About the Role

Join DEPCOM Power, a leader in renewable energy solutions specializing in utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across the United States. We are a project-centric organization that values innovation, operational rigor, and sustainability. You’ll work with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-performance energy projects that drive long-term value.

Responsibilities

• Phase coordination and accountability: Lead phase handoffs and own stage-gate process quality across the full project lifecycle to ensure continuity and accountability.
• Project readiness and mobilization: Produce and validate Project Execution Plans (PEPs) and mobilization deliverables (budget fidelity, construction schedule, procurement sequencing, major subcontract scopes, site logistics, and risk register).
• Tools and process development: Build and roll out playbooks, checklists, templates, and automated dashboards (PowerBI) used across projects to improve predictability and decision-making.
• Analytics and reporting: Develop metrics and dashboards that track pre-construction KPIs (estimate variance, time-to-mobilization, stage-gate compliance, key risk indicators) and present actionable insights to leadership.
• Continuous improvement and lessons learned: Capture and institutionalize lessons learned, lead root-cause reviews for early-project issues, and run pilots to test process or tool improvements.
• Commercial and constructability input: Provide execution-focused input to commercial terms, contract allowances, contingency strategy, and subcontractor/supplier sequencing to reduce execution risk.
• Stakeholder influence: Facilitate cross-functional decision-making, clearly document decisions and action owners, and escalate risks when resolution is required.

Requirements

• Experience in pre-construction, estimating, project engineering, or project planning for medium-to-large construction projects (utility-scale renewables experience strongly preferred).
• Demonstrated experience with stage-gate frameworks and developing Project Execution Plans.
• Proven ability to translate commercial and technical inputs into executable plans.

Qualifications

• Field experience on utility-scale solar and/or energy storage projects (construction or commissioning exposure preferred).
• Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline; PMP or equivalent certification.
• Hands-on experience with Primavera P6, MS Project, Procore (or similar construction management platforms).
• Implementing process improvements or tools adopted across multiple projects.
• Experience managing multiple projects concurrently (typical project sizes: 50–300 MW).
• Willing to travel up to 20–30% for site visits and supplier/partner meetings.

Pay
