What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director Project Delivery - Utility Solar position at Koch?
Your Job
DEPCOM Power is seeking a Project Delivery Director who can be trusted to own outcomes in the field and drive disciplined, profitable execution across utility-scale solar and BESS projects.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who spends significant time onsite—working shoulder to shoulder with project teams to strengthen cost control, schedule certainty, and contract compliance while keeping a sharp focus on project forecasting and financial performance.
The ideal leader brings deep EPC self-perform experience, identifies execution and capability gaps at the site level, and closes them through intentional coaching, training, and clear accountability. More than managing construction, this role is about leading execution—ensuring teams have the tools, rigor, and support needed to deliver safe, competitive, and consistently profitable projects.
This role can be based remotely within the U.S. and requires, at minimum, 50% travel to project sites and DEPCOM’s headquarters in Scottsdale, AZ as the business requires.
This role does not provide VISA sponsorship.
