  • Perform margin analysis, risk assessments, and contingency planning for power delivery projects.
  • Coordinate contract negotiations, client presentations, and stakeholder meetings with utilities, municipalities, and regulatory agencies.
  • Develop and maintain project plans including PMP, Safety Plans, Risk Management Plans, and QA/QC procedures.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams specializing in all aspects of distribution design.
  • Partner with Project Accounting to manage financials including forecasting, earned value management (EVM), and profitability tracking.
  • Lead efforts in change management, scope control, and claims mitigation.
  • Coordinate with technical managers on staffing for overhead and underground distribution projects.
  • Ensure adherence to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards, escalating issues when necessary.
  • Provide reporting to clients and leadership on project performance, risks, schedule, and budget status.
  • Manage project closeout activities, including lessons learned and continuous improvement for future projects.
  • Stay current on power industry trends, grid resilience, distributed energy resources (DER), and electrification initiatives.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
