Security Project Manager Jobs in Brighton, TN (NOW HIRING)

EPP Resources, LLC — Owner’s Representative Project Management

Energy Project Partners (EPP) is a rapidly expanding energy project services firm providing project management, owner’s representation, field services, QA/QC, digital solutions, and technical consulting across a broad range of major capital and utility‑scale energy projects in the U.S. Through our integrated divisions — EPP Resources, EPP Field Services, and EPP Digital Solutions — we combine people, processes, and technology to deliver industry‑leading results.

The Project Manager delivers owner’s representative project management on utility‑scale energy projects — wind, solar, and battery‑energy‑storage (BESS) — across the full project lifecycle, from early‑ and mid‑stage development and pre‑construction through construction, commissioning, and turnover to operations, as a member of EPP’s Project Management Solutions (PMS) team. Acting on behalf of the owner, the Project Manager leads execution of all site activities, manages EPC/OEM and vendor performance and the owner’s on‑site quality‑control team, and coordinates the many stakeholders required to bring complex energy projects to completion.

This is a hands‑on, client‑facing, billable delivery role that often involves managing multiple projects with competing deadlines and resources. Reporting to the Director – Resource Solutions and frequently embedded with an owner’s project team, the Project Manager applies EPP’s owner’s‑rep methodology to protect the owner’s cost, schedule, quality, and safety interests at every phase.
