    🌞 About Buffalo Solar

    At Buffalo Solar, we’re more than just a solar company — we’re a close-knit team on a mission to power 1,000 businesses in the Northeast over the next 10 years.

    We specialize in high-quality commercial solar installations and take pride in doing things the right way — every time. As a Gold Quality Installer for NYSERDA, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in the industry, and we believe our people are the key to our continued success.

    We’re building something meaningful — and we’re looking for people who want to grow with us.

    🏗️ About the Role

    We’re looking for a hands-on Solar Construction Project Manager who wants to grow and take ownership of multiple projects—from early development through installation and closeout.

    This role will work directly with our Director of Construction and be a vital link between our office teams and the field crews. You’ll coordinate with subcontractors, solve problems in real-time, and ensure every project meets our strict NYSERDA quality standards.

    If you’re organized, proactive, and ready to lead projects with a team that values ambition, respect, and continuous learning—this is the role for you.

    🎯 What You’ll Do

    Partner closely with the Director of Construction to fully understand project scope and execution plans

    Act as the go-to person for subcontractors, answering questions and troubleshooting on the fly

    Perform daily check-ins with crews to maintain momentum and quality control

    Ensure our NYSERDA Gold Quality Installer standards are met through consistent field oversight

    Manage several projects simultaneously, keeping everyone aligned on timelines and expectations

    Communicate transparently across departments to make sure nothing falls through the cracks

    This is a hybrid role based out of our office in Depew NY with regular travel to job sites for inspections, subcontractor coordination, and quality control. Occasional overnight travel may be required depending on project locations.

    âś… Who You Are

    Someone with 2+ years in construction or solar project management, ideally with commercial solar experience

    A natural problem solver who can stay calm under pressure and keep projects on track

    Highly organized and detail-oriented—you know what’s happening on every site at all times

    A clear and respectful communicator who works well with subcontractors and teammates alike

    Eager to learn and grow your skills, with a strong desire to take on more responsibility over time

    Aligned with our core values: Ambition, Knowledge, Willingness to Learn, Teamwork, and Respect

    🌟 Why You’ll Love Working Here

    Work directly with leadership. You won’t be lost in the shuffle — you’ll collaborate every day with the Director of Construction and other senior team members.

    A culture that cares. We’re committed to fostering a respectful, supportive environment where your growth is encouraged and your voice is heard.

    Clear path to growth. Many of our team members started in roles like this and have moved into senior leadership, engineering, and beyond.

    Be part of something bigger. Every project you manage helps push the world toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
