• Regulatory Compliance: Liaise with local authorities and regulatory agencies to obtain necessary permits and ensure full compliance with building codes, electrical standards, and environmental regulations throughout the project. 

• Risk & Issue Resolution: Proactively identify potential project risks or challenges and implement mitigation strategies. Troubleshoot issues promptly to keep projects on track and avoid delays. 

• Quality & Safety Assurance: Uphold high safety and quality standards on-site. Work with teams to enforce compliance with health, safety, and environmental guidelines, fostering a safety-first culture. 

• Reporting: Provide regular project updates and reports on progress, budget status, and risks to the co-founder (and eventually the Director of Operations). Ensure transparency and escalate issues with proposed solutions in a timely manner. 

• Leadership without Authority: Lead and motivate the project team through influence, not direct authority. Foster a collaborative, accountable environment where each contributor is driven to meet project objectives and uphold Mitros’s standards of excellence. 

​

Required Qualifications 

​

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). 

• Project Management Experience: 5+ years of project management experience driving complex construction or infrastructure projects from start to finish. Proven track record of delivering projects on schedule and within budget, managing multiple moving parts effectively. 

• Industry Knowledge: Experience in renewable energy projects (solar PV installations strongly preferred) or large-scale construction project management. Familiarity with utility-scale solar farm development, electrical infrastructure, or civil construction is a major plus. 

• Regulatory & Contracting Insight: Working knowledge of construction management processes, contracts, and procurement. Understanding of permitting processes and local regulatory requirements for solar/construction projects (or the ability to quickly come up to speed) is advantageous. 

• Results Orientation: Demonstrated ability to coordinate diverse teams and resources to achieve project milestones. A hands-on approach to problem-solving and a drive to take ownership of project outcomes are essential. 

​

Key Competencies and Skills 

​

• Project Management Certification: Project Management Professional (PMP), PRINCE2 certification, or equivalent is highly valued (strong evidence of formal project management training and expertise). 

• Leadership & Communication: Excellent leadership and interpersonal skills – able to coordinate and inspire teams through influence. Exceptional communication skills for effective stakeholder management, negotiation, and collaboration across all levels. 

• Organizational Skills: Strong organizational and time-management abilities with a keen eye for detail. Capable of juggling priorities and maintaining focus on project goals in a fast-paced environment. 

• Problem-Solving: Analytical mindset and proactive problem-solving skills. Adept at anticipating obstacles, evaluating options, and implementing solutions under pressure. 

• Technical Proficiency: Proficiency in project management software (e.g., MS Project or similar scheduling tools) and the MS Office suite. Ability to utilize digital tools to track progress, document changes, and report metrics. 

• Safety & Compliance: Solid understanding of health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards in construction/installation projects. Any safety training certifications or familiarity with site safety protocols (e.g., Safe Pass, OSHA, NEBOSH) are a plus. 

• Renewable Energy Savvy: Knowledge of solar PV systems and renewable energy technology is beneficial. While you don’t need to be an engineer, understanding the technical basics helps in making informed decisions and communicating effectively with technical teams.
