Solar Project Manager (Remote in San Jose)

San Jose, CA

Solar Project Manager (Regional Asset Manager)

About you:
You know your way around a solar site. Journeyman or lead tech experience, then a few years of project management. You’ve turned a wrench, traced a ground fault in the field, and you don’t need a refresher on torque settings; you’ve lived them. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you’ve got enough field time to know when something looks wrong and enough Project Management chops to get it fixed. You’re not shy about holding contractors accountable, and you know how to keep things professional even when the work (or the invoice) doesn’t add up. You don’t disappear on people. You pick up the phone when a customer calls. You write clear emails. You close the loop. You hustle.

Most importantly, you want a role where your work directly impacts production, safety, and performance across a big portfolio of sites with a team that’s got your back.

About us:
We’re one of the fastest-growing solar asset owners in the U.S. We manage hundreds of C&I (Commercial and Industrial) solar sites nationwide, and we believe the folks in the weeds deserve the same respect as the folks in the boardroom. We’re serious about long-term operations, performance, and safety, and we need people who are just as serious.

 

We’re expanding our team and looking for a Regional Asset Manager to own 100-150 sites, solve problems fast, and be a reliable point of contact for vendors, customers, and tenants. You won’t be alone in this. You’ll work closely with:

  • A monitoring team that flags underperformance.
  • Regional O&M providers (already under contract) that you’ll manage, escalate, or substitute if needed.
  • Our Senior Project Manager of Asset Management (40+ years in the field) for complex situations.
  • A full in-house engineering team (civil, structural, electrical) from our construction arm.
  • External consultants when specialized root cause or redesign is required.

Your job is to keep the system moving, get issues resolved quickly, hold contractors accountable, and coordinate the right resources.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own full-scope asset management for 100-150 commercial solar sites
  • Achieve 100% controllable Weather-Adjusted Production. Solve issues fast, hold vendors accountable
  • Maintain site safety and prevent thermal events. OSHA/NFPA70E standards are second nature to you
  • Keep maintenance spend under budget
  • Visit 10% of your sites each year and walk 5% of incoming sites. Eyes on the ground matters
  • Oversee 3–5 major site remediations each year, start to finish
  • Be a friendly, reliable POC for tenants and site contacts. Answer the phone when things go wrong
  • Maintain and update provider lists for O&M, MV, landscaping, etc.
  • Review preventative maintenance reports and interpret contractor quality and thoroughness
  • Track and maintain warranties, spares, and site history (with analyst support)
  • Approve invoices and upload clean data into Salesforce
  • Be on-call for emergencies (we rotate coverage)

What You Bring:

  • Journeyman-level field experience with C&I (Commercial & Industrial) solar systems (hands-on, not just desk work)
  • 2+ years managing solar projects or O&M contracts
  • Ability to read a 3-line electrical diagram and interpret spec sheets
  • Familiarity with solar testing (thermals, megger, IR, ground faults, inverter troubleshooting)
  • Strong understanding of site safety: OSHA 10/30, NFPA70E
  • Ability to review contractor reports and spot BS
  • Vendor management skills. You can push back on underperformers and pivot to alternates when needed
  • Clear communication and organization. You close loops and keep people informed
  • Comfort with Outlook, Word, Excel, Salesforce, Zoom, Teams, Slack
  • 5+ years of professional experience
  • Willingness to travel, walk sites, and get your hands dirty in a fast-moving, scaling environment (approx. 1.5 days per week)

Compensation & Perks:

  • Competitive base salary + bonus opportunity
  • Full healthcare, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with match
  • PTO and paid family leave
  • Take-home vehicle (depending on region)
  • Education reimbursement for relevant coursework or certifications
  • Strong culture of respect, performance, and personal growth
$125,000 - $155,000 a year
The actual salary offered may vary depending on job-related factors including, but not limited to knowledge, skills, experience and location.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
