Project Manager - Engineering - Power & Energy

Atwell's Power & Energy group delivers utility-scale renewable and grid projects nationwide. We're hiring a Technical Project Manager with a strong consulting/owner's-engineer background to lead multidisciplinary work across wind, solar, battery storage, high-voltage substation, and transmission programs. This is a technical engineering PM role: you'll own scope, schedule, and budget and drive the engineering from early studies and permits through construction support and closeout.

What you'll do

• Own the project lifecycle: lead scope definition, proposals/LOE, schedules, risk registers, change management, and cost control from feasibility to turnover.
• Drive technical delivery: coordinate and review civil, structural, electrical (P&C, HV, collection, interconnection) and studies work; ensure designs meet NEC/NESC/IEEE/ASCE, client standards, and constructability.
• Quality & compliance: manage QA/QC plans, submittals, RFIs, and document control; ensure environmental/permitting and interconnection requirements are integrated.
• Construction support: perform site visits; review shop drawings and test reports; support FAT/SAT, energization, punch-list closure, and lessons-learned.
• Team & vendor management: coordinate internal engineers/designers and external partners (EPCs, specialty subs, equipment vendors) to align deliverables and mitigate risk.

What you bring

• 8+ years delivering power/energy projects (consulting, owner's engineer, or EPCM) spanning utility-scale wind/solar/BESS, HV substations, and/or transmission.
• Bachelor's in Electrical, Civil, or Structural Engineering (or related). PE license preferred (multi-state a plus); PMP a plus.
• Working knowledge of interconnection/studies and design coordination (e.g., ETAP/SKM/PSSE/PSCAD familiarity; PLS-CADD/POLE; Civil 3D/AutoCAD; Bluebeam).

Nice to have

• Experience with owner's-rep/OR, OE roles and utility interfaces (ISO/RTO processes).
• Familiarity with constructability reviews, commissioning plans, and startup/energization.
• Knowledge of procurement workflows and major equipment (modules, trackers, inverters, transformers, breakers, relays).

Pay Range - $125,000 - $175,000 base + bonus.
