If you're looking for more than just managing schedules and budgets—and want to influence strategy, mentor teams, and help shape the future of the power industry—this is the opportunity for you.

We're seeking a dynamic leader to join our growing Transmission & Distribution team.

  • Own projects from proposal through completion with significant decision-making authority
  • Influence business growth by developing new and existing client relationships
  • Collaborate with nationally recognized engineering experts across multiple disciplines
  • Mentor future leaders while advancing your own career into senior leadership

As a Project Manager, you'll be responsible for both project delivery and client success.

Project Leadership

  • Lead transmission engineering projects from initial planning through construction and closeout
  • Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, profitability, forecasting, and financial performance
  • Develop project execution plans, manage project risks, and oversee change management
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams including engineering, environmental, permitting, right-of-way, procurement, project controls, and construction management
  • Ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with QA/QC standards

Client & Business Development

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for utility and energy clients
  • Build trusted client relationships that generate repeat business and long-term partnerships
  • Identify opportunities to expand services within existing accounts
  • Lead proposal development, client presentations, and contract negotiations
  • Participate in strategic planning and business development initiatives that drive continued growth

Team Leadership

  • Mentor engineers and project professionals
  • Support hiring, onboarding, and development of project teams
  • Foster collaboration across engineering disciplines
  • Promote a culture focused on safety, quality, innovation, and continuous improvement

We're looking for a leader who combines technical expertise with exceptional project management and client relationship skills.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related technical discipline
  • 7+ years of engineering experience
  • 3+ years managing Transmission & Distribution engineering projects
  • Experience managing overhead transmission line projects from design through construction
  • Strong understanding of project financial management, budgeting, forecasting, scheduling, and risk management
  • Experience developing transmission design and construction documents
  • Working knowledge of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and applicable industry standards
  • Proven success leading multidisciplinary engineering teams
  • Demonstrated ability to build client relationships and win repeat business
  • Outstanding leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills

You'll be successful if you:

  • Enjoy leading complex, high-profile engineering projects
  • Take ownership and accountability for project outcomes
  • Excel at building strong client relationships
  • Think strategically while staying focused on execution
  • Like mentoring others and developing high-performing teams
  • Have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy helping grow a business

This is more than a project management role—it's an opportunity to influence the future of critical energy infrastructure while building lasting client partnerships and advancing your career with a team that values leadership, innovation, and technical excellence.
