QISG is seeking a Project Executive to lead our largest and most complex programs, typically $500 million or more and involving multiple Quanta operating companies. Engaged during pursuit, this leader shapes delivery strategy, supports estimate and contract reviews, establishes the program baseline before mobilization, and remains accountable through execution and closeout.

The Project Executive is the program's single point of accountability for safety, financial performance, schedule, customer outcomes, and team effectiveness. This role brings together Quanta operating companies and leaders across development, engineering, procurement, construction, controls, contracts, quality, operational performance, finance, safety, and training to deliver an integrated One Quanta experience.

• Lead delivery strategy from pursuit through closeout, including estimate and contract reviews, baseline development, mobilization readiness, execution, commissioning and start-up, and lessons learned.
• Set and uphold a consistent program-wide safety standard, ensuring planning, sequencing, staffing, and schedule decisions protect the people performing the work.
• Own the program P&L, budget, forecast, productivity, cash flow, and financial reporting; lead regular performance reviews and provide transparent, timely visibility to risk, change positions, claims, issues, and required decisions.
• Independently validate cost and schedule by challenging productivity assumptions, sequencing, contingency, and change positions against the program's actual execution requirements.
• Establish the controls and governance foundation before mobilization, including the baseline, work breakdown structure, cost codes, risk register, decision rights, escalation paths, and delegation of authority.
• Build and lead a high-performing, integrated team across Quanta operating companies and disciplines; resolve resource, sequencing, scope, and organizational conflicts before they affect the customer.
• Maintain a current, integrated view of safety, commercial, technical, schedule, and execution risk and drive timely mitigation.
• Integrate engineering, procurement, construction, operations, finance, safety, training, quality, and commissioning so critical execution requirements are addressed early.
• Serve as a primary customer contact and strategic advisor, aligning on program status, decisions, constraints, stakeholder requirements, and opportunities to improve delivery.
• Develop future leaders through intentional staffing, clear accountability, coaching, and stretch opportunities; return talent to operating companies stronger than when they joined the program.

• 12+ years of progressive experience in EPC or infrastructure construction across utility transmission and distribution, MEP, data centers, renewables, oil and gas facilities, underground utility, industrial, or large commercial construction.
• 5+ years in a Project Executive, Project Director, senior operations, program controls, or similar leadership role on large, multidisciplinary programs.
• Direct responsibility for estimating, contract negotiation, engineering, procurement, construction, project controls, financial performance, and client relationships.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Deep working knowledge of scheduling, cost control, forecasting, contract and change management, claims, cash flow, risk management, and coordination…
