Essential Duties And Responsibilities
- The Master Plan: Develop and manage Level 3 Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) for utility-scale solar projects (typically [50MW - 600MW ]).
- Supply Chain Synchronization: Meticulously track long-lead procurement items, including Transformers (GSU), Inverters, Trackers, and PV Modules, ensuring delivery dates align with site mobilization and installation tasks.
- Interconnection Management: Integrate and manage interconnection milestones (backfeed & sync) all subsequent commissioning tasks through Substantial Completion.
- Earned Value: Update and track daily/weekly production rates for civil work (trenching, grading), structural work (piles, racking), and electrical work (DC stringing, MV terminations).
- Weather & Risk Modeling: Manage risks and change management issues against weather-sensitive phases (e.g., civil works during "rainy season") and supply chain "force majeure" events.
- Change Management: Lead the Time Impact Analysis (TIA) for change orders, whether they stem from unforeseen subsurface conditions or AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) permit delays.
- The Solar Expert: You have 6-10 of scheduling experience, with at least 2 years specifically in Solar PV or Wind. You understand the difference between Mechanical Completion and Substantial Completion in an EPC context.
- Software Native: Mastery of Primavera P6 is mandatory. Experience with TAKT Planning (Lean-based construction scheduling method) is a major advantage.
- Logistics Specialist: You know that there is a two-week delay in piling driving which ripples through the entire electrical schedule, and you know how to re-sequence to save the COD.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Civil/Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Communication: You can sit with a Site Superintendent in a Team’s call and an Executive in a boardroom, translating schedule logic into actionable reality for both.
