About This Opportunity Client is advancing a significant gas generation development portfolio, and Engineering & Construction is at the center of that work. We are seeking a Project Manager to lead E&C's engagement across selected gas project development activities from technology due diligence and FEED studies to construction readiness within NextEra's project portfolio. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional leadership role operating at the intersection of Generation Development, Integrated Supply Chain (ISC), and E&C. The ideal candidate thrives in an origination-driven environment and brings a disciplined approach to budget, scope and schedule management, risk identification, and team leadership.
What You'll Do Gas Technology and Commercial Due Diligence
Lead and facilitate the day-to-day management of select projects to ensure timely completion as well as cost effective and competitive results.
Lead E&C's participation in gas project technology and commercial due diligence, evaluating achievable commercial commitments, constructability, site integration complexity, utility interconnection requirements (electrical, gas, water, etc.), and preliminary cost positioning across competing technologies and configurations (combined cycle, simple cycle, peaking)
Identify and document E&C-specific technology and commercial risks, including balance-of-plant configuration alternatives, supply chain availability for major equipment and contractors, and site-specific civil and interconnection constraints
Provide E&C technical and commercial input into OEM and contractor meetings, site visits, and technology assessments, ensuring construction and engineering perspectives are represented early in the selection process
Coordinate with E&C SMEs to evaluate technology-specific balance-of-plant and interconnection requirements, including switchyard and transmission infrastructure, gas and water supply requirements, and waste water and air emissions compliance requirements
Gas Project Development, Technical Oversight & Risk Identification
Lead E&C participation in Technology Review, capital estimate and project schedule development, and Preliminary Engineering phases across active gas development projects
Maintain a Risk Register, tracking scope, schedule, cost, and constructability risks
Proactively identify when Development-driven scope changes introduce E&C cost or schedule risk
Coordinate E&C SME resources in support of gas project site configuration reviews and risk assessments
Lead E&C's participation in commercial offtake agreement negotiation, site permitting, and interconnection processes, ensuring construction-phase dependencies are identified and tracked against development and regulatory milestones
Partner with Integrated Supply Chain on procurement support activities including RFQ input, commercial and technical scope review, and bid evaluation for major gas project equipment and EPC/EPCM scopes
Lead bid evaluation activities, including cost comparison analysis between E&C estimates and contractor proposals, flagging material variances as risk indicators requiring scope alignment review
Lead bid recommendation and contract negotiation activities to execute the highest value contracts supporting project goals with acceptable levels of risk.
Project Controls & Reporting
Lead schedule development, cost benchmarking, cashflow modeling, and risk-adjusted cost positioning in support of project sanction decisions
Maintain and report on the E&C gas project risk register, ensuring leadership has timely visibility into emerging risks, mitigation actions, and residual exposure
Support process improvement within E&C project development workflows, including integration of project data and risk tracking into project management platforms
What You'll Need Required:
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
8+ years of experience in energy project development or large capital construction, with demonstrated leadership in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
Experience in EPC/EPCM project delivery, cost estimating, schedule development, and project risk management for gas generation projects
Experience in major equipment and EPC/EPCM contract procurement including bid preparation, evaluation, negotiation and award
Proven ability to lead through ambiguity in early-stage, origination-led development programs
Proven ability to effectively communicate with internal and external stakeholders including executive management and public officials
Preferred:
Experience with combined cycle or simple cycle gas development across multiple geographies and regulatory environments
Familiarity with Microsoft Project or Primavera project management and scheduling software
What Sets You Apart
You lead across organizational boundaries without direct authority and make it look seamless
You surface risks before they become problems
You bring structure and discipline to early-stage development environments that others find ambiguous
You are equally comfortable in an OEM technical meeting, a leadership budget review or County Commissioner hearing
