Build an exciting, rewarding career with us – help us make a difference for millions of people every day. Consider joining the Duke Energy team, where you'll find a friendly work environment, opportunities for growth and development, recognition for your work, and competitive pay and benefits.

The preferred location for this position is Charlotte, NC but the hiring manager will consider other locations from Greensboro, NC and westwards to Asheville, NC.  The Senior Project Manager (SrPM) has single-point accountability for the safe, predictable, and successful delivery of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage (BESS) projects from project approval through commercial operation and project closeout.

Reporting to a General Manager within Duke Energy's Project Management & Construction (PMC) organization, the SrPM serves as the owner's lead representative and is responsible for overall project performance, including safety, quality, scope, schedule, cost, risk management, stakeholder alignment, commissioning, operational readiness, and asset handover.

Projects are primarily executed through Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts and range in value between $100M and $500M. The SrPM leads a matrixed team of internal subject matter experts, manages the EPC contractor relationship, and integrates all owner responsibilities required for successful project delivery. This includes coordination with development, engineering, construction, transmission, operations, plant integration, project controls, supply chain, environmental, permitting, stakeholder engagement, and other support organizations to ensure owner-furnished equipment, grid interconnection requirements, operational readiness, and contractual obligations are successfully delivered.

The successful candidate will maintain an owner's mindset, providing effective oversight and governance while ensuring both internal stakeholders and external contractors remain aligned on achieving project objectives.
