🏢 About Origis Energy

Origis Energy is a leading renewable energy platform accelerating the transition to carbon-free energy through innovative solar and energy storage solutions. What makes them unique is their 'Reimagining Zero' approach and being recognized as one of the top developers in the U.S. with a strong commitment to five core values including 'Solve for Tomorrow' and 'Rise Together.'

About This Role

As Senior Manager PreConstruction & Planning, you'll lead project planning, scheduling, forecasting, and estimation for utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS) projects. This role is impactful because you'll ensure projects are properly scoped and planned before construction begins, directly contributing to Origis Energy's expansion and net-zero goals through efficient pre-construction development.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves analyzing project schedules and estimates for upcoming utility-scale solar and BESS projects, collaborating with development teams on feasibility assessments, and coordinating with engineering and procurement teams on technical requirements. You'll likely participate in cross-functional meetings to align pre-construction planning with overall project goals while managing remote communications with distributed team members across different time zones.
