Vice President of Engineering & Execution in United

Job Description

I’m partnering with a growing U.S. renewable energy developer to identify a VP of Engineering & Execution to lead engineering and execution across a portfolio of utility-scale solar and BESS projects.

Utility-scale experience is a requirement for this position.

\n

\n

With multiple large-scale projects advancing into construction, this individual will take senior ownership across engineering, EPC strategy, procurement and construction through COD.

\n

\n

This is a hands-on leadership role requiring someone who can operate at the executive level while remaining close to project execution.

\n

\n

Key Responsibilities:

\n

• Lead 100MW+ utility-scale solar and BESS projects from late-stage development/pre-construction through construction and COD

\n

• Own technical decision-making across engineering, design, procurement, constructability and construction

\n

• Review and challenge designs produced by external engineering consultants and EPC partners

\n

• Lead EPC and vendor evaluation, selection and contracting

\n

• Own major equipment strategy across modules, inverters, transformers, racking and BESS systems

\n

• Manage EPC schedules, budgets, risk, change orders and construction execution

\n

• Work cross-functionally with development, finance, commercial and legal teams

\n

\n

Ideal Background:

\n

• 15+ years across engineering, EPC and/or construction

\n

• Significant utility-scale solar and BESS experience required

\n

• Demonstrated ownership of 100MW+ renewable energy projects

\n

• Track record of taking utility-scale projects through construction and COD

\n

• Strong electrical or civil engineering foundation

\n

• Experience managing EPCs, engineering consultants and major equipment suppliers

\n

• Background within a utility-scale IPP/developer or EPC strongly

\n

• Comfortable being hands-on despite the VP-level scope

\n

\n

This position is specifically focused on large-scale renewable energy infrastructure.

\n

\n

Current VPs and Heads of Engineering/EPC are encouraged to reach out, as are strong Directors or Senior Directors who have personally owned large-scale projects through execution.
