, and commissioning. You drive those outcomes the whole way, and you hand the project over at Final Completion.

You'll be at the center of our business workflows, inside and outside the company. You'll work with business development and finance on asset acquisitions, identifying risks and planning how to turn our growth strategy into reality. You'll lead RFPs to procure construction services and purchase critical equipment, and you'll carry those agreements through negotiation and administration. During EPCA turns, you consolidate comments and edits, lead the calls that close them, keep the exhibits and the exhibits tracker in order, and negotiate the statement of values with the counterparty. You'll manage interconnection agreements with the utility and the ISO, and you'll work with finance so procurement and construction information reaches our lenders in a form they can rely on. You'll be the subject matter expert of our execution process, keeping Nofar USA accountable to our PPA counterparties, lenders, and utilities, and keeping our vendors and construction partners accountable to us.

Your job will evolve with the project lifecycle, but you can generally expect to:

• Coordinate with EPCs on engineering and construction progress, ensuring that they adhere to the project schedule. Oversee document submittals at key contract milestones. Report progress statistics to senior management during steering committee calls.

• Manage budgets, review and approve invoices, move critical project transactions, and work with Nofar USA controls so financial reporting is accurate

• Work with engineering and procurement to confirm critical equipment specifications, so the equipment can deliver the power we sold and is bankable

• Lead RFPs for construction services and negotiate price and commercial terms

• Consolidate EPCA comments and exhibits, lead the calls that close the comments, keep the exhibits tracker current, and negotiate the statement of values through to NTP

• Attend meetings with utility companies and manage utility and ISO interconnection agreements against the construction schedule

• Work with business development and finance to identify execution risks on acquisitions, and supply the procurement and construction information lenders need

• Report PPA milestones, track the schedule risk around those dates, and hold vendors and contractors to what they owe us

• Travel to projects and partners for up to 25% of your time, and work remotely the rest

• Reconcile the schedule, the cost, and the contract record so that at Final Completion the next team can take the project

What We Value

• People who are driven to succeed, and who can work with minimal oversight

• Detail-oriented people. The tracker, the milestone report, and the budget are useful only when they are right

• Opinionated colleagues, willing to say how a project ought to be run

• People who are passionate about a career bringing power assets online

• People who are comfortable in a growth organization, where the way we work is still being shaped by the people doing the work

What We Require

• Remote or Hybrid work, with up to 25% travel

• A minimum of three years delivering utility-scale solar or battery storage. Five years is preferred

• Required experience in preconstruction, managing budgets, and managing schedules

• Preferred experience with PPA milestone management, utility, and ISO interconnection agreements, EPCA negotiation and administration, and working with finance on lender reporting during procurement and construction

• We look for degrees in mathematics, statistics, engineering, the sciences, finance, and business. But if you believe you can do this job, we encourage you to apply
• Preference will be given to candidates in Fort Lauderdale, FL

What We Offer

A Lean Team Where Your Work Actually Matters
We operate with a lean, highly capable team, which means there aren’t layers of people between you and the work that matters. You’ll have real ownership, direct access to decision-makers, and the opportunity to influence how we build and grow the business. If you want to be a meaningful voice rather than a small part of a very large machine, you’ll find that opportunity here.

A Fast Pace and a High Bar
We believe in being transparent about what it’s like to work here: we move quickly, the workload can be demanding, and our expectations are high. This is an environment for people who enjoy being challenged, solving problems, taking initiative, and figuring things out as we grow. In return, you’ll gain exposure, responsibility, and influence that can take years to earn in a more traditional organization.

Who Thrives Here
The people who do best at Blue Sky are proactive, resourceful, and comfortable taking ownership. They don’t wait to be told what to do next, and they’re willing to step outside the boundaries of a job description when the business needs it. They care about outcomes more than watching the clock, bring solutions instead of simply identifying problems, and genuinely enjoy the energy — and occasional ambiguity — that comes with building a growing company. If you’re a go-getter who wants room to run, you’ll fit in well here.

Benefits That Invest in You
We offer medical, dental, and vision insurance, short-term disability, life insurance, and a 401(k) with a generous 6% company match.

Hybrid, With Purpose
We believe there is real value in being together. Our hybrid model creates regular opportunities for in-person collaboration, faster decision-making, and stronger relationships while still providing flexibility outside of the office.

What to Expect From Our Hiring Process

We’re Choosy — On Purpose.
We fiercely protect the culture we’ve built, and our hiring process reflects that. Skills and experience matter, but so does how you work, how you collaborate, and what you’ll add to the team. We want to get to know the person behind the résumé — and we want you to have plenty of opportunity to get to know us, too.

Our typical hiring process looks like this:

HR Screen → Hiring Manager Interview → Culture Assessment → Case Study, when applicable → Cross-Team Interview → CEO Meet & Greet → Offer

Not every role requires a case study, but for certain positions we use one to better understand how you think, approach problems, and tackle the type of work you would actually be doing here.

It Sounds Like a Lot. It Doesn’t Take a Lot of Time.
We’re deliberate in our hiring decisions, but we’re also decisive. Our average turnaround from initial HR screen to offer is less than two weeks. We move quickly and respect that candidates have jobs, lives, and other opportunities in motion.

You’ll Always Know Where You Stand.
Clear communication is an important part of our candidate experience. We’ll be transparent about the process and expectations from the beginning, keep you informed as you move through each stage, and close the loop when a decision has been made. We believe every candidate deserves clarity and respect for the time they invest in getting to know us.

We’re intentional about who joins our team because every person on a lean team has an outsized impact. When we make an offer, it’s because we’re genuinely excited about what you can bring to the team.
