Senior Project Manager

Solvest – Who we are:: Solvest began operations in the Yukon in 2015, and we have since established ourselves as the standard for renewable energy services in northern and remote regions. We specialize in designing and executing large-scale renewable energy projects including microgrids, independent power projects (IPPs), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and solar PV installations built for the North's unique challenges. Our work is grounded in strong, long-term partnerships with First Nations, where we prioritize collaboration, training, and shared economic opportunities. Our core values are Innovation, Trust, Empowerment, and Tenacity. The Opportunity: Solvest is hiring a Senior Project Manager to own the decisions that make or break our largest and most complex renewable energy projects. Since 2015, Solvest has taken on larger and more complex projects as we push renewable energy into northern and remote regions. Our goal is to be the leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company for microgrids in northern Canada and Alaska: a company based in the North, for the North. As a Senior Project Manager, you own the decisions above the project on our largest, highest-risk work: project strategy and the business case, final calls on scope, trade-offs and go/no-go, cash decisions, and contract negotiation with clients and project owners. How you lead depends on the project. On larger, more complex projects, a Project Manager runs the day to day and you make sure they have the direction, standards, and backing to deliver. On smaller projects, you run the entire show yourself, from schedule and budget to documentation and client progress meetings. Either way, you are the senior voice our clients, owners, and partners deal with when it matters most. This is not a role where someone tells you what to do next. We are looking for someone who has already done this work, makes the call without waiting for direction, and brings leadership decisions and the reasoning behind them, not questions. The Reality of Our Projects Tenacity is one of our core values for a reason. We want to be upfront about what this work demands, because the right person will read this and lean in. Our sites are often northern and remote. Short construction seasons, long travel, and weather that ignores your schedule are part of the job. Miss a window and it can cost the project a season. Equipment arrives late, supply chains break, and site conditions don’t always match the drawings. You replan, re-sequence, and keep the project moving. You will balance utilities, regulators, owners’ engineers, Indigenous partners, and internal teams, each with legitimate priorities that won’t always line up. You will make high-stakes calls with incomplete information, put your name on them, and own the outcome. When a project goes sideways, you don’t escalate and wait. You bring options, make the decision, and push through to the finish. If you need predictable conditions, a project that runs to its original plan, or someone above you making the hard calls, this role isn’t for you. If that list sounds like the job you’ve been looking for, keep reading. Who You Are You’ve delivered large, complex construction projects as the senior decision-maker, and you don’t need direction to do it. You make the final calls on scope, trade-offs, cash, and go/no-go, and you bring leadership your decisions and rationale, not requests for direction. Your calls hold up later. You build trust with executives, owners, utilities, contractors, and Indigenous partners through clear communication and follow-through, and you settle disputes at your level. Your reporting is accurate and forward-looking, so leadership plans from it without having to chase you for it. You make the people around you better. The PMs and coordinators on your projects run tighter projects because of the direction, standards, and feedback you give them. You set the tone for safety, quality, and how Solvest s…
