Job Description

At Terabase Energy, we believe that digitalization and automation will drive the next wave of innovation and cost reduction in large-scale solar energy. To fully unlock the potential of this opportunity, Terabase is developing an interconnected software and construction automation platform. We work alongside project developers, owners, and engineering & construction firms to support the design, optimization, and construction of huge solar projects around the world.

Our team is a blend of solar industry veterans and newbies, thought-leaders, dreamers, software, electrical, and mechanical engineers, coders, product managers, project managers, and sales and marketing professionals. We are based in Northern California, with several other offices in the United States and worldwide. If this piques your interest, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

We are seeking a Process Improvement Manager to sit at the intersection of EPC domain expertise and AI system design. This role is responsible for translating complex, real-world EPC and construction workflows-particularly engineering, estimating, procurement, and construction item processes-into precise specifications that AI engineers can implement as high-impact agents.

You will work directly with construction professionals (estimators, engineers, project managers) and software engineers to map how work actually gets done today, identify bottlenecks on the critical path, and convert those insights into clear, testable AI agent specifications that compress schedules and reduce execution risk.

This is not a theoretical process role-it is hands-on, workflow-level, and outcome-driven.

Key Responsibilities

1. EPC Process Discovery & Mapping

• Decompose end-to-end EPC workflows with a focus on conceptual engineering, estimating, detailed design, long-lead procurement, contracting and construction.
• Produce very granular process maps, swim-lane diagrams, and value stream maps that reflect real execution-not idealized procedures.
• Identify handoffs, rework loops, decision gates, data dependencies, and critical path constraints across disciplines.
• Maintain a system-level view of how engineering outputs unlock procurement, and construction activities.

2. AI Opportunity Identification

• Analyze mapped workflows to pinpoint schedule-critical and labor-intensive tasks where AI can deliver immediate value.
• Prioritize opportunities based on schedule compression, feasibility, risk reduction, and scalability (e.g., long-lead release acceleration, engineering iteration reduction).
• Partner with technical teams to define short-term vs. long-term AI roadmaps aligned to EPC execution realities.

3. Agent Specification & Translation

• Translate business workflows into AI agent specifications, clearly defining:
  • Inputs (documents, data, constraints)
  • Outputs (decisions, deliverables, recommendations)
  • Triggers and dependencies
  • Success metrics and acceptance criteria
• Ensure specifications are detailed enough for AI engineers to implement without domain guesswork.
• Explicitly document edge cases, failure modes, and human-in-the-loop requirements.

4. Stakeholder Validation & Iteration

• Review agent concepts and prototypes with stakeholders.
• Validate that agent behavior aligns with how EPC teams actually work under schedule pressure.
• Iterate specifications based on field feedback to ensure adoption and measurable impact.

Requirements

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ years' experience in business process design, operations analysis, systems engineering, or EPC project delivery.
• Strong working knowledge of EPC workflows, particularly:
  • Engineering (conceptual ??? detailed design ??? construction drawings)
  • Procurement and contracting strategy
  • Schedule and dependency management
• Proven ability to create clear, structured process documentation from ambiguous real-world inputs.
• Expert with process mapping tools (Miro, Lucidchart, Visio, or equivalent) and presentation tools (Powerpoint, Prezi, gamma.ai or equivalent).
• Excellent communication skills-able to translate seamlessly between domain experts and technical teams.

Preferred

• Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma, BPMN, or value stream mapping methodologies.
• Experience working with or alongside software, data, or AI teams.
• Exposure to data center, power generation, or large industrial EPC projects.
• Comfort operating in environments where processes are evolving and not fully documented.

What Success Looks Like

• EPC workflows are captured at a level of detail sufficient for automation, not just visualization.
• Business stakeholders recognize the potential agents as solving real pain points, not abstract use cases.
• AI engineers can build from your specifications without repeatedly revisiting domain assumptions.

Why This Role Matters

Engineering, procurement and construction are all critical path items for large EPC programs and can drive multi-year schedule risk.

This role ensures AI is applied exactly where it moves the schedule, turning process insight into durable execution advantage.

Working model

• In person model is strongly preferred for effective, fast iterations.
• This role may involve limited travel to observe workflows and validate adoption in real settings.
• You'll work closely with a small (10+), high-output team focused on speed, iteration, and measurable impact.

Benefits

Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within each posted range individual pay is determined (and may be greater or higher) dependent on work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. The expected salary range for this role is $150,000-170,000 DOE.
