Sr Project Engineer Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

CAMS is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the development and delivery of large, high-value, high-complexity capital projects within the power generation and energy infrastructure sectors. This role is accountable for end-to-end outcomes (safety, scope, cost, schedule, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction) and provides senior leadership across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning functions.

The Senior Project Manager serves as the primary owner-side execution authority and governance lead, responsible for establishing (and protecting) approved scope, cost, and schedule baselines; leading stage-gate readiness and approvals; and delivering assigned projects safely, on schedule, and within authorized funding. The role enforces disciplined risk management, integrated change control, and decision traceability to support transparency, claims avoidance, and stakeholder alignment.

This role works closely with Project Engineers (technical authority), the Project Construction Manager (field execution authority), Project Governance and Controls, schedulers, EPC partners, and station O&M teams to ensure project objectives are fully met. This role also supports continuous improvement by reinforcing CAMS governance standards, coaching less-experienced PMs as assigned, and ensuring consistent use of systems of record for execution, reporting, and document traceability.

Merom Generating Station is a 2-Unit, 1080-MW rated coal-fired power plant.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Project Execution & Governance

• Serve as CAMS' primary point of accountability for overall project success and owner-side integration across disciplines.
• Own the project execution strategy, governance plan, and reporting cadence appropriate to project tier/complexity (including stage-gate readiness and approvals).
• Establish, maintain, and defend approved baselines for scope, cost, and schedule; lead integrated change control (technical, commercial, and schedule impacts) with clear thresholds and approvals.
• Ensure all work is executed in accordance with contractual obligations, technical requirements, safety standards, and regulatory requirements; provide proactive commercial governance to reduce claims and dispute exposure.
• Provide structured decision support and executive-level communication; identify deviations early, lead recovery planning, and drive timely escalation when thresholds are exceeded.
• Lead project closeout discipline, including turnover readiness, final documentation, financial closure coordination, and capture of lessons learned for reuse across the portfolio.

Stakeholder & Contractor Management

• Act as the principal interface between CAMS, Owner representatives, EPC project management, and external stakeholders; align expectations, decision rights, and communication pathways.
• Lead executive-level reporting and stage-gate reviews; communicate key decisions, risks, change status, and mitigation plans using accurate, current project controls data.
• Build strong working relationships with EPC partners and contractors; lead performance management, issue resolution, and negotiation/escalation as required to protect project outcomes.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation and decision traceability supporting transparency, regulatory compliance, change control, and claims avoidance.
• Ensure strong integration with station Operations & Maintenance for outage planning, constructability, LOTO coordination, and turnover/operational readiness.

Integration with Engineering & Construction

• Coordinate closely with the Project Engineer to ensure engineering deliverables, design maturity, and technical decisions support the approved baseline and construction needs.
• Align with the Project Construction Manager to synchronize engineering, procurement, construction sequencing, work packaging, and outage planning; ensure field progress is reflected in schedule and forecast.
• Ensure timely review/approval of design packages, technical submittals, RFIs, and field change requests, including assessment of cost and schedule impacts.
• Enforce rigorous integrated change control to minimize commercial exposure, prevent scope creep, and preserve baseline integrity.
