Solar Director of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)
We are seeking an experienced Solar Director of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) to lead the successful delivery of utility-scale solar energy projects from early development through commercial operation. This senior leadership role will oversee the integration of engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and project controls, ensuring that projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the required technical and quality standards.
The successful candidate will establish and manage EPC strategies, standards, processes, and performance metrics across a portfolio of solar projects. Responsibilities include leading multidisciplinary engineering teams; overseeing detailed design, equipment selection, technical specifications, and value engineering; managing procurement activities and supplier relationships; and directing construction contractors, consultants, and commissioning partners. You will review contracts, scopes of work, schedules, budgets, risk registers, and change orders, while identifying and resolving technical, commercial, and execution issues. The role will also involve supporting project origination and development, evaluating site and technology considerations, contributing to financial models and investment decisions, and ensuring compliance with applicable codes, regulations, permitting requirements, and environmental, health, and safety standards.
Applicants should have significant experience delivering utility-scale solar photovoltaic projects, ideally including battery storage or other renewable energy technologies, with a strong understanding of EPC contracting, project finance requirements, grid interconnection, and construction management. A degree in engineering, construction management, or a related discipline is required; professional registration or equivalent credentials are advantageous. The ideal candidate combines strategic leadership with practical problem-solving skills, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to communicate effectively with executives, investors, lenders, contractors, utilities, regulators, and community stakeholders. Experience managing geographically dispersed teams and multiple concurrent projects is highly desirable.
