Capital Project Manager jobs in Grand Junction, CO

About Wunder

Wunder is building a Modern Energy Company.

We were founded with one simple vision: to address the greatest crisis of our generation by accelerating the deployment of solar energy. In doing so, we help businesses, municipalities, and schools save money by delivering clean on-site power. We convert simple warehouses into electrified industrial platforms built for the future. We enable the nation's leading commercial and industrial real estate firms to capture the benefits of solar across their properties. We align ESG goals with revenue targets, and the renewable energy assets we're deploying today will power America's tomorrow.

Wunder currently holds more than $1 billion in solar assets under management and capital commitments. Our team has evaluated more than 10,000 properties for solar across all 50 states. Our average solar system - about 480 kilowatts in size - can offset 350,000 pounds of coal burned each year of system operation!

The Role

We have an amazing opportunity for an experienced project management professional to join our team to manage the execution of all activities involved throughout the solar development process. Our team is rapidly acquiring commercial customers and developing solar across the country, so we're looking for an exceptional executor who can lead a team in delivering on a subset of our growing pipeline with the highest levels of efficiency and organization.

Specifically, you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of solar development projects against a specific set of goals and outcomes, and ensuring all of the details involved in achieving these targets are completed efficiently and effectively. Your day-to-day will include, but is not limited to, prioritizing solar development project workstreams, leading members of a cross-functional team to complete various activities in the development process, optimizing resource allocation and project timelines, and making decisions to unblock the development of commercial solar projects.

You'll go beyond a traditional project management role as you will also bring standardization into the untapped sub-megawatt commercial and industrial market by leveraging Wunder's industry-leading technology platform.

If you get excited about wrangling details, unlocking the untapped commercial and industrial solar market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you.
