• EV charging infrastructure (chargers, switchgear, panel upgrades, utility interconnection, load management systems)
• Ensure compliance with NEC, IEEE, utility interconnection standards, and AHJ requirements.
• Support load studies, site assessments, energy modeling, and system optimization.
• Lead value engineering, constructability reviews, and design optimization efforts.

Procurement & Supply Chain Management

• Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans for PV equipment and EV charging hardware.
• Manage procurement of modules, inverters, EV chargers, transformers, switchgear, and BOS components.
• Lead RFP/RFQ processes, bid evaluations, contract negotiations, and vendor selection.
• Build and maintain relationships with OEMs, EPC subcontractors, and charging network providers.
• Monitor supplier performance, logistics, lead times, and supply chain risk mitigation.

Construction & Field Operations

• Oversee site construction activities, including civil work, electrical installation, and system integration.
• Manage installation of:
• Piles, racking, PV modules
• Underground/overhead electrical systems
• EV charging stations, conduit runs, trenching, and electrical upgrades
• Lead subcontractor coordination, field teams, and daily site operations.
• Conduct site inspections, progress tracking, and issue resolution.
• Oversee commissioning, testing, energization, and punch list completion.

EV Infrastructure (Commercial Focus)

• Manage deployment of fleet, workplace, and public EV charging projects.
• Coordinate with utilities on service upgrades, load capacity, and demand charges.
• Implement networked charging solutions, software platforms, and payment systems.
• Ensure compliance with ADA requirements, permitting, and local/state incentive programs.
• Support integration with renewable energy systems and energy storage (BESS) where applicable.

Stakeholder & Client Management

• Act as primary point of contact for clients, utilities, AHJs, and internal stakeholders.
