Renewable Project Management and Construction Director

Day-to-day, the role moves across active development and construction projects, contractor and EPC relationships, schedule and budget management, and the senior conversations with the operating, finance, and strategy teams that share the assets you build. You're reviewing project schedules and budgets, working through construction issues, engaging with major contractors and the utilities or offtakers, and being the senior construction voice when significant project questions surface.

A common surprise is how much of the work is contractor and supply chain management. Many find that renewable construction lives or dies on EPC selection, contract structure, and the steady management of a global supply chain for panels, turbines, transformers, and inverters. Interconnection schedules, commissioning, and the handoff to operations add their own predictable but tightly choreographed cadences.

People who carry deep renewable construction experience and operational discipline tend to thrive. The role often suits those who can hold financial discipline alongside the technical and contractual rigor complex projects require, and who can sustain attention across multi-year timelines. The cost is typically the travel, the pressure of sunk capital and long timelines, and the cumulative weight of being the named owner of safety and execution on heavy infrastructure.
