- EV charging infrastructure (chargers, switchgear, panel upgrades, utility interconnection, load management systems)
- Ensure compliance with NEC, IEEE, utility interconnection standards, and AHJ requirements.
- Support load studies, site assessments, energy modeling, and system optimization.
- Lead value engineering, constructability reviews, and design optimization efforts.
Procurement & Supply Chain Management
- Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans for PV equipment and EV charging hardware.
- Manage procurement of modules, inverters, EV chargers, transformers, switchgear, and BOS components.
- Lead RFP/RFQ processes, bid evaluations, contract negotiations, and vendor selection.
- Build and maintain relationships with OEMs, EPC subcontractors, and charging network providers.
- Monitor supplier performance, logistics, lead times, and supply chain risk mitigation.
Construction & Field Operations
- Oversee site construction activities, including civil work, electrical installation, and system integration.
- Manage installation of:
- Piles, racking, PV modules
- Underground/overhead electrical systems
- EV charging stations, conduit runs, trenching, and electrical upgrades
- Lead subcontractor coordination, field teams, and daily site operations.
- Conduct site inspections, progress tracking, and issue resolution.
- Oversee commissioning, testing, energization, and punch list completion.
EV Infrastructure (Commercial Focus)
- Manage deployment of fleet, workplace, and public EV charging projects.
- Coordinate with utilities on service upgrades, load capacity, and demand charges.
- Implement networked charging solutions, software platforms, and payment systems.
- Ensure compliance with ADA requirements, permitting, and local/state incentive programs.
- Support integration with renewable energy systems and energy storage (BESS) where applicable.
Stakeholder & Client Management
- Act as primary point of contact for clients, utilities, AHJs, and internal stakeholders.
- Provide executive-level reporting on schedule, cost, risk, and performance KPIs.
- Manage cross-functional coordination with development, finance, legal, and O&M teams.
- Lead project meetings, progress reviews, and client presentations.
Leadership & Operational Excellence
