New Opportunity with a Global Logistics Real Estate Client Expanding Its Energy Team

Our client is hiring an Energy Project Manager to support a growing portfolio of commercial rooftop solar and battery energy storage (BESS) projects across Northern California and the Western U.S.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage design, engineering, construction, and commissioning of multi‑site solar & BESS projects
• Oversee EPC partners, coordinating schedules, scope, and budgets
• Track progress against monthly and quarterly milestones
• Lead customer‑facing meetings with Fortune 100 tenants, utilities, and internal real estate teams
• Coordinate utility interconnection (PG&E experience a strong plus)
• Support Sales & Development with scope reviews, risk assessments, and value engineering
• Ensure smooth project close‑out and handoff to Asset Management
• Drive process improvements and best practices across project portfolios
