Construction Manager - Electrical (PV)

Job Summary The Construction Manager Solar PV is responsible for leading all on-site construction activities for utility-scale Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power plants from ground-breaking through mechanical completion and commissioning. This role ensures that structural racking, tracker systems, PV modules, DC/AC cabling, central/string inverters, and substation infrastructure are executed on time, within budget, and in strict compliance with engineering drawings, safety standards, and local utility regulations. Key Responsibilities Direct all daily on-site construction activities, including civil works (grading, access roads, piling), mechanical assembly (trackers, structures, module mounting), and electrical works (DC combiners, AC collection systems, inverter stations). Manage on-site infrastructure layout, including material staging areas, temporary facilities, and logistics for millions of fragile components (modules, tracking units). Resolve technical field issues, requests for information (RFIs), and design discrepancies promptly to eliminate site delays. Oversee pile load testing (tension, compression, lateral) and torque validation programs for structural tracker mechanisms. Prepare comprehensive daily, weekly, and monthly construction progress reports outlining actual vs. planned curves (S-curves), workforce histograms, and look-ahead plans.
