Solar Project Manager

Our client isn't a startup chasing its first win. They're a Buffalo-based commercial solar installer with nearly three decades in the industry, backed by a parent manufacturing business that has been a cornerstone of the region for over 45 years. They know who they are, they know what they're doing, and they're growing.

This is a rare opportunity to join a company with deep roots, a proven track record, and the momentum of an expanding commercial solar market behind them. If you're a hands-on project manager who takes ownership seriously and wants to build something that lasts, this is worth a conversation.

As Solar Project Manager, you'll be the central hub connecting sales, engineering, installation, and customer teams — the person who keeps everything moving and ensures every project lands the way it should.

This isn't a desk job. You'll be equally comfortable on a job site and in front of a client, reviewing schematics in the morning and coordinating subcontractors in the afternoon. You'll have real autonomy, real accountability, and real impact on the quality of work that goes out the door.

• Performing site surveys and using solar design software (Helioscope preferred) to analyze and optimize system layouts
• Selecting materials and components and building out comprehensive bills of materials for each project
• Coordinating with utilities, municipalities, subcontractors, and installation crews to keep projects on track and on budget
• Reviewing solar energy system drawings and schematics and providing technical support throughout design and installation
• Meeting customers and crews on site, handling commissioning, and ensuring smooth handoffs
• Collaborating with engineering and sales to continuously improve cost efficiency, productivity, and customer satisfaction

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience with commercial solar system installation
• A strong ability to read and interpret solar energy system drawings and schematics
• Excellent communication and coordination skills across multiple stakeholder groups
• A detail‑oriented mindset with solid project management capabilities

• Experience with Helioscope, Aurora, or PVsyst
• A track record managing commercial projects from 50kW to multi‑MW scale
• Familiarity with utility interconnection processes and AHJ permitting
• A 2 or 4‑year technical degree

We're looking for someone who is genuinely motivated by the work, not just looking for a change of scenery. If commercial solar project management is what you do best and you want a stable, well‑established company to do it in, this role is for you.

• $100,000 - $115,000 base salary, based on experience
• Full health insurance coverage
• 401(k) with company matching
• Paid time off
• The stability of a company with decades of history and the energy of a growing team
• Genuine ownership over your projects from day one

This is a full-time, in-person role based in the Buffalo metro area. The role involves regular travel to project sites across the region. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
