Your Job

As a Pre-Construction Manager at DEPCOM Power, you will play a pivotal role in driving value creation through ownership of the pre-construction process. You will maximize project outcomes by ensuring clear transitions between phases, equipping Project Delivery teams with reproducible tools and playbooks, and closing feedback loops so knowledge is captured and reused. You will assist in development and deployment of Project Execution Plans, dashboards, and templates that increase predictability, reduce risk, and accelerate mobilization — creating measurable improvements across cost, schedule, and quality.

This position will be located in Scottsdale, AZ or Remote (U.S. only).

This position is not eligible for VISA sponsorship.



Our Team

Join DEPCOM Power, a leader in renewable energy solutions specializing in utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across the United States. We are a project-centric organization that values innovation, operational rigor, and sustainability. You’ll work with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-performance energy projects that drive long-term value.



What You Will Do

  • Phase coordination and accountability: Lead phase handoffs and own stage-gate process quality across the full project lifecycle to ensure continuity and accountability.
  • Project readiness and mobilization: Produce and validate Project Execution Plans (PEPs) and mobilization deliverables (budget fidelity, construction schedule, procurement sequencing, major subcontract scopes, site logistics, and risk register).
  • Tools and process development: Build and roll out playbooks, checklists, templates, and automated dashboards (PowerBI) used across projects to improve predictability and decision-making.
  • Analytics and reporting: Develop metrics and dashboards that track pre-construction KPIs (estimate variance, time-to-mobilization, stage-gate compliance, key risk indicators) and present actionable insights to leadership.
  • Continuous improvement and lessons learned: Capture and institutionalize lessons learned, lead root-cause reviews for early-project issues, and run pilots to test process or tool improvements.
  • Commercial and constructability input: Provide execution-focused input to commercial terms, contract allowances, contingency strategy, and subcontractor/supplier sequencing to reduce execution risk.
  • Stakeholder influence: Facilitate cross-functional decision-making, clearly document decisions and action owners, and escalate risks when resolution is required.


Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

  • Experience in pre-construction, estimating, project engineering, or project planning for medium-to-large construction projects (utility-scale renewables experience strongly preferred)
  • Demonstrated experience with stage-gate frameworks and developing Project Execution Plans
  • Proven ability to translate commercial and technical inputs into executable plans

What Will Put You Ahead (Preferred Qualifications)


  • Field experience on utility-scale solar and/or energy storage projects (construction or commissioning exposure preferred)
  • Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline; PMP or equivalent certification
  • Hands-on experience with Primavera P6, MS Project, Procore (or similar construction management platforms)
  • Implementing process improvements or tools adopted across multiple projects.
  • Experience managing multiple projects concurrently (typical project sizes ~50–300 MW)
  • Willing to travel up to 20–30% for site visits and supplier/partner meetings
