About the job
Project Manager – Power Generation Construction
Live Anywhere: Run Power Projects Across the Southeast
Details
Location: Home base open; full-time travel to project sites from Texas east, as far north as Kentucky
Industry: Heavy Industrial Construction – Power Generation
Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire
Job Description
Our client is a large, self-perform heavy industrial contractor with a growing power generation group. It builds combined-cycle, gas-fired and industrial power projects, including behind-the-meter generation for large private loads.
Position Summary
The Project Manager owns one power project from start to finish, through startup. You are the owner's main contact and run the job day to day. This is a hands-on, working PM role, not a corporate one.
What You Will Be Doing
Leading superintendents and self-perform craft across mechanical, piping, electrical, steel and concrete.
Managing schedule, cost, forecasting, labor productivity and change orders.
Coordinating subcontracted scopes alongside self-perform work.
Leading owner meetings.
Driving safety and quality on site every day.
Required Qualifications
5+ years managing heavy industrial construction projects.
Power generation project experience: combined-cycle, simple-cycle, CT, HRSG, cogeneration or BOP.
Self-perform / direct-hire craft experience, not only managing subcontractors.
Preferred Qualifications
Combined-cycle or behind-the-meter / data-center power experience.
Open-shop (non-union) project experience.
Primavera P6 proficiency.
Not a fit: True heavy industrial background required. Commercial, institutional, government or water/wastewater-only experience will not be a fit. Renewables-only backgrounds are not the target.
Compensation
Bonus eligible.
Per diem and paid travel home between rotations.
Work Environment
You live on site for the life of the project, typically about three weeks on and then home.
