Job Description

A rapidly growing solar energy firm backed by a portfolio of clean energy and sustainability-focused companies is seeking a hands-on Construction Manager to lead and optimize its solar installation operations. The organization has experienced significant expansion and now requires a seasoned professional to implement structured processes, enhance field performance, and ensure projects are delivered efficiently and to high standards of quality as they transition into larger commercial and utility-scale work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead solar construction projects from planning through completion.
  • Work closely with foremen and field teams to organize schedules, assign tasks, and maintain progress.
  • Establish and implement quality control and root cause analysis processes.
  • Create structure and stability as project scale increases.
  • Support a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and accountability.
  • Help build and train field teams as operations expand.
  • Initially be hands-on in the field, transitioning to more office-based leadership as the team grows.
  • Projects are primarily in the Chicago area , averaging 1 MW (up to 5 MW) , with about 70% field presence and 30% office time.

Ideal Background

  • Experience managing commercial or utility-scale solar projects. Not residential.
  • Strong field leadership — able to “get hands dirty” while setting standards and structure.
  • Knowledge of QA/QC, safety, and root cause analysis.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-growing, less-structured environment.
  • Skilled at mentoring teams and implementing scalable project management systems.
