Project Manager - Power Generation Construction

Live Anywhere:
Run Power Projects Across the Southeast

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

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Bonus eligible.
• Per diem and paid travel home between rotations.

You live on site for the life of the project, typically about three weeks on and then home.
