The Team
We're a small team of talented people with a mission to provide clean energy from the built environment at scale with simplicity, transparency, and savings.

Come and help us create a new energy asset class from the built environment.
What you'll do
You will manage the full life cycle of distributed energy, for C&I solar + energy storage projects ranging in size from 500kW to 20MW. This means everything from ensuring a grid connection, planning, procurement, installation, and managing operations ensuring each phase of a project is done on time and within budget. Manage the deployment, engineering, procurement, and construction of multiple solar + energy storage projects. Prequalify and work with subcontractors and EPCs to create a network of preferred partners. Work with many internal and external stakeholders to ensure projects have achievable scope and timeline requirements. Coordinate key activities necessary to result in on-time project delivery within budget, including technical design, equipment specification, procurement, and appropriate software control applications. Coordinate with the team to maintain continued alignment with high-level company objectives and workflows. Your ability to execute efficiently, and allocate the right resources, to the right areas, at the right times is critical. In addition, you will be the point of contact for suppliers, vendors, and even authorities.An important part of this role is identifying the clunky parts for the roll-out of new onsite C&I solar generation and communicating that to the product team. With the objective of identifying how we can speed up the process and reduce costs over time.We now have a significant pipeline of onsite C&I solar at various stages, including some that will shortly enter the construction phase. So you will be hitting the ground running and managing to get these sites commercially operational.
Who you are
If you are looking for a life-changing career opportunity where you can grow and bring on your experience and network to make a difference then this is the job for you. So, who you are is of utmost importance. It probably looks like this:
You execute
We're out to earn the trust of our future customers, and we’re doing that by demonstrating the real value in what we build. So, we all need to execute to completion.
You’ll be enthusiastic about solving problems and delivering value in any challenge.
You learn
We don’t have all the answers to everything we need right now, and neither will you. We are continuously learning as we build. That applies throughout the company.
You’ll be comfortable with what you do and don’t know; you'll know how to ask for help and provide help in return. We'll be supportive, and make sure you can be the best at what you do.
You communicate
As a remote-first company, much of our interaction is asynchronous. To fully deliver your ideas, passion, and values you need to be an excellent communicator.
You’re experienced
We are looking for someone that has 5+ years of project management or operational experience in rolling out renewable energy generation. An understanding of power systems, distribution network operators, electrical grid & smart grid concepts. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and push tasks to completion. One main ingredient is the hunger and willingness to get your hands dirty with the details. The ability to manage multiple parallel projects and prioritize competing demands. You must be comfortable with working in ambiguity and have a passion for crafting structure in places where it doesn't yet exist. With a "the buck stops here" mentality and a willingness to walk through walls to make your vision a reality. Having a bias for quantifiable results versus activity, and willingness to hold yourself & others accountable for delivering results. We need Contrarians!
Benefits
Joining a startup this early comes with both risk and reward. For the right person, this opportunity will accelerate your career. You'll collaborate with an experienced team. Your high degree of autonomy and responsibility will give you a place to show how you get things done. As one of the early joiners at InRange, you'll receive very generous equity with a potential life-changing upside.We have a bold vision to go far. This is location specific role but we have a flexible, remote, or office working environment. For this role, we require someone to be based in the UK and have the understanding and experience of the requirements within the UK and Europe.Most importantly to us, you'll be working in a culture you help to build; one that treats others how you want to be treated.
