• Monitor contractor performance by evaluating adherence to project schedules, budget constraints, safety requirements, and quality expectations, and provide feedback and guidance as necessary.
• Oversee commissioning, startup, and acceptance testing, verifying that system controls, communications, and performance meet design intent prior to project closeout.
• Enforce electrical safety and code compliance requirements, including NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 70E, and NFPA 855, ensuring contractors follow approved lockout/tagout and energized work practices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, incentives, procurement, fulfillment, and install support, to ensure seamless project delivery.
• Identify and mitigate risks and obstacles that may impact project timelines or quality, implementing corrective actions as needed.
• Proactively communicate project status, updates, and potential delays to internal stakeholders and customers, maintaining strong relationships and delivering exceptional customer service.
• Collaborate with Fulfillment and Procurement to manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) for each battery storage project, ensuring the accurate and timely delivery of batteries, inverters, switchgear, and balance-of-system materials to contractors.
• Coordinate with Fulfillment/Procurement to resolve any issues related to material availability, quality, or delivery, ensuring timely resolutions to maintain project momentum.
• Maintain accurate inventory and asset records, tracking serialized equipment and all project-related materials, ensuring proper documentation of usage, storage, and replenishment to prevent shortages and avoid project delays.
• Ensure that all project documentation is accurate, complete, and up to date, including project plans, progress reports, change orders, commissioning records, warranty registrations, and closeout documentation.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• A minimum of 4 years in project management, preferably in battery energy storage, solar, or electrical construction.
