You'll work directly with clients, subcontractors, internal teams, and regulatory agencies to keep projects safe, on schedule, and profitable.

    What You'll Do

    • Manage the full lifecycle of substation projects — planning, permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, and closeout
    • Develop and oversee project budgets, schedules, scopes, and deliverables
    • Serve as the primary client contact for project updates, strategic planning, and issue resolution
    • Lead site mobilization and demobilization planning, supporting construction managers through implementation
    • Prepare RFPs, scopes of work, and bid packages; support vendor selection and contract negotiation
    • Oversee project documentation, permitting, quality control, safety compliance, and field audits
    • Coordinate across project disciplines, including engineering, procurement, construction, and controls
    • Report on project performance, cost tracking, procurement issues, and risks
    • Maintain accurate invoicing, change management documentation, and closeout materials
    • Support ongoing client relationships and help identify future business opportunities

    What You'll Bring

    • Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an accredited institution
    • 7+ years of experience in high-voltage substation projects (physical and P&C)
    • 3+ years of direct project management experience
    • PE license preferred
    • PMP certification a plus
    • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills
    • Experience working with public, utility, and government clients on large-scale infrastructure projects
    • Valid driver's license and ability to meet company Motor Vehicle Safety Policy requirements
