We are a fast-growing renewable energy development company on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability landscape. GreenKey is rapidly expanding its owned operating portfolio—currently ~40 MW, with plans to add ~100 MW in 2026 and sustain this trajectory for the long-term. As we scale, we need an Owner’s Representative to liaison between the Project Owner and EPC, aligning interests and ensuring projects are delivered with safety, compliance, and financeability in mind.

Building a cleaner, brighter future requires individuals who are ready to act with purpose and precision. As the Owner's Representative for GreenKey Solar, you’ll be at the forefront of enabling clean energy innovation, supporting critical initiatives that drive sustainable progress and industry transformation. Our work directly impacts the fight against climate change while fostering excellence. With an entrepreneurial spirit, a dedication to innovation, and a commitment to our core values, you will be building the future of clean energy in the U.S.

Who You Are:

You are not a passive reviewer. You are a critical thinker and a “get it done” operator. You see around corners, surface issues early, and drive them to resolution. You’re comfortable challenging assumptions, asking hard questions, and holding teams accountable, while also collaborating effectively to keep projects moving.

You learn fast, figure things out, and don’t wait to be told what needs attention. You’re equally comfortable with drawings, field conditions, contract requirements, and lender and Independent Engineer expectations. Your north star is long-term asset performance and risk reduction for the long-term.

Your Mission

As the Owner’s Representative, you are the eyes and ears of GreenKey across all construction activity. Your mission is to protect the Owner’s outcomes, from the schedule, budget, quality, safety, and long-term performance. You will proactively identify risks, enforce contract requirements, validate progress, and drive resolution of issues from design through energization and final completion. You will surface decisions quickly and in real-time as they will be required to ensure any bottlenecks between Owner and EPC are eliminated during construction.

You will partner closely with the EPC, Independent Engineers, lenders, and internal development teams to ensure every project is built right, documented right, and handed off in a way that supports decades of safe, reliable operation.

Your Responsibilities:

Pre-Construction Oversight

• Review, redline, and challenge construction drawing sets (30%, 60%, 90%, IFC) across civil, racking, and electrical, ensuring constructability and long-term O&M functionality.
• Validate designs against permitting conditions, lease constraints/setbacks, interconnection requirements, NEC/AHJ standards, and owner requirements.
• Review EPC subcontractor legitimacy and readiness, including qualifications, scope clarity, and risk flags before mobilization.
• Confirm insurance documentation is complete and compliant for all contractors and subcontractors before work begins.

Construction Monitoring & Owner Protection

• Monitor construction progress against schedule, scope, and budget. Bring risks to the surface early and drive corrective action with EPC leadership.
• Ensure construction activities comply with permits and site requirements (e.g., SWPPP, work-hour restrictions, environmental conditions).
• Enforce EPC contract compliance by reviewing contract deliverables and reporting accuracy throughout construction.
• Review field changes and deviations from drawings to ensure they are technically justified and do not compromise long-term operational success.
• Validate physical and financial milestones to support owner approval of milestone funding releases.
• Operate as the lead for the Project Owner to support necessary decisions in a quick manner as they arise from the EPC during construction to ensure bottlenecks are eliminated.

Reporting & Independent Engineer Coordination

• Review EPC reporting and payment applications to ensure they accurately reflect true project status and meet contract requirements.
• Work directly with Independent Engineers to ensure they receive complete documentation needed for monthly draw certificates and milestone certifications.
• Coordinate revised milestone dates, when delays occur, between Owner, EPC, and IE & Lenders while maintaining compliance with financing agreements.
• Monitor timely processing of conditional/unconditional lien waivers between EPC and Owner, ensuring clean closeout documentation.
• Monitor PWA compliance and coordinate remedy payments and documentation support as required.

Testing, Commissioning & Energization

• Coordinate with any necessary communications required from the Project Owner between utilities and EPC to ensure all energization related activities are performed on schedule, safely and in compliance.
• Review testing and commissioning documentation for completeness, accuracy, and technical validity. Flag issues, investigate root causes, and drive resolution.
• Confirm key test packages and results such as insulation resistance/VLF testing, inverter commissioning, capacity tests, transformer grid match testing, IV curve traces (VOC + polarity), and ground resistance testing.
• Ensure the project receives PTO from the utility and is successfully energized in accordance with interconnection requirements.
• Confirm systems are operating at expected performance: verify inverter-level generation aligns with POI meter readings and assess losses as needed.

