Overview

A remote Business Analyst role supporting the implementation of a Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) system for a large construction-focused program. It's a full lifecycle role (requirements through UAT and go-live) with a lot of stakeholder interaction and process design work.

We're especially looking for someone who's worked on system implementations and understands project or construction workflows - even if it's not utility-specific.

Responsibilities

• Support the implementation of a Construction Portfolio, Project, and Resource Management System for a municipal electric utility, including defining, validating, and managing business, functional, and technical requirements across the full project lifecycle.
• Lead end-to-end requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation across business and technical domains.
• Develop and maintain Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) from design through User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Perform fit-gap analysis to evaluate solution alignment with utility construction and portfolio management needs.
• Translate business requirements into detailed functional and technical specifications aligned with existing enterprise systems.
• Create current-state (as-is) and future-state (to-be) process maps for construction portfolio, project, and resource workflows.
• Define use cases, user stories, and acceptance criteria aligned with operational needs.
• Identify process improvements and standardization opportunities across business units.
• Serve as primary liaison between business stakeholders, IT, and vendor teams.
• Facilitate workshops, validation sessions, and decision-making forums to ensure stakeholder alignment and timely input.
• Support procurement activities by leading the development of requirements for RFP packages, vendor evaluation criteria, and scoring approaches.
• Define UAT strategy, develop test scripts, and support execution of User Acceptance Testing.
• Validate readiness for deployment, including procedures, training, and operational transition activities.
• Support post-go-live validation and stabilization efforts.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Data Analytics, or a related field; additional relevant experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
• 5+ years of Business Analyst experience supporting enterprise technology implementations.
• Proven experience delivering at least three Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) system implementations, preferably within utility construction management environments.
• Experience leading requirements elicitation, RTM management, and stakeholder alignment across complex programs.
• Support full lifecycle delivery, including RFP development, vendor selection, testing, and go-live activities.
• Preferred: Utility industry experience, especially in electric utilities.
