Mechanical Superintendent - Utility-Scale Renewable Energy Construction
Job Description:
$130,000-$140,000/year, flexible for the right candidate, plus $120/day per diem
Alamogordo, New Mexico
The Opportunity
CJR Renewables is building a ground-floor path for a Mechanical Superintendent: start at the Houston, TX office, then relocate to lead mechanical construction on a utility-scale renewable energy project site in Alamogordo, New Mexico. You'll supervise field crews and subcontractors, coordinate with Safety, QA/QC, Project Controls, and Logistics, and report directly to the General Superintendent/Construction Manager on the mechanical scope of the build.
Why You'll Love This Role
You'll own the mechanical scope on a utility-scale solar or BESS build, not just execute someone else's plan. Compensation is budgeted at $130,000-$140,000 per year and flexible for the right fit, with candidates at the higher end welcome to apply. CJR covers $120/day per diem, seven days a week except during rotation, and pays for rotation travel directly. Relocation is paid, and once you're on-site in Alamogordo, you'll have a company truck for work-related use.
Your Day-to-Day
- Supervise and direct field crews and subcontractors on the mechanical scope
- Coordinate daily with Safety, QA/QC, Project Controls, and Logistics
- Read plans and interpret specifications to make real-time operational calls
- Ensure work is performed safely and in accordance with OSHA requirements
- Keep the mechanical scope on budget and on schedule
- Report progress and issues to the General Superintendent/Construction Manager daily
What We're Looking For
- 5-7 years of field supervisory experience in utility-scale renewable energy construction; solar or BESS experience preferred
- OSHA 30 required (OSHA 10 acceptable for onboarding, with OSHA 30 to follow)
- Strong leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills
- Ability to read plans and interpret specifications to guide field decisions
- Experience with Procore or similar construction management platforms preferred
- Willingness to travel and relocate temporarily to project sites, up to 80-100%
- U.S. work authorization required; sponsorship is not available
Why Candidates Say Yes
- Ground-floor role with a clear track from Houston HQ into hands-on field leadership
- Flexible salary for the right background, including higher-range candidates
- Full per diem coverage, paid rotation travel, and paid relocation
- Company truck provided once on-site in Alamogordo
- Direct ownership of the mechanical scope on a utility-scale build
