Project Manager - Solar Installations (Cebu)

Title: Branch Head / Project Manager

Location: Cebu

Type: Full-time

About Helios Helios is a dynamic, rapidly growing startup revolutionizing the solar energy landscape in the Philippines. We're building an end-to-end solar installation and financing company, making clean, renewable energy accessible and affordable for homes and businesses. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future — and we're looking for people who are energized by making a tangible impact on the environment.

The Opportunity Helios is expanding into the Visayas. We already have a foothold in Cebu — a site engineer, a sales associate, and a growing pipeline of projects — but no physical branch office yet, and we're looking for a Branch Head to lead that team and help us get there. This is a senior, ground-level role for someone who can own project delivery end-to-end while also helping stand up the branch's physical office and operations as we scale. You'll be our most senior person in Cebu, overseeing the local team and reporting directly to Manila leadership — accountable for making sure every project we close gets delivered on time, on budget, and to Helios standards.

What You'll Do

• Help stand up Helios' first physical branch office in Cebu, and build out day-to-day branch operations as the local team grows
• Own end-to-end delivery of residential solar installations in Cebu, from sales handover through commissioning and client sign-off
• Coordinate site engineers, installers, and suppliers to keep every project on schedule and in scope
• Catch issues early and resolve on-site challenges with minimal escalation
• Keep quality control and compliance with Helios standards tight across all Cebu projects
• Manage project documentation, timelines, and client communication from start to finish
• Support small commercial and industrial (C&I) projects where your experience allows
• Act as the senior Helios presence in Cebu — guiding and supporting the local team day to day
• Coordinate with a local business development consultant driving Helios' growth in the region
• Keep Manila leadership in the loop on project status, team performance, and local market shifts
• Team up with the sales associate on client acquisition, site assessments, and technical input during proposals

What You'll Bring

• 3–6 years in solar energy, with hands-on experience in residential installation and project management
• Solid grasp of PV system design, installation, and commissioning
• Experience leading on-site teams or managing subcontractors
• Business development or client-facing experience is a strong plus
• Comfort working independently and making operational calls without day-to-day supervision
• Strong organizational and communication skills — you can juggle multiple projects at once
• Exposure to small C&I solar projects is a bonus
• Based in Cebu, or ready to relocate there
• A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related field is preferred, but not required

Why Join Helios

• A rare opportunity to lead and grow Helios' Cebu branch, including standing up our first physical office there
• Real autonomy to run operations on the ground, backed by a strong Manila team
• A collaborative, mission-driven team that's building something that matters
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Career growth as the Cebu branch scales
