Monitor program performance and provide recommendations to address schedule, budget, resource, and execution risks.
Develop and maintain program-level schedules, dashboards, metrics, and reporting tools to track progress against business objectives.
Coordinate planning activities across multiple projects to identify interdependencies, resource constraints, and opportunities for efficiency.
Facilitate workshops, planning sessions, and stakeholder engagement activities to align priorities and drive decision-making.
Support development of business cases, capital investment plans, and long-range budget forecasts.
Ensure program execution strategies incorporate constructability, resource availability, outage coordination, environmental considerations, and regulatory requirements.
Identify continuous improvement opportunities and implement best practices for program and portfolio management.
We are looking for a collaborative, detail-oriented program delivery professional who enjoys solving complex challenges, coordinating with stakeholder groups, and maintaining momentum in dynamic project environments.
10+ years of experience in project management, program management, construction management, utilities, energy, infrastructure, or related capital project roles.
Experience supporting utility, transmission, energy infrastructure, EPC/EPCM, engineering consulting, construction, regulated capital project, or heavy civil environments.
Demonstrated success managing programs or project portfolios with significant budget, schedule, stakeholder, and risk complexity.
Experience supporting transmission line, substation, greenfield, rebuild, network upgrade, grid expansion, or other major infrastructure projects.
Strong project controls, forecasting, financial management, documentation, and risk management capabilities.
Ability to coordinate work across a large portfolio and develop strategic delivery options.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to clearly explain complex project information to a range of audiences.
