Project Manager —Renewable Energy Projects

Core Responsibilities

• Serve as the day-to-day liaison between Client management and Gray Hawk field teams — receiving project objectives, priorities, and schedule changes from Client and translating them into clear, actionable field direction.
• Direct and coordinate all right-of-way agents, document/database specialists, title staff, and other Gray Hawk personnel assigned to Client projects.
• Assign parcels and workloads, set production targets, and manage the full acquisition workflow to meet Client’s project milestones and schedule.
• Track and report acquisition progress to Client on a regular cadence — parcel status, executed agreements, outstanding tracts, and overall project pace.
• Review and quality-control all documentation, agreements, and deliverables before they are submitted to Client.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and escalate title defects, curative issues, problem parcels, and difficult or legally represented landowners.
• Manage scope and budget adherence; promptly flag any change that affects cost or timeline to Client and Gray Hawk leadership.
• Cook up field logistics across the project geography — staffing coverage, scheduling, and travel across the Panhandle and Permian Basin.
• Ensure all field work complies with Client’s project requirements, applicable regulations, and Gray Hawk safety and documentation standards.
• Onboard, support, and mentor ROW agents and field staff; reinforce the Gray Hawk Proactive Standard — agents actively pursue landowners after first contact rather than waiting.
• Maintain accurate, current project records in Gray Hawk’s systems (NetSuite, Dropbox).

Success Metrics

• Fully oriented to Client’s project portfolio, reporting expectations, and project-specific requirements.
• Field team operating under clear assignments with no active parcels left unassigned.
• Reporting cadence to Client established and consistently met.
• No unresolved escalations aging beyond 3 days without a documented status and path to resolution.
• Acquisition milestones met or exceeded on schedule across assigned Client projects.
• Client regards Gray Hawk as a reliable, well-managed delivery partner — reflected in client feedback and renewed or expanded scope.
• No material documentation errors on executed agreements.
• Stable field-team performance and retention; agents consistently operating to the Gray Hawk Proactive Standard.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years managing right-of-way or land acquisition projects, preferably in the energy or renewables sector.
• Demonstrated experience leading field teams of ROW agents and support staff.
• Working knowledge of title research, easements, curative processes, and the full ROW acquisition workflow.
• Strong client-facing communication and reporting skills; comfortable serving as the face of Gray Hawk to a client’s management team.
• Proficiency with project-tracking and document systems (NetSuite, Dropbox, or comparable).
• Valid driver’s license and the ability and willingness to travel extensively across the Texas Panhandle and Permian Basin.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience on solar and/or wind energy right-of-way projects.
• Familiarity with Texas land, ROW, and title practices.
• SR/WA or RW/AC certification (IRWA).
