TAR•Austin, TX

14d•Hybrid

About The Position

As Project Manager, you own day-to-day execution of our utility-scale renewable energy projects, keeping the assigned project on target schedule and budget from initial planning through commissioning. Because TAR runs an owner-led, EPCM-as-agent delivery model, you administer EPC contracts and coordinate suppliers, engineers, and field crews directly rather than reviewing a contractor’s work from a distance. This is a role for an experienced project manager, based in Austin with regular time at the project site in West Texas.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in project management roles.
Project management experience on utility-scale solar+PV projects.
Proficiency in Microsoft Project or Primavera P6.
Experience administering EPC contracts, including scope, change orders, and contractor performance management.
Strong understanding of schedule analysis and project baselines.
Sound judgment with a bias toward action, comfortable making high-consequence decisions with incomplete information on a compressed schedule.

Nice To Haves

Experience delivering multi-generation source medium-large scale microgrids.
Experience on multi-hundred-megawatt projects.
Owner-side experience at a developer or IPP.

Responsibilities

Build the project schedule, maintain it as the single source of truth from initial planning through commissioning, and drive engineering, procurement, and construction workstreams to hold the critical path.
Control project costs by tracking budgets and forecasts, managing change orders, and surfacing variances early enough for the team to act on them.
Administer EPC contracts directly under our owner-led delivery model, holding contractors accountable to scope, schedule, and quality.
Coordinate supply chain, engineering, commissioning, and field resources, and identify potential gaps before they arise.
Manage scope creep, negotiate change orders,
Identify project risks, build mitigation plans, and drive them to closure with the owners of the underlying work.
