Solar Electrical Superintendent

Samuel Knight Corporation, a specialist recruitment firm based in Dallas, is proud to be partnering with one of the leading construction and electrical contractors in the country in their search for a Solar Electrical Superintendent.

This is a travelling position supporting utility-scale solar projects across the Southeast, starting with a project in the Chesapeake area of Virginia.

We’re looking for someone with strong utility-scale solar experience who is comfortable managing electrical self-perform crews, working to project schedules and having Foremen report directly into them, while also overseeing subcontractors where required. More specifically, we’re looking for someone who can:

• Lead and coordinate electrical self-perform crews across utility-scale solar projects, providing day-to-day direction to Foremen and field personnel.
• Manage electrical installation activities including DC collection, AC systems, MV, underground electrical, terminations and associated balance-of-system work.
• Ensure field activities are being completed safely, efficiently and in line with project drawings, specifications and schedule.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Construction Managers and other Superintendents to plan manpower, equipment and materials around upcoming work.
• Track daily and weekly progress against the construction schedule, identifying potential delays and putting recovery plans in place where required.
• Coordinate and manage electrical subcontractors, ensuring work is completed to the required safety, quality and productivity standards.
• Review drawings, specifications and scopes of work and communicate requirements clearly to Foremen and field teams.
• Coordinate with QA/QC teams to ensure installations meet project specifications and inspection requirements.
• Maintain a strong focus on safety, quality and productivity across all electrical field activities.
• Participate in daily planning meetings, toolbox talks and coordination meetings with other trades and project leadership.
• Identify constructability issues and field challenges early, working with project leadership to resolve them without impacting schedule.
• Support testing, commissioning and project closeout activities as the project progresses toward completion.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience working in an Electrical Superintendent or senior electrical field leadership position on utility-scale solar projects, with a strong understanding of self-perform construction and the ability to effectively lead Foremen and large electrical crews.

This is a travelling role, so candidates must be comfortable travelling throughout the Southeast as projects require.
