PMP-certified, solar-native project management from NTP to COD — schedule, interconnection, procurement, and owner reporting run by a PM who's worked utility-scale solar in the field.
None of these are unusual. They're the default state of PM at a growing solar EPC — until they cost a COD date.
Schedule risk on active projects isn't caught until it's already eating the float.
LGIA milestones and deposit deadlines are tracked informally, if they're tracked at all.
Submittals live in a spreadsheet that's three versions behind what's actually happening in the field.
The person responsible for schedule and risk is also running the field or estimating the next job.
Reports get built the night before the call instead of living in a system built for scale.
Bookings are up. The PM structure underneath them is still sized for last year.
Start with a retainer, a rescue, or a standalone audit — every engagement is built around the reality of utility-scale solar construction.
Schedule, risk, RFI log, owner reporting, and interconnection tracking across your active project list. Three tiers, from 1–2 projects to full portfolio governance.
A 2-week maturity score across 8 EPC-specific PM dimensions, schedule risk analysis, interconnection gap review, and a template pack you keep.
A P6 or MS Project schedule template, change control process, RFI workflow, full SunStack configuration, and training for your team.
Standalone or bundled add-on. LGIA milestones, deposit deadlines, study windows, and utility coordination — tracked, not guessed at.
A 48-hour assessment, a recovery schedule, a stakeholder reset, and PM support carried through to COD on a project that's gone sideways.
Punchlist management, commissioning coordination, utility witness testing, as-builts, and final acceptance — the phase most likely to drag.
Provisioned in Week 1. You get full visibility into your own projects — we operate it on your behalf, and you keep the data when the engagement ends.
Foundation PMO picks up at Notice to Proceed and carries through construction to Commercial Operation.
Month-to-month after an initial 90-day term. SunStack workspace included with every retainer.

We review your active project list and where PM is thinnest today.
COD risk and LD exposure, in dollars, before you sign anything.
Week 1 — schedule, interconnection tracker, and RFI log go live.
Weekly cadence, owner reporting, and interconnection tracking take over.
Project Controls Setup and the Gridmind AI layer as your portfolio grows.
Foundation PMO is Stage 1. As your data and cadence mature in SunStack, the AI layer sits directly on top of it.
Maturity score and gap review.
SunStack workspace included.
SunStack handoff to self-service.
AI automation on top of SunStack data.
Foundation PMO is built on active utility-scale solar construction PM experience — not a generalist construction background applied to solar after the fact. PMP-certified, with 10+ years across IT and infrastructure project management before moving into solar EPC, where the work has centered on the parts that actually sink schedules: interconnection queues, long-lead procurement, and commissioning coordination.
Based in Wilmington, NC, and building toward a fully remote, multi-business practice — Foundation PMO sits alongside SunStack, Gridmind, and sister brand Critical Path PMO under the same operating model.
Same founder, same operating model — fractional PMO for managed service providers instead of solar contractors.
Score your PM function across 8 EPC-specific dimensions — schedule, interconnection, procurement, RFI management, owner reporting, risk, commissioning, and documentation. Three pages, no call required.