Post-Construction Closeout & Long-Term Asset Readiness

• Ensure the site is constructed per plans and that field modifications are captured in accurate, complete as-built drawings.
• Visit project sites to create and drive closure of the final punchlist required for Substantial and Final Completion.
• Confirm major equipment warranties are properly assigned to GreenKey and that closeout packages are complete.
• Ensure final liens are released and documentation is sufficient to support conversion of construction debt to permanent financing.
• Support final certification of PWA compliance, including coordination with third-party audit processes as needed.

What We Value:

• Accountability & Ownership: You step up, own your work, and deliver on promises. You see projects through to completion and take responsibility when challenges arise.
• Creativity & Problem-Solving: Challenges are opportunities for innovation. You think critically, explore solutions, and never settle for the status quo.
• Curiosity & Growth-Oriented: You approach tasks with curiosity, a hunger to learn, and the drive to make processes better.
• Initiative/Self-Starter: You act before being asked, spot opportunities others miss, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Integrity/Transparency: Honesty and trustworthiness are your foundation. You follow through on commitments and build strong, transparent relationships.

Qualifications:

We know that exceptional talent comes in many forms. If you resonate with our values and mission and have the skills to succeed in this role, we encourage you to apply.

QA Engineer

Portland, Oregon | Creative Technology Studio

We don't build ordinary software.

We create immersive brand experiences, interactive environments, and storytelling platforms used by some of the most dynamic companies in the world. From motion-driven installations to large-scale digital environments, our work blends software, hardware, design, and content into experiences that people don't just see — they feel.

We are looking for a QA Engineer to help ensure everything we create performs flawlessly in the real world.

This is not a traditional QA role.

You will be the person shaping how quality works across both bespoke project software and productised platforms, working at the intersection of creative technology, interactive development, and real-world deployment.

You'll join a multidisciplinary team of developers, designers, technologists, and storytellers — and play a critical role in making sure what we build launches smoothly, runs reliably, and delivers the "wow" moment every time.

The Role

As QA Engineer, you will take ownership of testing across our software ecosystem — from interactive front-end applications to internal tools and content management systems.

You'll work across two distinct types of work:

• Experience-driven projects — bespoke, fast-moving, highly creative builds where every delivery is different
• Product platforms — repeatable, structured software that must meet strict quality and reliability standards

This role requires someone who can operate independently, define processes, and build QA capability as the team continues to grow.

You will be the go-to person for quality, helping us move from reactive testing to a scalable, repeatable, and well-defined QA practice.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own QA across both project-based and product-based software development
• Test interactive applications, CMS tools, and internal platforms across front-end and back-end environments
• Build and maintain automated testing scripts and frameworks
• Define QA processes that work for both structured products and fast-moving creative projects
• Manage test data and environments to support reliable testing
• Work closely with developers to identify, reproduce, and resolve issues quickly
• Support deployment, versioning, regression, and release workflows
• Produce clear documentation for internal teams and client delivery
• Help establish QA standards as the software team continues to scale

What We're Looking For

• Experience in QA / software testing across web, native, or interactive applications
• Comfortable working independently as the primary QA specialist
• Experience with automated testing tools or scripting (Python, JavaScript, or similar)
• Understanding of QA methodology, regression testing, and deployment workflows
• Ability to work across both structured products and bespoke project builds
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving mindset
• Comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams
• Clear communicator, able to work with developers, designers, and technical directors
• Experience working on Windows environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with creative / interactive frameworks (Cinder, TouchDesigner, Vue, etc.)
• Experience testing AV / hardware / installation-based systems
• Familiarity with CI/CD or deployment automation
• Experience working in agencies, creative tech studios, or product teams

Why Join

Work on projects you won't find anywhere else

Interactive environments, motion-driven installations, projection-mapped spaces, and immersive storytelling platforms.

Small team, big impact

You'll be shaping how QA works, not just following a process.

Creative + technical culture

Developers, designers, strategists, and technologists working side-by-side.

Global work

Projects delivered around the world, across industries and technologies.

Room to build something

This role will help define how quality scales as the software team grows.
