• Validate physical and financial milestones to support owner approval of milestone funding releases.

Reporting & Independent Engineer Coordination

• 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:
