Remote Electrical Project Manager – US-Based Remote Opportunity – Lead High-Impact Energy Projects from Anywhere

We are seeking a seasoned Electrical Project Manager to drive complex power‑distribution and renewable‑energy projects from concept to commissioning—all while working 100 % remotely. This role offers the autonomy to manage multi‑disciplinary teams, coordinate with utilities, and deliver projects that shape the future of clean energy across the United States.

About the Role

As a Remote Electrical Project Manager, you will own the full project lifecycle for high‑voltage substations, solar farms, wind‑farm interconnections, and grid‑modernization initiatives. You’ll collaborate with engineering leads, procurement specialists, and field construction crews to ensure schedules, budgets, and quality standards are met without ever stepping into a physical office. Your expertise in NEC compliance, protective relaying, and utility interconnection agreements will be the backbone of every successful delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, critical‑path schedules, and risk registers for projects ranging from $5 M to $150 M.
• Lead cross‑functional teams—including electrical engineers, CAD designers, and construction managers—through design reviews, permitting, and construction phases.
• Negotiate contracts with EPC contractors, vendors, and utility partners; manage change orders and claim resolution.
• Ensure all designs meet NEC, IEEE, and local utility standards; oversee protective‑relay coordination studies and short‑circuit analyses.
• Provide weekly executive dashboards and monthly stakeholder presentations on cost, schedule, and technical performance.

Requirements

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (PE license preferred).
• PMP or equivalent project‑management certification.

Experience

• Minimum 8 years managing utility‑scale electrical projects, with at least 4 years in a lead PM capacity.
• Proven track record delivering projects on time and within budget in remote or distributed team environments.
• Deep knowledge of substation design, renewable‑energy interconnection, and SCADA integration.

Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency with Primavera P6, MS Project, and Procore.
• Strong command of ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or EasyPower for system studies.
• Familiarity with FERC, NERC CIP, and state‑level regulatory frameworks.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing battery‑storage or microgrid projects.
• Background in agile project‑management methodologies applied to engineering delivery.
• Published technical papers or active participation in IEEE/PES committees.

Salary Range

Estimated compensation: $115,000 – $150,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience, certifications, and project complexity. This range reflects current market data for senior remote electrical project managers in the United States.

Benefits & Perks

• Fully remote work environment with a generous home‑office stipend ($2,500 annually).
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans plus HSA employer contribution.
• 401(k) match up to 5 % and profit‑sharing bonus tied to project milestones.
• Unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and a dedicated professional‑development budget ($3,000/year).
• Annual team‑building retreat (travel covered) to foster culture across the distributed workforce.

Company Culture

Our organization is built on transparency, engineering excellence, and a shared commitment to decarbonizing the grid. We operate as a flat, trust‑based team where every voice matters—whether you’re presenting a risk mitigation plan or suggesting a new collaboration tool. Continuous learning is encouraged through internal “Tech Talks,” mentorship pairings, and access to industry conferences.

How to Succeed in This Role

Success hinges on proactive communication, data‑driven decision making, and the ability to translate complex electrical concepts into clear action items for non‑technical stakeholders. You’ll thrive if you enjoy owning outcomes, mentoring junior engineers, and navigating the evolving landscape of renewable‑energy regulation—all from the comfort of your chosen workspace.
