Description

The EPC Construction Manager oversees the safe, on‑time, and on‑budget execution of utility‑scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects under Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts. Acting as the primary field representative of the EPC contractor, this role coordinates on‑site construction activities, subcontractors, and field teams while ensuring compliance with project specifications, quality standards, safety regulations, and contractual requirements. The manager works closely with engineering, procurement, project management, quality, and safety departments.

Key responsibilities include leading all construction phases from mobilization through mechanical completion and turnover, managing daily field operations, schedule and cost control, and overseeing subcontractor performance. The manager champions a strong safety culture, drives quality assurance, coordinates inspections and testing, and maintains clear communication with owners, inspectors, utilities, authorities having jurisdiction, and other stakeholders. Additional duties involve supporting change management, material logistics, and commissioning activities to ensure successful project closeout.

• Lead on‑site construction for utility‑scale solar PV projects (5 MW–500 MW+), from mobilization to turnover.
• Direct daily field operations, sequencing, workforce planning, and schedule adherence.
• Serve as the EPC field authority, resolve issues, and coordinate with owners, inspectors, utilities, and authorities having jurisdiction.
• Manage schedule and cost control, identify risks, track productivity and earned value, and support change management.
• Supervise subcontractors (civil, pile driving, racking, electrical, commissioning) ensuring contract compliance and performance.
• Coordinate material deliveries, equipment staging, and logistics with procurement teams.
• Champion safety compliance with OSHA and EPC policies; lead job hazard analyses, toolbox talks, and incident investigations.
• Enforce quality assurance, conduct inspections, testing, audits, and oversee punch‑list resolution and project closeout.
• Collaborate with engineering to resolve RFIs and constructability issues; communicate progress, risks, and forecasts to project management and clients.
• Support commissioning, energization, and turnover of systems to owners.
