Job description

Location: National Travel ( Rotational Schedule )

Salary Range: $130,000 - $160,000

Renewyx is representing a globally established EPC contractor that is actively scaling its project delivery team across the United States. This organisation brings deep international experience in the delivery of large-scale renewable energy infrastructure and is now executing a strong and growing pipeline of utility-scale solar and BESS developments across the US. They operate with a structured, well-resourced delivery model and offer experienced field leaders a high-impact environment where their expertise directly drives project outcomes.

They are seeking a Solar Superintendent to join their construction team on a national, project-based basis, first project in NM. In this senior field leadership role, you will supervise and direct mechanical crews and subcontractors across active utility-scale solar and BESS sites, overseeing the structural and mechanical execution of solar arrays including racking systems, tracker installations, and module placement. You will enforce OSHA compliance, validate subcontractor work plans and method statements, coordinate material deliveries and equipment allocation, lead daily tailboard meetings and look-ahead planning sessions, and provide daily progress reporting to the Construction Manager and General Superintendent.

A minimum of 5 years of field supervisory experience on utility-scale solar, wind, or BESS projects is a firm requirement, specifically within the mechanical or structural discipline. This organisation needs proven mechanical field leaders who understand large-scale tracker and racking systems and can manage high-volume crew operations on live sites. Candidates without direct utility-scale mechanical supervision experience are unlikely to be the right fit.

This is a compelling opportunity for a road-ready mechanical superintendent who wants to work on large, high-profile renewable energy projects with a well-capitalised global contractor that is building something significant in the US market.

The ideal candidate should have the following:

• 5+ years of field supervisory experience in the mechanical or structural discipline on utility-scale solar, BESS, or wind EPC projects. This is a non-negotiable requirement
• Demonstrable experience overseeing large-scale mechanical solar installations including tracker systems, racking configurations, and module placement
• Proven ability to supervise mechanical crews and subcontractors, manage manpower plans, and enforce productivity targets on active construction sites
• Strong working knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1926, mechanical installation standards, QA/QC processes, and site safety management practices
• Experience validating subcontractor work plans, method statements, lift plans, and equipment-use plans
• Experience with Procore or similar construction management platforms is preferred
• Familiarity with scheduling tools such as MS Project or Primavera P6 is advantageous
• Full willingness to travel and temporarily relocate to project sites nationally (up to 80-100%)
• Strong leadership, conflict resolution, and communication skills across crews, subcontractors, vendors, and client representatives
