Project Manager Electric vehicle

Pay:- $50-60/Hr

Duration: 3 years

Location: Remote

The PM helps school districts start and finish fleet electrification plans. They also support decisions after the plan so districts meet New York's zero-emission school bus requirements. This is a backfill: the last contractor held the role for about two years.

The team has hundreds of FEP projects underway.

Engineering firms do the analysis (buses, charging, utility capacity). Districts pick these firms from Client approved list. The PM does not do the analysis.

The PM oversees the firms, manages contracts, and reviews deliverables and invoices. They also go between districts, bus fleets and contractors, and the engineering firms.
