How to apply for Project Manager, PV/BESS

About Enlight Renewable Energy

Clēnera is the U.S. subsidiary of Enlight Renewable Energy (Nasdaq: ENLT) and a tier-one developer, owner, and operator of utility-scale solar and storage. It has over 1.9 GW of solar and 5.1 GWh of storage in operations or construction, plus a pipeline of 17.8 GW solar and 51.1 GWh storage across 23 states. S&P Global ranked it a top ten U.S. owner of planned installations in its 2025 analysis.

About the role

This project manager role owns 2-4 complex utility-scale PV and BESS construction projects from execution readiness through commissioning and turnover. You act as the primary owner representative for schedule, budget, change control, and cross-functional accountability. The work directly affects whether Clēnera hits its contracted delivery dates and compliance requirements.

A typical day

A typical day likely involves reviewing schedule and budget status across 2-4 projects, running or joining cross-functional calls with engineering, procurement, and construction partners, and resolving change control or compliance issues. You would also review drawings and scope documents, track commissioning and turnover milestones, and escalate risks to internal stakeholders. Exact routines depend on project phase, so ask in the interview how the team splits time between office work and site visits.

Who Enlight Renewable Energy is looking for

• Has independently managed multiple utility-scale solar or battery storage construction projects, not just supported them.
• Can set execution strategy, validate scope and drawings, and proactively manage schedule and budget risks.
• Has served as owner's representative or equivalent, driving accountability across engineering, procurement, construction, and external partners.
• Knows change control, contractual compliance, and the commissioning and turnover process for PV/BESS facilities.

Tips for this application

• Name specific PV or BESS projects you owned end-to-end, including MW/GWh size, contract type, and your exact role.
• Quantify schedule and budget outcomes: baseline vs. actual dates, change order volume, cost variance you caught or prevented.
• Reference Clēnera's numbers from the posting (1.9 GW solar, 5.1 GWh storage, 17.8 GW pipeline) to show you read the details, not just the title.
• State your experience as owner's representative or with owner-side delivery, since the role is explicitly owner-side.
• Note your remote-work setup and willingness to travel to construction sites, since the role is remote but project-based.

What to cover in your cover letter

Explain how you have independently led 2-4 complex construction projects at once and what that looked like in practice. Describe a specific schedule or budget risk you identified early and how you managed it. Show you understand owner-side change control and commissioning/turnover, not just contractor-side construction. Connect your experience to utility-scale solar and storage specifically, and mention why Clēnera's pipeline scale matters to you.

Research before applying

• Read Clēnera's and Enlight Renewable Energy's recent project announcements, especially any PV or BESS projects in construction or operations.
• Review Enlight's Nasdaq (ENLT) investor materials for pipeline, backlog, and project delivery commentary.
• Look up the S&P Global 2025 solar independent power producer analysis referenced in the posting to understand Clēnera's ranking context.
• Check what states Clēnera operates in and whether you have project experience in those markets or with their interconnection and permitting environments.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• Walk through a PV or BESS project you owned from execution readiness to turnover, including scope validation and drawing review.
• How do you proactively manage schedule and budget risk across 2-4 concurrent projects? Give a concrete example.
• Describe a time you drove cross-functional accountability when a partner missed a contractual or compliance requirement.
• How do you run change control as the owner's representative, and how do you handle disputed change orders?
• What does successful commissioning and turnover look like on a utility-scale solar or storage project, and what is your role in it?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Listing projects you only supported or observed rather than independently led, since the role requires owning 2-4 projects.
• Using generic project management language without naming specific PV/BESS scope, MW/GWh, or contract structures.
• Ignoring the owner-side framing and describing only contractor or EPC-side experience without translating it to owner representation.
