Job description

About Us
 
Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today - we're changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power - delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America's energy and future right where it's needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we're reshaping how - and how fast - energy gets built in the U.S.
 
Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy's Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.
 
Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.
 
We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously - but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we're collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other - whether that's troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.
 
If you're looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment - and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. - we'd love to meet you.
 
About The Role

The Engineering Portfolio Manager is responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and performance of a portfolio of solar energy projects from early-stage development through construction support. This role ensures engineering consistency, resource optimization, and alignment with business objectives across multiple projects, while driving standardization, efficiency, and technical excellence.

Responsibilities
  • Manage a portfolio of utility-scale, commercial, and/or distributed solar projects through the independent engineering technical review process.

  • Establish and enforce processes for clear communication and deliverables scope of work.
  • Track portfolio performance metrics (cost, schedule, risk, and quality) and report to leadership
  • Identify and mitigate technical risks and project bottlenecks proactively
  • Be aware of compliance with local, state, and federal codes, utility requirements, and interconnection standards.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance engineering efficiency and scalability alongside strategies to help reduce lag between milestones.
  • Support due diligence efforts for new project acquisitions and pipeline expansion.
  • Work with Solar design team to provide guidance on project specifics and energy modelling assumptions.
  • Assist with the commissioning and testing review with Asset management to proactively reduce downtime during operational phase.
Qualifications
   Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, or related field); PE license preferred
   3+ years of experience in solar or renewable energy engineering, with portfolio or program management exposure
   Strong understanding of solar PV system design, including electrical, structural, and civil components
   Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
   Familiarity with interconnection processes, AHJ requirements, and utility coordination
   Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet, Primavera)
   Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills
Preferred Skills
   Experience with utility-scale and/or C&I solar portfolios
   Knowledge of energy storage systems (BESS) integration
   Familiarity with software such as AutoCAD, PVsyst, Helioscope, or similar
   PMP or equivalent project management certification
$105,000 - $130,000 a year
Salary will vary depending on your location and job-related skills and experience. This is an incentive-based position with the potential to earn more. For part-time roles, your compensation will be adjusted to reflect your hours.
Benefits and Perks
 
We offer competitive compensation and benefits designed to support you inside and outside of work:
 
       Training / Professional development opportunities
       401(k) with 4% company match
