What we do

At Terabase Energy, we believe digitalization and automation will drive the next wave of innovation and cost reduction in utility-scale solar. Terabase is developing an interconnected software and construction automation platform supporting the design, optimization, construction, and operation of large solar projects around the world.

Our team includes solar-industry veterans and newcomers, engineers, software developers, product managers, project managers, and commercial professionals. We are headquartered in Northern California, with offices and employees across the United States and around the world.

The Role

Terabase's SCADA solutions enable accurate data acquisition and effective management of utility-scale solar power plants. We are seeking a Project Manager to run the Closure, RMA and Warranty services function of our Project Delivery team and own the closeout and multi-year warranty period for our deployed SCADA and controls projects. Reporting to the Director, Operations & Delivery, who is responsible for the successful execution of Terabase SCADA projects and customer excellence, you will lead project closure, RMA, warranty, and spares activities across our installed base, ensuring each project is completed on time, fully documented, and transitioned to a satisfied customer. 

The ideal candidate is proactive, organized, and dependable, consistently delivering on time and following through on commitments. Success in this role requires the ability to build trust with customers and cross-functional teams, strong planning and coordination skills, sound technical orientation in SCADA and industrial controls, and the discipline to execute across many concurrent projects. 

This position is based in Berkeley, California, but the right candidate may be able to work remotely from another location.
