Client is seeking a contracted Project Manager to coordinate and oversee a multi-discipline security improvement project across generation sites. The Project Manager will provide day-to-day project leadership for contracted network, OT systems, infrastructure security, and platform engineering resources; serve as the primary liaison between the delivery partner and Client ; and facilitate planning, communication, site coordination, change execution, risk management, and delivery governance. The role is accountable for maintaining an integrated view of scope, schedule, dependencies, decisions, and outcomes while helping technical teams deliver secure, supportable, and well-documented improvements.

Deliver coordinated security improvements across generation sites in alignment with agreed scope, priorities, technical standards, and site operating constraints.

Provide clear governance and a single, reliable view of project status, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, and required actions.

Coordinate the work of the contracted Network Engineer, OT Systems Administrator, Infrastructure Security Administrator, Infrastructure Platform Engineer, and other assigned specialists.

Enable safe and orderly implementation through effective stakeholder communication, site engagement, change planning, maintenance-window coordination, validation, rollback readiness, and post-change follow-up.

Ensure project deliverables, evidence, operating procedures, as-built documentation, and knowledge-transfer materials are complete and ready for internal ownership.

Responsibilities

Lead project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closeout for the generation-site security improvement program.

Build and maintain the integrated project plan, delivery roadmap, milestone schedule, resource plan, dependency map, and workstream-level execution cadence.

Coordinate priorities and assignments across network, server, identity, virtualization, backup and recovery, vulnerability remediation, monitoring, automation, and related infrastructure workstreams.

Act as the primary liaison between the IT partner, contracted resources, Client Technology Services, cybersecurity, operational technology, site operations, and other project stakeholders.

Facilitate project meetings, technical coordination sessions, site-readiness reviews, change reviews, go/no-go decisions, status reporting, and executive or steering updates as needed.

Establish clear communication channels, meeting cadence, escalation paths, decision ownership, and action tracking across the project.

Coordinate site communications, access requirements, prerequisites, outage or maintenance windows, testing resources, and implementation sequencing with appropriate stakeholders.

Partner with technical leads to develop and validate implementation plans, methods of procedure, testing plans, rollback plans, and support handoffs before production changes.

Ensure changes follow Client requirements for cybersecurity, access control, change management, data handling, operational safety, and applicable critical-infrastructure controls.

Maintain RAID logs covering risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies; drive timely mitigation, escalation, and decision-making.

Monitor delivery progress, capacity, blockers, scope changes, and quality; reconcile status across workstreams and identify impacts before they affect milestones.

Manage scope and change requests by documenting the request, rationale, impact, decision, owner, and resulting updates to schedule or deliverables.

Track required project artifacts, including designs, inventories, implementation records, test results, security evidence, procedures, runbooks, as-built documentation, and knowledge-transfer materials.

Coordinate issue resolution across partner and internal teams without replacing the technical ownership of engineering leads.

Provide concise, fact-based reporting that distinguishes completed work, current activity, upcoming milestones, decisions needed, risks, and blocked items.

Support project closeout through acceptance tracking, open-item transition, lessons learned, documentation review, and transfer to operational support teams.

5+ years of project management experience delivering enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, operational technology, or critical-infrastructure initiatives.

Demonstrated experience coordinating multi-discipline technical teams, vendors, contractors, and internal stakeholders across multiple locations.

Working knowledge of infrastructure and security delivery concepts, including networks, Windows and Linux servers, Active Directory, virtualization, patching, vulnerability remediation, backup and recovery, monitoring, and change control.

Experience managing integrated schedules, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, actions, status reporting, and scope changes.

Ability to translate technical activity into clear business and operational communications without losing important delivery detail.

Strong facilitation, organization, written communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, escalate appropriately, and maintain accountability across teams that may not report directly to the role.

Experience with common project and work-management tools such as Microsoft Project, Planner, Azure DevOps, Jira, Smartsheet, or equivalent platforms.

Experience supporting renewable energy, utilities, generation, SCADA, OT, or other industrial and highly available environments.

Experience managing security remediation, infrastructure hardening, segmentation, identity, network modernization, observability, resiliency, or disaster-recovery projects.

Familiarity with NERC CIP, critical-infrastructure security expectations, evidence collection, and controlled change execution.

Working familiarity with technologies represented in the project, including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, VMware, Hyper-V, Veeam, Microsoft infrastructure and security services, Tanium, CrowdStrike, RunZero, Azure DevOps, containers, and monitoring platforms.

PMP, PMI-ACP, PRINCE2, Certified ScrumMaster, or comparable project-management certification.

Experience with both predictive and iterative delivery methods and the judgment to apply a practical hybrid approach.

Project charter or scope baseline, stakeholder map, governance model, and communications plan.

Integrated project plan with workstreams, milestones, dependencies, site sequencing, and resource assignments.

Current status dashboard and RAID, decision, action, and change logs.

Coordinated change calendar with implementation, validation, rollback, communication, and support-readiness checkpoints.

Deliverable and evidence tracker covering designs, procedures, testing, as-built records, runbooks, acceptance, and knowledge transfer.

Project closeout package documenting completed scope, accepted deliverables, remaining operational items, lessons learned, and ownership transitions.

This contractor is expected to provide active project leadership, independently maintain project controls, and create accountability across partner and internal workstreams. The Project Manager should be comfortable working with technical teams and generation-site stakeholders, surfacing issues early, and adapting plans around operational constraints while preserving security and change-control requirements. The scope emphasizes successful delivery of agreed outcomes and a supportable handoff rather than employee-specific career, compensation, location, or benefits terms.
