Job Description

🌱 About Dandelion Energy

Dandelion Energy is transforming how homes are heated and cooled—starting from (below) the ground up. As the nation’s leading residential geothermal company, we design, install, and maintain all-in-one heating and cooling systems that are cleaner, quieter, and up to 4x more efficient than traditional HVAC, with a focus on large, scaled deployments to large homebuilders. We’re an ambitious (and growing) team on a mission to revolutionize home heating.

Backed by Google Ventures (GV) and other top tech investors, our end-to-end geothermal solution is breaking the status quo of residential heating and cooling technology, and we’re scaling rapidly to meet demand. Whether we’re serving national homebuilders or individual homeowners, our mission is the same: to make geothermal the default choice for heating and cooling in the U.S.

📌 About the job:

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Senior Construction Project Manager to oversee large residential developments, including single-family homes, townhomes, and low to mid-rise multi-family projects. The successful candidate will spearhead projects from pre-construction engineering through completion and quality assurance, ensuring adherence to schedule, budget, and quality standards.

We are seeking individuals who are not only proficient in project management but also possess a forward-thinking mindset and a passion for building and improving processes. Geothermal experience is a plus but not mandatory; however, construction management experience is essential.

The role demands strong financial acumen, subcontractor management skills, and the ability to travel as needed. This is an opportunity to join a growing team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our department. This position will report to the VP of New Construction.

🛠️ Responsibilities:

  • Lead pre-construction engineering efforts, including logistical planning, subcontracting, design work, and value engineering.
  • Oversee project execution, including scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, safety compliance, and quality control/Assurance.
  • Manage subcontractor relationships, ensuring timely delivery of services, adherence to project specifications, and nurturing a collaborative professional partnership.
  • Drive project progress through effective communication, coordination, and conflict resolution.
  • Utilize project management software to track project milestones, budgets, and documentation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline processes and optimize project efficiency.
  • Implement and maintain quality assurance measures to uphold project standards and meet client expectations.
  • Actively participate in the development and enhancement of departmental tools, processes, and best practices.
  • Contribute to the growth and development of the role by providing insights, feedback, and innovative solutions.

🎯 You will thrive in this role if you have:

  • Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and meeting deadlines.

✅ Must -haves:

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field. Master's degree is a plus.
  • Proven experience in project management within the construction industry, preferably in residential developments.
  • Strong understanding of construction methodologies, building codes, and industry regulations.
  • Proficiency in project management software, Microsoft Office, and Google Suite. Procore and Salesforce experience is highly desirable.
  • Willingness to travel as required for project site visits and meetings.

🌳You’ll love working at Dandelion because:

Since spinning out of Google X in 2017, Dandelion Energy has been transforming home heating and cooling through cutting-edge geothermal technology. We design and install the most efficient residential heat pump in the U.S., serving both individual homeowners and some of the nation’s largest homebuilders.

Our team has elevated the profile of geothermal heat pumps nationally, delivered thousands of high-quality installations across the country, and successfully championed electrification-friendly policy at local and federal levels.

We’re a multidisciplinary, mission-driven team of experts—spanning hardware engineering, HVAC, drilling, solar finance, behavioral economics, and startup operations—united by a shared mission: to make clean, affordable heating and cooling the default for every home. The work is complex, meaningful, and built to scale.

We foster a collaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work culture where cross-functional teamwork, curiosity, and continuous learning are core to how we operate. Our nationwide team is united by a shared passion for sustainability and a commitment to scaling clean, affordable energy solutions that make a real difference.

We’re driving a wholesale shift in how homes are heated and cooled—join us.
