Working Project Manager Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Our client is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead power generation projects from initial planning through final closeout. This position is responsible for coordinating project scope, schedules, budgets, resources, risks, and deliverables while maintaining effective communication among customers, technical teams, and organizational stakeholders. Reporting to the Director of Projects, the Project Manager will oversee execution across multiple phases of technically complex projects and maintain accountability for successful delivery.

The ideal candidate brings at least five years of project management experience combined with meaningful experience in the power generation industry. This individual should understand the technical and operational considerations associated with power projects and be comfortable coordinating engineering-driven work involving multiple internal and external stakeholders. Strong scheduling, cost management, risk mitigation, client communication, and organizational skills are important for success in the position.

Our client is an established provider of engineering and technical solutions supporting the power generation industry. The organization works with customers on technically demanding projects involving power generation equipment, plant systems, engineering services, upgrades, commissioning, and operational performance.

This position provides an experienced power professional with substantial ownership over projects from planning through completion rather than responsibility for only one phase of execution. The Project Manager will work directly with customers, engineering and operational personnel, and company leadership while managing projects with both domestic and international exposure. The combination of technical complexity, customer interaction, and end-to-end project responsibility makes the position well suited for a Project Manager who wants broad ownership of power generation work.

• Manage project schedules, milestones, budgets, deliverables, and resources to maintain progress and meet contractual and operational expectations.
• Coordinate engineering, operations, customers, and other project stakeholders to resolve issues, clarify requirements, and maintain alignment throughout execution.
• Monitor project performance and identify schedule, cost, resource, and execution risks, developing appropriate mitigation plans when issues arise.
• Maintain detailed project schedules and documentation while providing accurate reporting on progress, budgets, risks, resource requirements, and upcoming milestones.
• Manage customer expectations through clear communication regarding project requirements, deliverables, schedules, progress, and changes.

• Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, or workstreams while maintaining schedule and execution discipline.
• Ability to travel to customer and project sites domestically and internationally based on project requirements and timelines.

• Bachelor's degree in business management, project management, engineering, or a related technical discipline.
