  • Collaborate with others as needed to provide consultation on specific projects when needed and to develop processes and solutions that achieve our goals for excellence and client centricity.
  • Be responsible for the successful implementation of all client-specific software, tools, and processes.
  • Ensure outstanding training is provided to incoming and existing staff.
  • Provide career development guidance to your team.
  • Provide general consultation to client(s), but project specific decisions / consultations are to be communicated by the assigned Project Manager.

  • Complete specific tasks as needed and as determined by yourself or the Leadership Team.
  • Support the Leadership Team with strategic initiatives.
  • Foster a safety-focused culture.
  • Foster a positive and inclusive work environment that promotes teamwork, open communication, and mutual respect.
  • Be involved with consulting on your team's portfolios where your expertise and guidance are needed.
You should bring to the table:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or similar. Master's Degree preferred.
  • Minimum of ten years of experience managing utility clients, projects, and people. Electric utility project management required.
  • A proven track record leading Transmission and/or Substation projects (10 yrs minimum) required.
