Build and Deliver Wind Projects That Matter
Zephyr Wind Services is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the planning and execution of utility-scale wind energy projects, with a focus on repower and major component work.
This is a hands-on project management role for someone who understands what it takes to successfully execute work in the field. You’ll be responsible for bringing together the critical pieces of a project—including cranes, field labor, tooling, parts and materials, schedules, budgets, vendors, and customer expectations—to keep projects moving safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
This position is remote with approximately 30–40% travel to project sites and other business locations.
What You’ll Do
• Develop and manage comprehensive project plans, schedules, budgets, resources, and key milestones from initial planning through project closeout.
• Coordinate crane activities and site logistics, including mobilization requirements, scheduling dependencies, and execution needs.
• Plan and coordinate field labor and crew resources to ensure appropriate manpower and site coverage throughout project execution.
• Ensure required tooling, specialty equipment, parts, materials, and other resources are identified, available, and delivered when needed.
• Coordinate with procurement, vendors, customers, field leadership, and internal teams to support successful project execution.
• Track project costs, labor hours, forecasts, change impacts, and overall financial performance.
• Identify project risks and proactively resolve issues that could affect safety, schedule, cost, quality, or customer commitments.
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with customers and internal stakeholders regarding project status, risks, challenges, and next steps.
• Promote Zephyr's safety expectations and ensure work is executed in accordance with company, customer, and applicable industry requirements.
• Monitor project deliverables for quality and contractual compliance.
• Coordinate project closeout, documentation, lessons learned, and final handover.
What We’re Looking ForRequired Qualifications
• Minimum of two (2) years of experience in the wind industry.
• Project management experience within wind energy, renewable energy, construction, heavy industrial, or a related environment.
• Working knowledge of cranes and crane-related project coordination.
• Experience coordinating field labor, tooling, parts, materials, and equipment in support of project execution.
• Strong understanding of project schedules, budgets, resource planning, risk management, and customer communication.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and solve problems in a fast-paced field environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to effectively lead and coordinate cross-functional teams, vendors, and field resources.
• Ability and willingness to work remotely and travel approximately 30–40%.
Preferred Qualifications
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification preferred.
• Experience supporting or managing wind repower and/or major component projects.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Renewable Energy, Construction Management, Business, or a related field.
• Experience using MS Project, Primavera P6, or similar project management and scheduling systems.
What Success Looks Like
The right Project Manager understands that successful project execution goes well beyond maintaining a schedule.
You recognize that a project can quickly be impacted if the crane isn't ready, labor isn't properly aligned, tooling isn't available, or the necessary parts and materials aren't onsite. You anticipate those challenges, coordinate resources proactively, and work across teams to keep execution moving.
You communicate clearly, understand field operations, hold stakeholders accountable, manage risk, and maintain visibility into both the operational and financial health of your projects.
Most importantly, you understand the realities of executing work in the wind industry and know how to bring people, equipment, materials, vendors, and schedules together to deliver successful projects.
Compensation
The anticipated salary range for this position is $120,000–$140,000 per year, based on experience, qualifications, and overall fit for the role.
