Project Manager, Solar Construction SunGrid Power | Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (Hybrid) | Full-Time About SunGrid Power SunGrid Power is a vertically integrated solar developer, self-perform EPC, and owner/operator based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Since 2018 we have developed and constructed more than 700 MW across 70+ facilities ranging from 1 MW to 120+ MW. We build both distributed generation ("local") solar projects and utility-scale projects, partnering with landowners, cooperatives, municipal utilities, and commercial customers across Texas and beyond. Our model gives construction teams real ownership—we self-perform significant scopes and control the full process from development through operations. Ranked among the top solar contractors in the U.S., we focus on safe, high-quality delivery and long-term community relationships. Position Summary SunGrid is seeking a Solar Construction Project Manager to fully own the delivery of distributed generation projects (primarily 1-25 MW local solar) while supporting larger utility-scale (50 MW+) projects from pre-construction through commissioning and turnover. This is a hands-on role that combines field leadership, schedule and budget ownership, subcontractor management, and client/landowner interaction. You will work closely with our internal teams, subcontractors, utilities, and stakeholders to deliver projects safely, on time, and to specification.
