Principal Transmission Project Manager

Found in: beBee jobs US - 7 days ago


Portland, Oregon, United States Portland General Electric Company Full time

Summary

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, in partnership with PGE, has been awarded a grant for $250M by the Department of Energy to rebuild the 100-mile Bethel-Round Butte line to 500kV. As the primary Project Manager, you will work with the team to plan, engineer, permit and construct the Bethel-Round Butte project.

Not only will the Bethel-Round Butte line provide needed reliability to our entire system, but it will also bring huge benefits to the Tribes like education opportunities in clean energy, skills training programs for tribal youth and adults, and jobs for underrepresented populations. Furthermore, the completion of the project will likely facilitate new renewable resource projects on Reservation land that will benefit both the Tribes and PGE.

This project will be complex and demanding in many ways, but the entire PGE organization will be supporting the team through all aspects of the project. Government agencies, including the Department of Energy, have also expressed interest in the project and have offered their support as well. This is an amazing opportunity to shape the energy future in the Northwest, support our customers, and unlock a multitude of opportunities for the Tribes.
