  • Lead site mobilization and demobilization planning, supporting construction managers through implementation
  • Prepare RFPs, scopes of work, and bid packages; support vendor selection and contract negotiation
  • Oversee project documentation, permitting, quality control, safety compliance, and field audits
  • Coordinate across project disciplines, including engineering, procurement, construction, and controls
  • Report on project performance, cost tracking, procurement issues, and risks
  • Maintain accurate invoicing, change management documentation, and closeout materials
  • Support ongoing client relationships and help identify future business opportunities

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an accredited institution
  • 7+ years of experience in high-voltage substation projects (physical and P&C)
  • 3+ years of direct project management experience
  • PE license preferred
  • PMP certification a plus
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • Experience working with public, utility, and government clients on large-scale infrastructure projects
  • Valid driver's license and ability to meet company Motor Vehicle Safety Policy requirements
