Role Description

As a Project Manager, Solar Construction on Intersect's Construction Team, you'll lead the execution of utility-scale solar facilities exceeding 300 MW from pre-construction through commissioning and substantial completion.

You'll partner closely with Development, Finance, Engineering, Procurement, Legal, and Operations as well as EPC contractors, utilities, and Owner's Engineers to deliver safe, high-quality power infrastructure on time and on budget. By combining rigorous project controls with modern platforms like Terabase and AI Clearing, you'll drive predictable execution and build assets that create long-run value.

  • Lead weekly and monthly budget reviews and reporting, including cash flow forecasts, actuals, accruals, invoice validation, and lien waiver reviews to maintain strict alignment with approved targets.
