About the job
Terabase Energy focuses on advancing large-scale solar projects by combining digital tools and automation. The company partners with developers, owners, and construction firms to streamline the design, optimization, and delivery of major solar installations. The team includes solar industry veterans, engineers, project managers, and software professionals, with headquarters in Northern California and additional locations across the US and internationally.
Role overview
The EPC Process Improvement Manager connects expertise in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) with the development of AI systems. This role centers on translating complex EPC and construction workflows, especially in engineering, estimating, procurement, and construction item management, into clear, actionable specifications for AI engineers. Collaboration with both construction professionals and software teams is a core part of the job.
The manager will review existing processes, identify bottlenecks, and convert those findings into requirements for AI agents that improve scheduling and reduce project risks. The work is grounded in the practical realities of delivering solar projects.
Main responsibilities
EPC process discovery and mapping
- Analyze end-to-end EPC workflows, focusing on conceptual engineering, estimating, detailed design, long-lead procurement, contracting, and construction phases.
- Create detailed process maps, swim-lane diagrams, and value stream maps to reflect actual project workflows.
- Identify handoffs, rework cycles, decision points, data dependencies, and constraints along the critical path.
- Maintain a broad view of how engineering outputs support procurement and construction activities.
AI opportunity identification
- Examine mapped workflows to find schedule-critical and labor-intensive tasks where AI can have immediate impact.
- Prioritize opportunities based on their effect on project schedules and potential for efficiency gains.
