Background

About Terica Starr

I am a Senior Project Compliance Manager specializing in labor compliance for large, utility-scale renewable energy projects under the Inflation Reduction Act. I lead a team of 8 compliance professionals, managing complex, high-value contracts from start to finish while ensuring strict adherence to prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements at the federal, state, and local levels. My expertise spans Davis-Bacon compliance, prevailing wage laws, federal funding requirements, and large-scale labor audits. I work closely with clients to navigate complex regulations, resolve escalations, and design compliance strategies that stand up to the highest scrutiny. Through proactive auditing, I help ensure projects avoid costly penalties or findings when turning over or submitting for tax credits — protecting both financial outcomes and reputations. I thrive on transforming complex labor standards into practical, repeatable processes that keep projects moving forward without compliance delays. Known for my leadership, I coach, mentor, and develop high-performing teams that deliver accuracy, timeliness, and exceptional client service on some of the largest renewable energy projects in the country.
