Senior Project Manager
Senior Manager, Project Delivery
Location: Denver, CO
Shape the Future of Renewable Energy - and Help Build What Lasts
Our client is a top-tier renewable energy platform with a national footprint and a long-term ownership mindset. With more than 11 GW of contracted capacity and an active portfolio spanning over 20 states, they are quietly-but powerfully-shaping the clean energy transition.
As they continue to scale responsibly, they are seeking a Senior Manager, Project Delivery to lead the execution of utility-scale renewable energy projects-from late-stage development through financing, construction, and commercial operation.
This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned energy leader who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments and is looking to have a tangible impact on the energy infrastructure that will serve communities for decades.
Why This Role Stands Out
End-to-End Ownership: Unlike transactional developers, this platform owns and operates its projects for the long term. That means greater alignment, less churn, and deeper investment in project quality and stakeholder relationships.
Disciplined Growth at Scale: With gigawatts of capacity already secured and a robust pipeline, the company is expanding strategically-not at breakneck pace, but with intention and staying power.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: You'll work closely with teams across development, legal, engineering, finance, and construction to bring complex projects to life. Your insights and leadership will influence not just project execution-but how the platform evolves.
What You'll Do
Oversee utility-scale renewable energy projects (solar, wind, and storage) from mid/late-stage development through commercial operation
Coordinate project financing and execution, aligning internal teams and external partners
Manage critical contracts and commercial interfaces, including EPC, interconnection, supply, and O&M agreements
Resolve cross-disciplinary challenges-technical, legal, and financial-with a steady hand and strategic mindset
Guide external consultants and stakeholders, including engineering firms, utilities, landowners, permitting bodies, and construction teams
Ensure milestone achievement, risk management, and project integrity across the portfolio
What You Bring
7-15+ years of experience in renewable energy project delivery, development, or construction
A proven track record managing large-scale utility projects through financing and execution
Strong familiarity with project finance structures, grid interconnection, and permitting landscapes
Experience navigating major project agreements (PPA, GIA, EPC, supply contracts)
Executive-level communication and leadership skills-comfortable managing internal alignment and external relationships
A technical degree (engineering or related) is preferred; an MBA or advanced degree is a plus
A deep belief in renewable energy's role in building a better future-and the curiosity and drive to lead it well
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base salary: $160,000 - $210,000
Guaranteed first-year bonus
Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, 401(k) with match, wellness reimbursement, family-building support, charitable giving match, and more
