The Role
We are seeking an experienced Transmission Project Management Supervisor to lead and support the successful delivery of large-scale electric transmission and utility infrastructure projects. In this role, you will mentor a team of Transmission Project Managers while overseeing project performance, budget forecasting, and compliance across a portfolio of complex capital projects.
This position plays a key role in ensuring projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget while maintaining strong alignment with client expectations and regulatory requirements.
What Your Day Will Look Like:
  • Lead and mentor Transmission Project Managers through all phases of electric transmission projects, including initiation, routing and siting, engineering and design, procurement, construction, commissioning, energization, and project closeout.
  • Oversee project performance by monitoring schedule, cost, safety, risk, and quality metrics to ensure successful delivery and client satisfaction.
  • Manage capital project forecasts for a portfolio of transmission projects ranging from approximately $50M-$100M, including tracking spend and communicating budget updates or variances to stakeholders.
  • Review and support project governance documentation, including Project Execution Plans (PEPs), project authorization packages, and other materials required for client funding and approval processes.
  • Ensure compliance with client standards and project governance processes, including stage-gate reviews, construction governance requirements, and regulatory procedures.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, environmental, permitting, supply chain, construction, and operations to support successful project execution.
  • Provide regular reporting and updates to internal leadership and client stakeholders on project performance and portfolio status.
  • Travel up to 10% for client meetings, project site visits, and stakeholder coordination.
What You'll Bring to the Familia:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).
  • 7+ years of experience managing or supporting electric transmission, utility, or large infrastructure projects.
  • Experience leading, mentoring, or supervising Project Managers or project teams.
  • Strong understanding of the transmission project lifecycle, including siting, permitting, engineering/design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and closeout.
  • Experience managing large capital projects, preferably $50M+.
  • Familiarity with utility project management frameworks, stage-gate processes, and construction management practices.
  • Ability to analyze project financials, budgets, forecasts, and performance metrics.
  • Strong communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Knowledge of regulatory, safety, and compliance requirements related to utility or transmission projects.
  • Proficiency with project management tools and Microsoft Office Suite.
