About This Role The Project Development Manager (PDM) is the primary point of contact for the projects and client engagements they own within the development organization. Operating within the transmission infrastructure and emerging energy market sectors, the PDM is responsible for advancing individual development opportunities from early engagement through pre‑construction milestone completion — serving as the day‑to‑day face of the organization to clients, partners, and internal stakeholders. This role is client‑facing, execution‑oriented, and highly self‑directed. Operating with significant autonomy under the strategic direction of the Director, the PDM is expected to take initiative, set their own priorities, and drive projects forward without day‑to‑day supervision. The PDM owns the relationship, the timeline, and the coordination of all resources — internal and external — needed to move their assigned projects forward with discipline and quality. They operate under the strategic direction of the Director of Project Development, translating the company's development framework into results on specific opportunities, and are accountable for both project advancement and the responsible use of the company's engagement resources. What You'll Do Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned clients and project sponsors throughout the development lifecycle — building trusted working‑level relationships and managing communications, expectations, and issue resolution proactively. Own the project development timeline for each assigned opportunity, tracking milestones and driving progress through the stage‑gate process (Gate0 through Gate3). Prepare thorough, accurate gate review packages documenting project status, advancement criteria, resource spend, at‑risk exposure, and a recommended Go/Hold/Exit decision for Director review. Identify risks to project advancement early and bring recommendations to the Director with sufficient lead time to act. Coordinate internal resources, operating company staff, and external partners — including the scoping, procurement, and delivery of third‑party technical services — within Director‑authorized spend thresholds. Manage teaming partner relationships and ensure smooth, well‑documented project handoffs to estimating, project management, and operations teams. Track and report project‑level resource utilization and at‑risk commitments against authorized budgets, keeping the CRM and pipeline reporting accurate and current. Apply the company's qualification and engagement‑structure discipline at every gate — assessing engagement‑structure appropriateness, avoiding scope creep beyond gate authorization, supporting cost‑share and engagement‑letter negotiations, and recommending exit when a project no longer meets the company's thresholds. Maintain working fluency in the transmission and emerging energy market dynamics relevant to assigned projects — including RTO/ISO planning, FERC policy, interconnection processes, and emerging technology drivers — and stay current on developments that affect project advancement. What You'll Bring Required 5–10 years of experience in energy project development, utility‑sector project management, infrastructure consulting, or a related client‑facing technical role Direct experience managing complex, multi‑stakeholder energy or infrastructure projects from early development through construction or financial close Working knowledge of transmission infrastructure, grid interconnection processes, or emerging energy market sectors (grid‑scale storage, data center power, or similar) Demonstrated ability to manage client relationships as a primary point of contact — communicating clearly, managing expectations, and resolving issues proactively Self‑driven and highly autonomous — able to set priorities, take initiative, and drive multiple projects forward independently with minimal supervision Strong organizational skills and attention to detail — able to track multiple concurrent projects, deadlines, and resource commitments without dropping items Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Finance, or a related technical or commercial discipline Preferred Background in transmission line, substation, or high‑voltage infrastructure development or EPC delivery Familiarity with FERC/RTO interconnection and transmission planning processes — including queue management, feasibility studies, and system impact assessments Experience supporting or negotiating development agreements, cost‑share arrangements, or EPC contract structures Exposure to emerging energy markets including BESS development, data center load interconnection, gas infrastructure, or nuclear Experience using CRM tools for pipeline tracking and client relationship management MBA or graduate degree in a relevant technical or commercial field
