Project Manager - Microgrid Tranche

Extraordinary teams building inspiring projects

Since 1898, we have helped customers complete more than 25,000 projects in 160 countries on all seven continents that have created jobs, grew economies, improved the resiliency of the world’s infrastructure, increased access to energy, resources, and vital services, and made the world a safer and cleaner place.

Differentiated by the quality of our people and our relentless drive to deliver the most successful outcomes, we align our capabilities to our customers’ objectives to create a lasting positive impact. We serve the Infrastructure;
Nuclear, Security & Environmental;
Energy;
Mining & Metals, and the Manufacturing and Technology markets. Our services span from initial planning and investment, through start‑up and operations.

We are looking for top talent to join the Renewables & Clean Power business to deliver the largest natural gas projects in the company’s history. This project is a nominal 2500 MW “behind the meter” power complex that will provide electrical power directly to an adjoining data center complex and will be designed for an optional grid interconnection in the future. Bechtel is currently supporting our customer to define the behind‑the‑meter scope and design basis for the project which will utilize multiple technologies, including Solar T350 Turbines, BESS, temporary load banks, an AIS substation/microgrid and GEV 7HA.02 combustion turbines to deliver reliable and responsive electric power generation.

The delivery of each of these asset classes is a project in and of itself, so the project will be structured accordingly with a project manager over each tranche of power asset class delivery. The project will be located 30 miles southeast of Pecos, TX, 80 miles west to southwest of Midland, TX. Draft project assignment conditions are available and are meant to offer flexibility to allow the various needs of our top talent to participate in this revolutionary project.

Reporting to the Project Manager, the candidate will be responsible for managing, coordinating, and administering the T350 & Microgrid through all stages of engineering, construction, procurement, performance testing, initial operations, and prime contract management. The ideal candidate will have strong commercial acumen and a background in business development, power generation technologies, and/or combined‑cycle plant operations.

This position will begin in Reston, VA for 3–6 months, after which relocation to the site will be required. #LI-JL1
