How to Apply for Project Manager

at Renewable Properties

🏢 About Renewable Properties

Renewable Properties is a mission-driven company focused on accelerating community-based solar energy through innovative, sustainable projects nationwide. Their emphasis on EV fleet charging, solar, and energy storage sets them apart as a leader in the clean energy transition. Working here means contributing to tangible environmental impact while being part of a remote-first, collaborative team.

About This Role

As a Project Manager, you will oversee the entire lifecycle of renewable energy projects—from late-stage development through construction to commercial operation. You'll lead RFP processes, negotiate contracts, and manage budgets and schedules, directly ensuring projects are delivered on time and on budget. This role is critical to scaling Renewable Properties' portfolio and advancing community solar adoption.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up meeting with the construction team to review progress on a solar-plus-storage site, followed by negotiating a contract with an EPC vendor. After lunch, you'll review cost estimates for a new EV charging project and update the finance team on budget variances, then wrap up by preparing an investor update on project milestones.
