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.

• 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.
