How much do solar project manager jobs pay per year?
What is the difference between Solar Project Manager vs Solar Engineer?
| Aspect | Solar Project Manager | Solar Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in engineering, project management certification often preferred | Bachelor's or master's in electrical, mechanical, or renewable energy engineering |
| Work Environment | Oversees project teams, coordinates with clients, manages schedules and budgets | Designs, analyzes, and develops solar systems, often working in labs or on-site |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Used by solar development companies, EPC firms, and project owners | Commonly employed by engineering firms, solar manufacturers, and consulting agencies |
The Solar Project Manager focuses on overseeing solar projects from initiation to completion, managing teams, budgets, and timelines. In contrast, the Solar Engineer concentrates on designing and analyzing solar systems, ensuring technical feasibility and performance. Both roles require technical knowledge, but their daily responsibilities and focus areas differ significantly.
What Does a Solar Project Manager Do?
A solar project manager oversees the installation of solar projects, from small residential and commercial roofing projects to large-scale solar power plants. Your duties and responsibilities in this career can vary slightly depending on the scale of your project plan, but many of the principles are overlapping. You need to know how to develop budgets, manage proposals and bids from contractors, negotiate prices, pull building permits, coordinate the construction schedule, and be familiar with tax incentives and rebates for which your clients may qualify.

Job description
Are you ready to take the next step in your construction career and help shape the future of clean energy? We’re looking for a self-driven, resourceful, and disciplined Assistant Project Manager to support the successful delivery of utility-scale solar projects across the U.S. This is a high-impact, growth-oriented role designed to develop future project leaders. You’ll be part of a team that partners with top energy clients nationwide to build a more sustainable future—one solar project at a time.
Working directly onsite, you’ll collaborate with field teams, subcontractors, and senior leadership to ensure projects are executed safely, on time, and within budget. You’ll play a critical role in managing day-to-day operations, tracking progress, and solving problems in real time—while learning the full project lifecycle from pre-construction through close-out.
Location & Travel Details: You’ll get the opportunity to travel across the US, helping our team build renewable projects. This is a traveling position (up to 100%), where you will be onsite at a project location. You have the potential to be placed on a project site located in any state throughout the US. You’ll spend 8-16 months on average per project. We offer designated daily per diem in addition to base pay to support and help you cover living expenses. A vehicle allowance will be provided. Our company has one of the industry leading rotational programs as well, with routine travel home from the jobsite.
