Job Description

Project Overview, deliverables (what is this person responsible for).

The Construction Supervisor II role is centered around a 78 MW solar farm project located in Hobbs, New Mexico. This position is primarily responsible for high voltage commissioning inspection within the substation, ensuring the proper integration of solar-generated electricity into the grid. The role is entirely field based, requiring the candidate to be onsite full-time, with work hours typically starting between 6:45 and 7:00 AM and ending around 5:00 PM. The position may also involve occasional support for another solar farm in Earth, Texas, accounting for approximately 5-10% of the time. The expected workload ranges from 50 to 60 hours per week, with some Saturday work possible. The candidate will be provided with a site vehicle for travel between the field and office trailers.

What does a typical day look like?

On a typical day, Construction Supervisor II will begin with a planning meeting and then proceed to the field to monitor the installation of substations and transformers, conduct inspections, and communicate progress with the project team. The role does not involve budgeting responsibilities, as those are handled by the superintendent. The candidate will work closely with contractors and subcontractors, as well as with the onsite construction manager, two other inspectors, and the regional superintendent. The role will involve regular interaction with them and external vendors.

What are the top 3-5 skills and qualifications (technology/application/software, etc.) required?

The top skills and qualifications required for the Construction Supervisor II position include a strong foundation in high voltage electrical systems, with five to seven years of hands-on experience being essential. While a formal degree is not required, candidates with commensurate field experienceparticularly those who have completed an apprenticeship or hold a journeyman electrician licenseare highly preferred. Commissioning experience, especially in solar or wind energy projects, is considered an asset, though not mandatory.

Familiarity with the hazards associated with high voltage environments is critical, as the role involves working in potentially dangerous field conditions.

Additionally, a valid driver's license is required, as the position includes travel between field sites using company-provided vehicles.

Overall, the ideal candidate is someone with a solid, consistent work history, practical field expertise, and a readiness to commit to the full duration of the project, which is expected to span three to five years
