We are seeking a Project Manager, Solar Preconstruction to lead the planning and development of utility-scale and commercial solar projects from initial opportunity through notice to proceed. This role will coordinate technical, commercial, and operational inputs to create accurate, competitive, and buildable project plans. You will work closely with development, engineering, procurement, construction, finance, and external partners to evaluate project feasibility, define scopes of work, manage schedules, and support successful project handover.
Key responsibilities include reviewing bid invitations, site information, designs, geotechnical reports, interconnection requirements, permits, and contract documents; identifying project risks, constraints, and value-engineering opportunities; and coordinating estimates, budgets, schedules, logistics plans, construction methodologies, and subcontractor proposals. You will manage preconstruction activities and deliverables, maintain clear communication with stakeholders, lead meetings, track action items, and ensure decisions are documented. The role will also support procurement and subcontractor engagement, review technical submissions, contribute to contract negotiations, and prepare clear presentations and recommendations for internal and external audiences. Occasional travel to project sites, client meetings, and industry events may be required.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience managing preconstruction, estimating, engineering, or project development activities within the solar, renewable energy, electrical, civil construction, or related infrastructure sectors. Strong knowledge of solar project delivery, construction sequencing, cost control, scheduling, procurement, and risk management is essential. A degree or equivalent professional experience in construction management, engineering, project management, or a related discipline is preferred. You should be highly organised, commercially aware, and confident interpreting technical and contractual information. Excellent communication, negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving skills are required, along with proficiency in project management and estimating software. The ability to manage multiple deadlines, work collaboratively across disciplines, and maintain a strong focus on safety, quality, accuracy, and delivery will be important.
