  • Coordinate signal scope with adjacent transit systems including communications, traction power, and mechanical and controls systems
  • Create and manage cost-loaded project schedules, milestones, and deliverables tied to the program baseline and assigned WBS control accounts
  • Procure and coordinate signal materials and long-lead equipment. Track lead times against milestone dates and escalate exposure
  • Develop project budgets, monitor costs, and implement cost-saving measures when possible
  • Prepare and negotiate change orders. Maintain contemporaneous notice and documentation consistent with prime contract notice provisions
  • Coordinate signal testing and commissioning, cutovers, and force account and flagging windows with the client and operating railroad
  • Attend and run project meetings & liaise with field supervision
  • Provide regular project updates to clients and stakeholders, informing them of project status, risks, and milestones
  • Maintain accurate project documentation, including progress reports, change orders, test records, as-builts, and project closeout documents
  • Address any project-related issues, conflicts, or delays promptly and effectively, seeking solutions that maintain project progress
  • Identify areas of process improvement and implement best practices to enhance project efficiency and profitability
Qualifications:
  • Minimum of 5 years of project manager experience required, with signal systems experience on transit or rail projects
  • Working knowledge of vital signal systems, interlockings, track circuits, grade crossing warning, train control and PTC, and signal power distribution
  • Ability to read and administer signal design documents including circuit plans, control line diagrams, and cable plans
  • Experience managing signal subcontractors, integrators, and OEM suppliers
  • Familiarity with signal testing, commissioning, and cutover in active railroad environments
  • Experience with public transit agency contracts
  • Ability to read and administer contract documents, including identifying conflicts between specifications and appendices
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or construction management, or equivalent work experience in the electrical contracting/engineering space
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Suite and Primavera P6, in addition to project management software; E-J currently uses Procore, Emque, Riskcast, Toric, and more

  • Broader transit systems experience in communications or traction power, controls
