Preconstruction director de-risking distributed energy projects for BoxPower. Leading contracts, subcontractor strategy, and Sales-to-Delivery readiness for resilient distributed energy systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Standardize and run the handoff from Sales into Engineering, Procurement, Project Management, and Operations after award
  • Validate scope, assumptions, exclusions, milestone schedules, site/customer responsibilities, and commercial commitments before internal turnover
  • Run pre-NTP readiness reviews with clear owners, deadlines, and escalation paths
  • Serve as the primary contract “pen holder” during customer negotiations, partnering with CEO, CFO, and GC as needed
  • Maintain deviation logs, approved fallback positions, and approval records
  • Coordinate cross-functional contract inputs from Engineering, Project Management, Procurement, Finance, and Operations
  • Source, qualify, level, and select subcontractors for awarded projects
  • Lead subcontract scope alignment, bid collection, pricing comparison, commercial negotiation, and buyout discipline
  • Build repeatable subcontractor coverage, pricing benchmarks, and market intelligence
  • Own the pre-NTP risk register covering scope, schedule, permitting, site conditions, supply chain, commercial terms, and execution constraints
  • Drive resolution of assumption gaps, pricing misses, scope mismatches, and other downstream delivery risks
  • Establish go/no-go and readiness criteria before projects move into formal execution
  • Oversee post-signature contract readiness, including contract kickoffs, obligation extraction, and risk handoff to PMO and Operations
  • Ensure the execution team enters NTP with clear contractual obligations, aligned budget assumptions, subcontractor strategy, and open-item visibility
  • Track and improve pre-NTP cycle time, handoff quality, subcontractor coverage, and recurring root causes of downstream project disruption

Requirements:

  • 8+ years in pre-construction, project development, contracts, commercial operations, or related leadership roles
  • Track record negotiating customer and subcontractor agreements and managing pre-NTP commercial risk
  • Experience with subcontractor selection, pricing, bid leveling, scope alignment, and project readiness reviews
  • Strong written communication, contract judgment, and cross-functional execution skills
