Below is an overview of the work I did as a Project Manager for J & M Solar Roofing, with a focus on organizational success. 

• Lead cross-functional teams in the execution of solar installation projects, ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery while adhering to safety and legal policies 
• Example: Led a team of 5+ engineers, technicians, and subcontractors on 150 residential solar installations, completing the project 2 weeks ahead of schedule and under budget by $50,000 by working with internal team to map out cost effective routes, scheduling projects (in close proximity) back to back, and review contracts for cost/value analytics.

• Develop and manage project plans, including timelines, budgets, and resource allocation, to ensure alignment with company goals and maximize return on investment for solar installations.
• Example: Created a detailed project plan for "typical sized" residential roof system, managing a $600,000 budget and ensuring all project milestones were met, resulting in a 10% return on investment within the first year.

• Drive process improvements by implementing Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, reducing project delivery times by 15% and cutting operational costs by 10% through streamlined workflows and resource optimization.
• Example: Led the optimization of the procurement and delivery process for solar panels using Lean principles to eliminate inefficiencies, resulting in a 30% reduction in lead times. This was done by looking at existing contracts and exploring new options with existing and new vendors. Additionally, integrated Six Sigma tools to streamline scheduling, improving workforce productivity by 18%, by creating a comprehensive and interactive calendar. 

• Develop and implement risk management strategies, identifying potential project risks and deploying mitigation plans, resulting in a 20% reduction in project delays and unforeseen costs.
• Example: Identified risks related to the company (cost of production vs. monetary gain), and to homeowner (cost per watt, dependent on weather conditions, time of year and alignment to the sun).  Implemented a risk mitigation plan that included adjusting the project schedule, created solar installation plans - with sun alignment in mind, and allocating additional resources,

• Monitor project performance using key performance indicators (KPIs), tracking progress against project milestones, and making data-driven adjustments to stay on track with organizational goals.
• Example: Tracked project KPIs for installations, including metrics like projected energy output (depending on time of year), labor hours (from contract signing), and cost per watt (per panel), which led to data-driven adjustments that improved overall installation processing by 10%

• Foster strong relationships with local municipalities, regulatory bodies, and utility companies to streamline permitting and approval processes, reducing project start-up times by 25%.
• Example: Established strong working relationships with local permitting authorities for a solar project in New Jersey, resulting in expedited approvals and a 25% reduction in project start-up time. This was done by attending local chamber events, connect with local businesses and stakeholders.
