  • Proactively identify and resolve technical, operational, and regulatory challenges before they affect project outcomes
  • Maintain thorough, accurate project documentation and deliver consistent reporting to internal leadership
  • Ensure all projects meet applicable safety, quality, and regulatory compliance standards throughout execution
  • 7+ years of experience in project management within solar, renewable energy, or electrical construction
  • Direct experience managing commercial and industrial solar or energy projects required — residential-only backgrounds will not be considered
  • Strong working knowledge of LADWP, SCE, and utility interconnection processes and requirements
  • Proven ability to manage complex projects end-to-end with minimal oversight and full accountability
  • Hands-on experience with permitting, inspections, and utility coordination across California jurisdictions
