🌞 About Buffalo Solar
At Buffalo Solar, we’re more than just a solar company — we’re a close-knit team on a mission to power 1,000 businesses in the Northeast over the next 10 years.
We specialize in high-quality commercial solar installations and take pride in doing things the right way — every time. As a Gold Quality Installer for NYSERDA, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in the industry, and we believe our people are the key to our continued success.
We’re building something meaningful — and we’re looking for people who want to grow with us.
🏗️ About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Solar Construction Project Manager who wants to grow and take ownership of multiple projects—from early development through installation and closeout.
This role will work directly with our Director of Construction and be a vital link between our office teams and the field crews. You’ll coordinate with subcontractors, solve problems in real-time, and ensure every project meets our strict NYSERDA quality standards.
If you’re organized, proactive, and ready to lead projects with a team that values ambition, respect, and continuous learning—this is the role for you.
🎯 What You’ll Do
- Partner closely with the Director of Construction to fully understand project scope and execution plans
- Act as the go-to person for subcontractors, answering questions and troubleshooting on the fly
- Perform daily check-ins with crews to maintain momentum and quality control
- Ensure our NYSERDA Gold Quality Installer standards are met through consistent field oversight
- Manage several projects simultaneously, keeping everyone aligned on timelines and expectations
- Communicate transparently across departments to make sure nothing falls through the cracks
This is a hybrid role based out of our office in Depew NY with regular travel to job sites for inspections, subcontractor coordination, and quality control. Occasional overnight travel may be required depending on project locations.
âś… Who You Are
âś… Who You Are
- Someone with 2+ years in construction or solar project management, ideally with commercial solar experience
- A natural problem solver who can stay calm under pressure and keep projects on track
- Highly organized and detail-oriented—you know what’s happening on every site at all times
- A clear and respectful communicator who works well with subcontractors and teammates alike
- Eager to learn and grow your skills, with a strong desire to take on more responsibility over time
- Aligned with our core values: Ambition, Knowledge, Willingness to Learn, Teamwork, and Respect
🌟 Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Work directly with leadership. You won’t be lost in the shuffle — you’ll collaborate every day with the Director of Construction and other senior team members.
- A culture that cares. We’re committed to fostering a respectful, supportive environment where your growth is encouraged and your voice is heard.
- Clear path to growth. Many of our team members started in roles like this and have moved into senior leadership, engineering, and beyond.
- Be part of something bigger. Every project you manage helps push the world toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

Our Story
At Buffalo Solar, our mission is bold and crystal clear, power 1,000 businesses with clean, reliable solar energy by 2035.
We specialize in commercial and industrial rooftop solar solutions that help companies cut operating costs, lock in predictable energy expenses, and meet long-term sustainability goals. Every project we deliver is designed to perform as a true business asset, driving savings, stability, and growth for decades to come.
Founded in Buffalo, NY, Buffalo Solar was built from the ground up by Founder and CEO, Tyler Uebelhoer. With more than a decade of experience as an electrician and construction professional, Tyler recognized solar as the industry where he could make the biggest impact, not just for businesses, but for the economy and communities of Western New York. What started in his South Buffalo living room in 2015 has evolved into a modern solar development and EPC company serving organizations across New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and beyond.
Over the past 10 years, Buffalo Solar has grown from a local startup into a trusted regional partner, yet our approach remains hands-on and personal. From the first consultation through post-installation support, we stay closely connected to every client to ensure their system is reliable, efficient, and built for long-term value.
We care so deeply about the businesses we serve that we developed our own in-house 15-Year Peace of Mind Warranty, providing unmatched protection that separates us from the rest of the industry.
Our vision is ambitious but simple, 1,000 businesses powered by Buffalo Solar by 2035. We have already come a long way from our beginnings in Western New York, and we are just getting started.
