City Light & Power (CLP) is expanding its Construction Project Management Office (PMO) and is seeking a Project Manager to support our design‑build federal, municipal, and private‑sector construction projects.

The Construction PMO is a collaborative, fast‑growing organization that works closely with engineering, construction, and operations teams to deliver projects efficiently from design through close‑out.
