Project Manager - Power Generation

Basic Function

The Project Manager ("PM") is responsible for the successful execution of SB Energy's utility-scale thermal generation projects, with a primary focus on combined-cycle natural gas-fired power plants, beginning at Limited Notice-to-Proceed ("LNTP") through Final Completion ("FC"). The PM is responsible for project budget, schedule, safety performance, contract compliance, and overall project delivery during the construction phase.

The PM will manage Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") partners, Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), major equipment suppliers, and consultants; leverage and coordinate SB Energy's internal expertise; and serve as the primary representative for the project both internally and externally. The PM is expected to be a primary decision-maker in day-to-day project execution while escalating material commercial, safety, regulatory, technical, or schedule impacts as appropriate.
