  • Establish project controls, execution plans, and internal processes to support successful delivery.

  • Ensure deliverables meet client expectations and internal QA/QC standards.

  • Report regularly on progress, cost, schedule, procurement, safety, design issues, and risks.

  • Support the growth of the Transmission team through hiring, training, and mentoring.

  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams across multiple small to mid‑sized projects.

  • Participate in strategic planning and sales development efforts.

  • Travel to client offices and project sites as needed.

  • Perform all other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management or related degree from an accredited program and 7 years applicable experience is required.

  • Prior experience on construction project sites or executing program management in the industries of aviation, commercial, energy, government, manufacturing, oil & gas, process, transmission & distribution, or water is preferred.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and attention to detail.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, demanding work environment, ability to work overtime on short notice.

  • Excellent computer skills and proficiency using Microsoft Office.

  • Ability to work collaboratively with others (owners, contractors, engineers, designers) in a multi-disciplined project team environment to resolve design or drawing issues as appropriate and to accomplish objectives.
