- Lead design reviews, stakeholder meetings, and presentations
- Coordinate across disciplines to deliver efficient, constructible solutions
- Manage change processes, permitting, and regulatory approvals
- Support construction through field engagement and issue resolution
- Continuously improve project delivery through lessons learned and feedback
Why Work in Hawaii
- Meaningful Projects - Support grid resilience, renewable integration, and energy independence
- Unique Engineering Challenges - Work on islanded systems that accelerate your growth
- Visible Impact - See the results of your work in the communities you serve
- Collaborative Market - Build strong relationships across a tight-knit professional network
- Lifestyle Advantage - Enjoy world-class outdoor living alongside a rewarding career
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Wants to move into leadership and take full ownership of projects
- Values collaboration, mentorship, and professional growth

Preferred Qualification

- 3+ years of experience in power delivery/project execution
- Prior experience with an engineering consulting firm
- Proven ability to lead teams and manage client relationships
- Experience in power delivery, utility engineering, or related infrastructure
- Strong project management and leadership capabilities
- Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Knowledge of utility standards, codes, and regulatory requirements
- Proactive mindset with a drive for ownership and results
Qualifications
